Our client is an international and highly progressive consumer organisation which has undergone significant growth in recent years, expanding its footprint and reputation across new markets around the globe. With a fast-paced, people-centric culture and an ambitious global growth strategy underway, an opportunity awaits for an experienced Communications leader to drive the development and execution of its global communications strategy.
Reporting to the Director of Communuications, this role will develop and implement an integrated communications strategy to build trust and confidence with colleagues, leaders and external stakeholders across all markets. Acting as a senior adviser and trusted partner to the business, you will have responsibility for leading the global communications and press office function; building and sustaining relationships with the media, and acting as senior counsel on strategic business milestones, issues and crises. You will also own leadership and internal communications, acting as a two-way conduit between senior leaders and the wider business, and will work closely with the wider corporate affairs team to ensure their story is told with consistency and credibility. The role will lead a high-performing, Dublin-based team and drive closer coordination between the centre and local markets.
The ideal candidate is tertiary qualified in Communications or a related discipline and presents with a minimum of 12 years' senior communications experience, gained within large, international, consumer-facing organisations. You have experience working across multiple markets and understand the mechanics of how to lead integrated communications programmes in a complex, matrixed, multi-market structure. You have extensive experience working with media, senior leaders and external stakeholders, and you're very comfortable operating at Executive and Board level as a trusted strategic adviser. You are known for your resilient, can-do attitude, building long, trusted relationships with stakeholders at every level, and you bring the commercial acumen and instinct to translate strategy into a compelling narrative. With genuine gravitas and self-assurance, you are, above all, a hands-on driver of communication outcomes and reputation management.
This is a strategic yet hands-on role and ideally suited to someone who enjoys working broadly across corporate, internal and external communications, and who can work at pace whilst moving fluidly as priorities and markets shift. This role is well-matched to an experienced Communications professional looking for a challenge, longevity and the opportunity to work within an organisation which has an enviable culture within its sector.
This role is Dublin based with some travel.
