Are you passionate about storytelling and bringing a brand's voice to life?
OneSchool Global has a fantastic opportunity for a Regional Communications Manager to join our team!
Playing a pivotal role in shaping how OneSchool connects with our audiences, both inside and outside the company, this newly created full time and permanent role can be based at our Regional Support Office in Warwick or from home / remote working.
The Regional Communications Manager is an important member of the broader OSG Communication team, tasked with building and growing the OSG brand internally and externally, with a specific focus on the UK region.
Responsible for developing and executing on the ground regional communication activities, fostering positive employee experience and engagement, supporting external marketing activities to attract high performing talent, and driving consistency across all brand touch points – the Regional Communications Manager is a versatile communicator with experience in broad aspects of communications, including internal communications, content creation and stakeholder engagement.
Here’s how you’ll make your mark:
* Uncover stories that need to be told: Working across the UK business, you’ll dig deep to find the hidden gems - the stories that are just waiting to be shared to elevate our brand in the market. Whether it’s a team member’s unique career journey, our student’s success, or a behind-the-scenes look at our company culture, you’ll bring these stories to the forefront, sharing them with both our internal team and the wider world.
* Drive seamless processes and governance: We’re looking for a systems-thinker who can identify and execute opportunities to improve processes and platforms, so that we can communicate more effectively. You’ll partner with the Global Communications team to develop guidelines, governance frameworks, templates and best practices to streamline communication efforts and uphold our brand standards.
* Elevate change communications: You’ll lead communication efforts during times of change, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed and engaged. Crafting clear and compelling messages that explain the reasons for change, the benefits and the impact on various audiences, your role will be crucial in managing the narrative and supporting a smooth transition.
* Coordinate engaging events and promotions: Plan and execute events that promote our brand and engage our audience. From employee webinars to recruitment outreach programs, you’ll ensure every event is well-organised and impactful. Your attention to detail and organisational skills will be key to our success.
This is a great opportunity for a Communication Manager to advance their career.
You’ll be working with a dynamic, experienced, and strategically oriented Global Comms team with big ambitions. Valued by the organisation as a trusted business partner, this team supports you in driving and owning the UK region’s comms and marketing initiatives under the guidance of the UK Managing Director.
