Communications Manager

About The Ned:

The Ned and Ned’s Club are a global collection of hotels, clubs, spas, and restaurants for like-minded individuals to meet, work and have a good time.

The Ned launched in 2017 in the heart of the City, in the former Midland Bank headquarters. The Ned City of London houses Ned’s Club - a private members’ space, gym and rooftop - alongside a public spa, a full floor of events spaces, ten restaurants and bars and 250 hotel bedrooms.

Where you’ll be working:

You’ll be mainly based out of The Ned London, located in the beautiful old Midland Bank (there isn’t a nicer building in the city, but we’re biased). We’re five days a week in the office, as we’re very relationship-focussed and it’s just not the same on a screen.

Reporting to the Director of Communications you will:

• Oversee all aspects of press, social media, and graphic design to deliver a creative, multi-media communications plan
• Lead on all people leadership tasks for your team – including recruitment, development, and performance chats
• Implement the communications strategy across the property in collaboration with the wider team
• Develop and execute communications plans to secure coverage across traditional, digital, and social media platforms
• Build and maintain strong media relationships and proactively pitch stories across hotel disciplines
• Lead the creation and curation of compelling content, including newsletters, social media campaigns, and press materials

What can The Ned give you?

• Salary of up to £48,000 depending on experience
• Enhanced parental leave, company sick pay and pension
• Complimentary meals in our friendly team restaurant, Neddy’s including monthly payday breakfast
• Exciting learning and development programmes to help progress your career
• Exclusive rates at The Ned for staying and eating for you, your family and friends
• Regular social events, including an annual pool party
• Employee assistance programme – 24/7 advice and support
• Reward and recognition initiatives

What you can bring to the role:

• 5+ years of experience in communications, ideally within luxury travel, retail, or hospitality
• A proven track record of delivering successful communications campaigns and securing top-tier media coverage
• Strong network of media contacts and experience working with influencers and content creators
• Exceptional copywriting and organisational skills, with a creative and strategic mindset
• Ability to lead a team, manage budgets, and work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment

At The Ned, we don't just celebrate our diversity, we challenge ourselves to do even better. The Ned is committed to being the best place to work, and ensuring that we have a leading diversity, equity and inclusion programme is central to making that vision a reality.

Please let us know of any specific needs you may have during your interview.

All candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK to be considered for this role.
