Communications Manager

Descripción del puesto:

Hello potential future (COMPANY NAME) employee. It's us, the original oat drink company that started in Sweden back 25 or so years ago.
In the last few years, we've become a popular and pioneering dairy-alt player in the UK market. We're continuing to establish our presence here, determined on being part of the discussion on the long-term future of the food and beverage industry. With this growth, we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the oat drink flowing.
We exist to make it easy for people to eat better and live healthier lives without recklessly taxing the planet's resources in the process. If this resonates with you, then maybe you'd like work for (COMPANY NAME), too. So, let's get to the formal stuff.

The Role

We're looking for a Communications Manager to join our comms team, covering the UK and Ireland. In this role you'll help deliver the PR strategy for the UK and Ireland markets, elevate the (COMPANY NAME) brand to UK consumers and stakeholders, and help mobilise the post-milk generation.
You'll report in to the Head of Communications, UK & Ireland and be a part of the global communications team working across our markets - helping communicate the organisation's mission to help people live healthier lives without recklessly taxing the planet's resources. You'll promote (COMPANY NAME)'s products, working alongside the brand, sales, public affairs, sustainability and community management teams to deliver on commercial goals. Here's what the day to day could look like...

* Support the success of (COMPANY NAME)'s brand, PR and PA campaigns through earned media and influencer activity.
* Work with (COMPANY NAME) UK's PR agency to create a regular drumbeat of content, sampling and features relating to (COMPANY NAME)'s products across our target press and channels.
* Keep on top of news and popular culture and find ways to creatively and genuinely insert (COMPANY NAME) into people's lives.
* Support (COMPANY NAME)'s marketing events and press office, responding to enquiries and protecting the brand's reputation

Who You Are

If the below sounds like you, we'd love to see you apply:
* Demonstrable experience working in communications (either in-house or agency) with a genuine love and interest for the news cycle and earning media.
* An organised multi-tasker who relishes working on more than one project at any one time.
* A passion for writing, with a knack for spotting what makes a story interesting.
* Someone who enjoys communicating with a wide range of stakeholders regularly - from press, agencies, influencers to internal stakeholders and teams.
* Ideally, previous experience working in food and drink or fast-moving goods. You're just as eloquent in consumer lifestyle media as you are trade publications.
* A love for magazines, lifestyle trends, social media and popular culture - you can't help but be up to date on what's in and what's out.
* An interest in food, sustainability, mission-led brands and transforming our global food system for the sake of people and planet.
