• By ‘tactical' communications we mean: a regular cadence of ‘business as usual’ comms from the COO teams (e.g. regular functional updates)

• By ‘strategic’ communications we mean: specific, bespoke projects, potentially requiring one or more members of the Internal Communications team to deliver (e.g. communicating an organizational redesign)

• By ‘ad hoc’ communications we mean those that crop up unexpectedly, and can be potentially sensitive or relate to an emergency (and sometimes need to go out at short notice)

• Developing and executing integrated communication and engagement plans for the Chief Operating Officer and supporting each of the COO teams

• Being the Internal Communications liaison with change program leads and business readiness / ways-of-working colleagues

• Targeting and tailoring comms at different audience groups, based on their specific needs · Outstanding engagement skills, specifically including communicating from the perspective and experience of our audiences about what is happening, why, and what it means for them

• Managing our existing, and developing new, comms channels to inform, engage and excite our audiences about change

• Coordinating our Modernization Champion network, so they are enthused and ready to influence and advocate for changes being made

• Work with the broader Internal Communications team on the design and delivery of team / functional / group-wide events that support our culture (e.g. Exec Q&As, strategy events, results presentations, functional deep-dives, welcome calls, employee social events, culture days, etc.) and campaigns (e.g. translating our engagement survey results into measurable actions etc.) to highlight and promote specific issues

• Work on a range of Internal Comms projects as and when necessary (e.g. reviewing and refreshing our channels, audience segmentation, strategy development, identifying new comms and engagement platforms, etc.), to improve delivery across the whole Internal Comms team

• Proactively, act as an ‘internal journalist’ seeking out interesting stories (about leadership, change, people, strategy etc.) from across the business, and finding the right channel to deliver them to the right audience
