Internal and External Communications Manager in London

This is a newly created role with the opportunity to shape how one of the UK’s leading consumer credit providers is understood by current and prospective colleagues, clients, and the wider market. As Internal and External Communications Manager, you’ll sit at the centre of corporate storytelling, executive communications and employer narrative. You’ll help bring our purpose and priorities to life through clear, compelling communications. From thought leadership on LinkedIn to our corporate website and company-wide communications and events, you will have the opportunity to define strategy and execute it across our range of internal and external channels.

This is a hands‑on strategic role for someone who enjoys variety, thrives in fast‑moving environments and is excited by the opportunity to build. One day you might be shaping executive messaging or developing a content strategy; the next you could be partnering with internal communications to turn colleague stories into compelling external campaigns. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across the business and play a key role in evolving our channels and impact, including exploring AI optimisation to help us operate efficiently and engage audiences more effectively.
