You will be a hands-on people manager, supporting and inspiring your team to pitch and write great stories. You will oversee our websites and social media channels, helping to develop our social strategy. You will play a crucial role in developing our Customer Value Strategy, focusing on newsletters and looking for opportunities to maximise our audience loyalty.
