Communications Manager

Job Title: Communications Manager

Location: London

Job type: Full-Time

Asia House is an independent think tank and platform for global engagement, working at the

intersection of business, policy and geopolitics. We convene decision makers, deliver actionable

insights, and drive commercial and political outcomes. Based in London, we work with leading

companies and governments across Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

We are looking for an experienced Communications Manager to lead our digital output and

elevate how we communicate with our audiences.

The Role

This role will sit at the heart of how we present our ideas, research and convening power to the

world. The Communications Manager will oversee Asia House’s online channels, external

mailings, and the production of reports, summaries and multimedia materials – ensuring they

are polished, engaging, and reflect our position as a globally respected platform for dialogue and

insight.

This is a hands-on, creative and editorial role, combining digital content strategy with

responsibility for publishing, visual brand, and online engagement. You will work across teams to

bring our work to life – whether as a web feature, infographic, animated explainer or short video

– and manage the tools and platforms that deliver our work to our audiences.

• Write summaries of events, research reports and op-ed pieces for external media
• Ensure all public-facing content aligns with our style guide and visual identity
• Oversee templates, decks and visual outputs across the organisation, maintaining high standards and consistency

Editorial Oversight

• Review and edit text for clarity, tone, accuracy and accessibility
• Work with colleagues across programmes and partnerships to ensure our work is communicated clearly and effectively

• Build and maintain relationships with key journalists and media outlets
• Draft and distribute press releases, media advisories and comment pieces
• Coordinate expert commentary and media interviews with Asia House leadership and analysts
• Track media coverage and ensure that our insights and events gain visibility and impact across relevant platforms

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone with strong editorial judgement, an eye for design, and a passion

for presenting ideas in creative, accessible ways. You should be a confident writer and editor,

able to craft engaging, intelligent copy that reflects Asia House’s voice and resonates with senior

audiences. Whether it’s a tweet, newsletter intro or event summary, you will be expected to

turn complex insights into clear, compelling content that cuts through.

Essential

• At least 3–5 years’ experience in digital content, communications or editorial roles
• Excellent written English with an eye for tone, accuracy and detail
• Strong experience with WordPress, Mailchimp, and Canva (or similar tools)
