Job Description

We are looking for a Head of Communications who combines sharp strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You will set the direction, bring clarity to complex priorities, and also jump in where needed, whether refining a narrative, solving a practical bottleneck or supporting leaders with timely communication.

This is a role for someone who loves the business side of communications: understanding clients, strengthening offerings, supporting sales, and ensuring communications create real value. You’ll work globally and across functions, navigating the interconnected areas of marketing communications, external communication, internal communication and change.

We design and deliver solutions across road and rail, public and commercial buildings, hospitals, airports, sports venues, workplaces and urban environments, combining engineering, architecture, advisory services and cross disciplinary expertise.

Key responsibilities

• Drive the divisional communications strategy to strengthen alignment, visibility and commercial impact.
• Partner closely with the Head of Division and leadership teams, offering strategic insight and constructive challenge.
• Lead, coach and support a talented communications team while remaining ready to contribute hands-on when it matters.
• Build and maintain consistent narratives across offerings, markets and channels, ensuring clarity and usability for leaders and teams.
• Shape marketing and sales aligned communications, including campaigns, client-focused content and account-based approaches.
• Coordinate internal and change communications to support understanding, unity and engagement across countries.
• Use insights, analytics and digital tools (e.g., CRM/marketing automation, web analytics, AI supported workflows) to guide decisions and continuously improve.

We at AFRY Management Consulting are committed to accelerating change towards a sustainable world in the interest of future generations. We are passionate about transforming industries and creating value for clients and society. We strongly believe that change happens when exceptional people with brave ideas come together.
