About the Allwyn UK Communications Team
The Allwyn UK Communications team's mission is two-fold, to promote and protect the reputation of Allwyn UK as the custodian of The National Lottery, and to create excitement and a positive landscape for The National Lottery to flourish.
We champion, (through our people, purpose and products), The National Lottery's impact on the UK more broadly and its ability to change lives every day. Whether we're driving great news stories, delivering high-impact campaigns or getting ahead of issues and risks, we're a passionate, proactive and high-performing team that's always on.
To join our team, we need more than simply impeccable skills, we're looking for communications experts that match our values, creativity and mindset: a strong belief in the power of data to make better informed decisions; great content creators and storytellers who put an audience-first view at the heart of everything we do; and a creative and agile approach to impactful, integrated communications.
A bit about the role
Reporting to the Head of Corporate Communications, the Newsroom Editor will oversee our always-on news operations. With a primary focus on identifying and harnessing both external news and internal business moments that support the reputation and transformation of The National Lottery, you will lead a media relations team to make The National Lottery relevant and exciting for modern Britain through compelling storytelling across all platforms.
Partnering with colleagues across the Communications function you will source and identify the stories that help us to reimagine how The National Lottery shows up in contemporary culture, as well as identifying the primary channels to maximise impact. You'll also help protect our brands, by being the eyes and ears on who is talking about Allwyn UK and The National Lottery externally, what news is trending and being quick to respond where we should have a clear voice.
