This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2432 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,100, and NLA is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2493 (Public relations professionals, Role includes PR, stakeholder comms and corporate positioning) or SOC 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals, Hands-on content production and campaign delivery described). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Marketing & Communications Manager, Opportunity London at NLA
We are looking for a proactive and project minded Marketing & Communications Manager to lead day-to-day marketing and communications for Opportunity London, the capital's investment promotion platform.
This is a varied, hands-on role for someone who can turn strategic priorities into clear plans, compelling content and well-executed campaigns. You will work closely with senior leaders, partners, investors and specialist colleagues, taking ownership of activity from initial idea through to delivery and evaluation.
About Opportunity London
Opportunity London brings together public and private sector partners to promote London as a leading destination for sustainable investment. Through campaigns, events, research, international engagement and investor communications, it tells London's story to global audiences and helps connect investment with opportunity across the capital.
What you'll do
• Plan and deliver an integrated marketing and communications programme aligned with Opportunity London's priorities.
• Manage content across key channels, including newsletters, social media, digital content, presentations and corporate materials.
• Develop communications that support relationships with partners, investors and priority stakeholders.
• Lead campaigns around major events, research, launches, international missions, exhibitions and announcements.
• Produce Opportunity London’s podcast series.
• Coordinate Opportunity London and NLA presence at major exhibitions and conferences.
• Spot proactive stories, themes and opportunities arising from the work of Opportunity London and its network.
• Coordinate agencies, creative suppliers and production partners, ensuring activity is delivered to a high standard, on time and within budget.
• Use audience and performance insight to set objectives, measure impact and continually improve activity.
• Maintain consistent messaging and ensure all communications reflect the Opportunity London and NLA brands.
About you
- Proactive and comfortable taking ownership rather than waiting for a detailed brief.
- An excellent project manager, able to juggle multiple priorities, stakeholders and deadlines.
- Confident working directly with senior leaders, investors, partners and external stakeholders — without needing to own those relationships.
- Collaborative by instinct — genuinely comfortable drawing on specialist colleagues rather than trying to do everything personally.
- Commercially aware, curious and outward-looking, able to spot connections and opportunities across networks and audiences.
- A strong written and verbal communicator, comfortable producing content while knowing when to hand off to specialist expertise.
- Confident setting deadlines, following up and driving activity through to completion.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities and opportunities can change.
Experience
- Approximately 4–6 years' experience in marketing, communications or a related role.
- Experience developing and delivering integrated marketing and communications plans.
- Strong stakeholder and project management experience, including with senior internal and external stakeholders.
- Experience developing communications for B2B, corporate, partner or investor audiences.
- Experience delivering campaigns around events, launches or major organisational moments, and managing agencies or creative suppliers.
- Built environment, investment promotion, professional services, membership or B2B events experience is advantageous but not essential.
