Join a global community of more than 370,000 people who value bold ideas, collaboration, and lasting change. Together, we’re building trust and shaping the future.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the strategic development and implementation of communications activity, reactive corporate communications and issues management (where required), with a focus on our People & Culture portfolio and Enabling Functions.
• Work with Corporate Affairs leaders to develop strategies and implement campaigns that are delivered on time, to budget and achieve impactful and measurable results.
• Use your excellent communication and stakeholder skills and experience influencing senior leaders to drive alignment across diverse teams and act as a trusted advisor on issues to internal stakeholders including Management Leadership Team and the Governance Board.
• Lead the development and implementation of measures that assess the impact of communications output and gather feedback for future improvement, and review corporate communication material produced by your team.
• Leverage your existing leadership experience having led or coached high-performing teams in corporate communications.

• Proven experience in corporate communications or internal communications within a dynamic, high-profile organisation.
• Strategic thinking with the ability to lead complex work and deliver quality outcomes.
• Strong project management skills with a results-oriented approach.
• Demonstrated ability to build relationships quickly and influence senior stakeholders effectively.
• Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.

Desirable skills

• Agility and willingness to lean into new challenges and shifting priorities.
• A collaborative mindset with a genuine appreciation for constructive challenge and knowledge-sharing.
