PR Manager (Corporate) – Global Food/Confectionary Company

An exciting and rare opportunity has arisen to join one of the biggest food/confectionary producers in the world as a PR Manager (corporate communications).   

In this role you’ll work across a portfolio of globally recognisable brands with responsibilities including leading the company’s CSR programme, supporting in the execution of corporate brand strategy and managing the corporate Twitter page.

The Company

The story behind this company is inspiring and heart-warming, from its roots as a family owned business to one of the largest, multinational success stories. With a handful of hugely iconic (and delicious) products that you’ll find on the shelves at every supermarket, this company is a major player in the FMCG space.

There is also a strong sense of corporate social responsibility throughout the company: which is focused on the highest quality and innovation, the care for people that have made and are still making the Group’s history, the support of local communities, the promotion of active lifestyles amongst young people as well as its strong engagement towards sustainable agricultural practices and the protection of the environment.

The company HQ is based in London (not always a given with in house roles!) and benefits include a free on-site gym, bonus, private healthcare, generous pension and life assurance.

The Role – PR Manager (Corporate Communications)

In this role, you’ll be a key member of the Corporate Affairs team of six. The brand hasn’t traditionally leant on PR/Communications, however in the last few years has turned its attention towards it. As a result, it’s a great time to be joining a team with increased investment.

Key responsibilities will include project management of the global CSR programme as well as leading the day-to-day social media activity. You’ll provide support on insight led campaigns to effectively communicate the company’s position on sustainability issues and work closely with the Public affairs team to ensure a joined up approach across policy, advocacy, stakeholder outreach, media and channel activity.

About You:

• 4 years + experience in communications gained at an agency or in house on large, global brands
• This is a largely corporate role but consumer candidates will be considered if they have corp-sumer/issues experience
• Some experience of community management is ideal or at least an understanding of relevant content
• Able to manage multiple stakeholders with conflicting priorities
