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.
