Want your voice to shape how a global organisation navigates transformation?
This is a rare opportunity for a senior communications leader to take true ownership of a Digital Engineering Services and Solutions function's engagement and communications strategy — and build it from the ground up. You'll sit at the heart of a major technology transformation, working directly with senior leadership, including close, regular exposure to the department's MD, to define the narrative, drive change adoption, and build a department's brand and identity from scratch. This is a permanent, business-critical role, not a project-based engagement — ideal for someone looking to build something lasting rather than move between transformation projects. If you're a confident self-starter who thrives on ownership, strategy and high-stakes stakeholder management, this VP-level role offers genuine scope to make your mark.
