Purpose of the Role

The Communications Director leads all aspects of the Jobs Foundation’s communications, building our profile, reach and influence across business, politics, media and the wider public.

Working closely with the Chief Executive and President, the role will shape how the Jobs Foundation
presents itself and its ideas to the world. The Communications Director will be the guardian of our
brand and public voice, while constantly identifying opportunities to promote our mission and amplify our work.

This is a strategic and highly hands-on role. We are looking for someone who lives and breathes
communications: equally comfortable advising on positioning, building relationships with senior
journalists or parliamentarians, shaping a major campaign, creating compelling social content or
personally producing excellent copy.
