Description:
This top global communications and entertainment company, known for its fast paced and creative culture, is looking for a Head of External Communications & PR to manage its reputation by developing and implementing its external communications plan across the world.

We want a commercially savvy high flier with significant experience in a global PR function at a blue chip company and proven ability to thrive in a multi-cultural, cross functional team. Multiple communications/PR skills are required in depth – corporate, consumer lifestyle/product, and a particular focus on digital and social media PR. Working with senior management and reporting into the Head of Global Communications & PR, you will develop the agency’s thought leadership position and the over arching global communications strategy and PR function to help meet the business objectives of the company. This will include developing a PR strategy for CSR, government affairs, the environment and sustainability, and crisis communications.

The role will involve managing and directing the global agency and working with PR managers in local markets to ensure consistent messaging across the communications and marketing mix and the seamless co-ordination of all global events, product launches and on-going campaigns. You will work closely with the internal communications team to synchronise internal and external messaging. The ability to inspire, mentor, develop and lead people is paramount as you will not only be managing a host of internal and external stakeholders but also your own team.

Headquartered in West London, there will be international travel. Flexibility important.
