Job description

Corporate Communications Director/Senior Director Opportunity

This is a senior, commercially focused role for someone ready to lead from the front, grow the business, and inspire a brilliant team to deliver work that’s both strategically sharp and creatively brave.

The successful candidate will be:

• Leading and managing a talented corporate comms team – coaching, inspiring, and setting the bar high.
• Driving growth – spotting opportunities, winning pitches, and expanding relationships with existing clients.
• Providing senior counsel to C-suite and senior stakeholders on reputation, crisis, corporate storytelling, and stakeholder engagement.
• Shaping campaigns that blend strategic insight with creativity, earning attention in the right places.
• Owning delivery – ensuring budgets, timelines, and quality are on point.

Candidate Profile

The agency is looking for someone who has:

• Experience running a corporate comms function in an agency environment.
• A proven track record of building business, growing accounts, and winning new ones.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to bring out the best in a team.
• The confidence and credibility to work with senior client leaders.
• A passion for blending corporate strategy with creative ideas that cut through.

Why This Role Stands Out

• A client list that’s as varied as it gets – from global household names to challenger brands.
• The chance to work across multiple sectors with no pigeonholes.
• A collaborative, creative culture where great ideas fly.
• Real scope to shape the future of a growing corporate team.
