Communications & Engagement Lead

Shape the way an entire organisation communicates.
Great internal communication doesn't just share information. It creates culture, builds engagement and helps people understand why their work matters.
We're looking for an Communications & Engagement Lead to join one of the UK's most respected technology manufacturers, creating products that genuinely make a difference around the world.
This is a brand-new role, giving you the rare opportunity to build an internal communications function from the ground up. Rather than inheriting established processes, you'll have the freedom to shape strategy, introduce new ideas and make a visible impact across the entire business.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Director of Talent & Culture, with a dotted line into the Product & Marketing Director, the Communications & Engagement Lead will sit at the heart of the business, bringing together People, Marketing and Product teams to ensure every employee understands where the company is heading, why it matters and the role they play in its success.
You'll help transform internal communication from something that's currently ad hoc into a professional, engaging and strategic function that connects colleagues with the company's vision, products, culture and purpose.
What You'll Be Doing
The Communications & Engagement Lead will develop and deliver an internal communications and engagement strategy that supports the company's growth while creating an exceptional employee experience.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Creating engaging internal communications that bring the company's strategy, purpose and culture to life.
* Developing communication plans for business change, people initiatives and employee engagement campaigns.
* Supporting product launches and commercial initiatives by ensuring employees understand what's being launched, why it matters and how it supports the wider business.
* Working closely with HR, Product and Marketing to ensure internal and external messaging is aligned.
* Developing and promoting the Employee Value Proposition (EVP), helping attract and retain great people.
* Creating leadership briefings, presentations, campaigns and communication materials.
* Measuring engagement and communication effectiveness, using employee feedback and data to continuously improve.
About You
We're looking for someone who's already built a solid foundation in internal communications and is ready to take ownership of their own function.
You'll probably have:
* Experience in Internal Communications, Employee Engagement or Corporate Communications.
* Strong copywriting and storytelling skills.
* Experience creating communication strategies rather than simply delivering requests.
* Exposure to marketing, product communications or commercial communications alongside HR communications.
* The ability to influence stakeholders across all levels of an organisation.
* Experience creating engaging content across multiple communication channels.
* A creative mindset with excellent organisational skills and high emotional intelligence.
