Roeks Talent is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a purpose-led national organisation with which we work closely. We are seeking a proactive Communications & Public Affairs Executive to join its Communications and Corporate Affairs team.
This is a varied, hands-on opportunity combining communications, media relations, public affairs, executive profiling and campaign support. You will help strengthen the organisation’s profile and influence, build relationships with political and media stakeholders, and support campaigns connected to its strategic growth.
The role is based at the organisation’s London office, close to Bank. You will normally attend the office two to three days per week, working from home on Mondays, Fridays and alternate Thursdays. Occasional UK travel may be required.
The role
- Reporting to the Director of Communications and Corporate Affairs, you will help deliver the organisation’s communications and engagement strategy. You will also play an important role in developing the CEO’s external profile through social media, media opportunities, speaking engagements, podcasts and thought-leadership content.
- A central part of the position will be producing clear and engaging content. You will draft and edit press releases, articles, blogs, briefings and social media posts, alongside making occasional website updates. You will help plan, schedule and grow the organisation’s social media channels while supporting the CEO’s own social media presence.
- You will monitor the media landscape, analyse relevant coverage and identify opportunities for commentary, interviews and speaking engagements. Drawing on the organisation’s research and insights, you will prepare presentations, speaking notes, articles and briefing materials for the CEO.
- The role will also support the recording, production and promotion of podcasts and other thought-leadership content. This may include coordinating recordings, preparing contributors and briefing materials, and ensuring content reflects the priorities of both the CEO and the wider organisation.
Public affairs
- You will monitor parliamentary and political developments, providing concise analysis and highlighting issues relevant to the organisation’s work.
- You will identify appropriate MPs, government officials, agencies and other stakeholders for key campaigns and policy priorities. Working with external public affairs advisers and the CEO’s office, you will help secure meetings and coordinate the CEO’s political engagement.
- You will also support parliamentary groups, round tables and stakeholder events, including managing invitations, attendance and event logistics.
Campaign and lead-generation support
- Working with colleagues across the organisation, you will help plan and deliver communications and thought-leadership campaigns. You will take a hands-on approach, supporting projects from initial research and planning through to delivery and follow-up.
- You will help ensure that communications and lead-generation activity is accurately recorded in the organisation’s CRM. This will include maintaining contact information, tracking engagement and supporting selected lead-nurturing and new-business follow-ups.
- You will also provide research, data gathering, project coordination and administrative support to the wider communications team when required.
