About the role
As our Head of Comms, you will be the architect of our external voice and internal cohesion, responsible for shaping how the world sees us, hears us, and engages with us. From media relations to thought leadership, from crisis comms to content strategy, you’ll lead a small, high-impact team and work cross-functionally to bring our mission to life in ways that resonate, inspire, and activate. A builder, not a maintainer, you’re excited by change and unafraid of rolling up your sleeves.
