As our Diversity and Inclusion Partner, you’ll shape a culture where everyone belongs—championing bold ideas, amplifying underrepresented voices, and turning ambition into action.

From influencing leaders to empowering grassroots initiatives, you’ll help make Bauer a destination for diverse talent and inclusive creativity.

Our Team

You’ll be part of our Audio People & Culture Team, working closely and in partnership with our UK Publishing People team. Together you'll drive a joined-up approach that supports both the Audio and Publishing UK business.

Lead with Insight - Use high-quality data and anecdotal feedback to generate meaningful insights. Translate these into clear priorities, recommendations, and actions that lead to tangible change and enhances diversity and inclusion at Bauer.

Create Shared Accountability - Develop and embed governance frameworks that hold leaders and teams to account on their D&I ambitions linking goals, actions, and results in a way that drives momentum and maintains integrity.

Partner for Inclusion - Collaborate closely with Audio and Publishing HR, the D&I Forums, other employee networks and individual teams across the UK organisation to foster a culture where inclusion is everyone’s business and belonging is a daily reality.

Champion an Inclusive Brand - Shape and influence our employer brand so that we’re recognised as an inclusive, values-driven destination for diverse talent across the UK media landscape.

Innovate and Influence – Bring creative thinking and industry insight to the table, staying ahead of emerging trends and ensuring Bauer remains bold, progressive and inclusive.
