Brand Programme Manager; FTC)

Job Overview

We are seeking an Employer Brand Programme Manager on a 12-month Fixed Term Contract to help drive the delivery of Arm’s global Employer Brand strategy.

You will work with an experienced team of Employer Brand specialists to turn an established strategy into coordinated, high-quality delivery across global and regional priorities.

• Maintain momentum across major Employer Brand programmes, including careers-site transformation, critical hiring campaigns, regional brand activity, content programmes and other strategic initiatives.
• Coordinate agency and vendor activity where projects span multiple work streams, ensuring external partners are aligned to priorities, timelines and expected outcomes
