The Opportunity

- Work collaboratively with colleagues across internal, external and corporate communications and the wider business to ensure leadership positioning and messages remain aligned across all channels.
- Contribute to a collaborative, inclusive and high-performing team culture.
- Excellent writing skills, with the range to develop narratives and adapt them for speeches, scripts, and written communications.
