Change Communication Manager
Initial 12-month contract
Slough or Ashby‑de‑la‑Zouch, with some UK travel to other sites
We operate a dynamic working model built on trust, choice and balance. Colleagues typically connect in person 3 days per week, as we know the best ideas and relationships grow when we collaborate side by side.
We also offer Dynamic Friday Hours, giving colleagues the opportunity to flex their time and finish early on a Friday, where the role allows.
We’re embarking on Project One – a major ERP transformation designed to standardise and simplify our processes and system. This is one of the most significant change programmes KP Snacks has ever undertaken, and it will touch every part of our business – from our head office to our seven manufacturing sites.
To help make this a success, we’re looking for an experienced Change Communication Manager. You’ll play a key role in shaping and delivering the communication strategy that brings colleagues with us on this journey – building understanding, engagement, and confidence in the new ways of working.
What’s in it for you?
We believe in rewarding our colleagues and helping them thrive. Here’s a flavour of what we offer:
* Annual salary of up to £60,000 depending on experience.
* Annual bonus scheme, with a strong track record of overachievement
* £6,000 car cash allowance.
* Comprehensive healthcare support – including Medicash Health Cash Plan or Private Healthcare, Digital GP, Best Doctors second opinion service and specialist cancer care
* KP Pension Plan – contribution matching up to 7% of your salary
* 25 days holiday, plus the option to buy more
* KP4ME – our online platform for benefits, discounts, wellbeing tools and more
What will you be doing?
* Design and deliver a clear, consistent communication strategy and plan for Project One.
* Tailor messaging for different audiences across sites, functions and roles.
* Create engaging content and templates, and manage a central communications library.
* Use a mix of channels – including SharePoint, our employee portal (KP4ME), digital screens and more – to reach colleagues effectively.
* Partner with Change Managers, HR, and Change Ambassadors to roll out campaigns during key project phases (Plan, Walkthroughs, Build, Testing, Cutover and Post Go Live).
* Capture colleague feedback, celebrate successes, and ensure our communication approach evolves as the programme progresses.
Who are we?
We’re KP Snacks, part of the Intersnack family. Across more than 30 countries, over 15,000 of us work together to make the snacks people love – from Hula Hoops to McCoy’s. In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.
We’re committed to inclusion
We’re building a workplace where everyone belongs. If you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you – your unique perspective could be just what we need. And if there’s anything we can do to make the process easier for you, just let us know.
We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:
* Strong internal communications experience
Ideally within a large‑scale change environment; ERP experience is a bonus but not essential
* A track record of planning, delivering and evaluating communication campaigns
With the ability to translate complex information into clear, simple and engaging content
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Able to adapt your style to suit different audiences
* Experience using multiple channels to reach colleagues effectively
And confidence designing communication that is inclusive, visual and accessible
* The ability to build strong working relationships at all levels
Working collaboratively and empathetically, with a real understanding of the people side of change
