Our client is an international brand within the financial services sector and have created a new role of Communications Director to develop and lead a Public Relations strategy. With a current PR team of just two PR executives, our client is looking to invest significantly to grow the team starting with the Communications Director role.

As well as having a strong background in public relations and having an excellent ability to deliver quality communications under significant pressure, the successful candidate will be well versed in the diverse communication channels used to promote brands. One of the major challenges for the appointed candidate will be to develop a strong team beneath them. With a diverse product range, there is a variety of issues that arise on an ongoing basis and the team is not currently structured well enough to deal with them.

The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of engaging with a wide array of stakeholders - from the the general public, to customers, to shareholders. A high quality communicator and presenter, you will have an excellent track record in managing and developing teams in the past. Evidence of having developed and implemented a PR Strategy that achieved measurable objectives will also be highly beneficial.

Although the role will be based in the North East, significant travel to other office locations will be required, especially London on a minimum of a weekly basis with a frequent overnight stay. A superb remuneration package is available for the right candidate.
