Senior Communications Manager

The Senior Communications Manager - Campaigns post offers an exciting and varied role, from planning communications activity to creating high quality content across a number of platforms. Seeking a better understanding of the impact of our work, you will use insight and analytic tools to create more effective strategies, whilst listening to partners and stakeholders to ensure everyone is heard and represented by the Agency.

From advising senior leaders and teams on how to land colleague messages with impact, to looking for creative ways to expand our colleague engagement, the Senior Communications Manager - Internal Communications will also enjoy a varied and creative role. The successful candidate will build strong relationships within the Agency, working with colleagues, HR and our staff networks to ensure FSA messaging is delivered effectively across the organisation and is accurate and inclusive.

Both roles require a proactive leader who can present the FSA's vision and messaging appropriately. Working as part of the communications team, the successful candidates will work closely with colleagues, offering support and insight wherever necessary. Evaluation will underpin all that you do.

Candidates will have excellent technical communications skills and a strong ability to engage with the bigger picture. You will be able to identify the way your work can impact the perception of internal or external audiences, to create the most effective campaigns possible. We are looking for enthusiastic team players who are capable of delivering high quality results whilst maintaining a strong pace.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

This recruitment exercise is a joint campaign for two very similar roles. Although candidates may, if they wish, express a preference in their personal statement for a particular role, the panel will determine suitability for either role available.
