Communications Manager - 12 months FTC with ref.

Job description

Come lead our awesome in-house agency and take service delivery to the next level

·        12 month maternity contract — generous benefits

·        Multiple brands, huge variety, lots going on

·        Lead, innovate, improve and keeping things ticking

Our amazing Nikki is heading off on maternity leave, so we need an enthusiastic, hands-on, multi-tasker to step into her shoes over the next year. We’re super proud of our in-house agency and the work they do, so fit is going to be everything!

But first, let’s tell you a bit about us. We’re an inspiring, innovative Group of companies (and brands!), that have been changing the lives and careers of Kiwis of all ages over the last 25 years. Change is a constant in our world, with new company acquisitions, new brands to  supercharge and new business initiatives to support.

So if you like juggling multiple priorities, projects and expectations — you’re going to love it here. Things are full-on, but you’ll be leading a talented bunch of people who are experts in their field and know how to get on with it. You’ll also have the support of a fab GM, who has high expectations in terms of service delivery to the Group, but is all about autonomy and letting others shine.

As the team operates as an in-house agency to a number of different companies, relationships are really important. You’ll need to build trust quickly and impress with your strategic thinking, creative approach and, most importantly, ability to deliver on time, within budget and to our high standards.

In addition to leading the creative output and ensuring the consistency of all our brands, you’ll also pitch in with copywriting, content development and lead all our digital campaigns. Which means you need to be a bit of a guru in this space.

A commercially astute and seasoned communications manager, you’ll have solid brand, channel, campaign and team leadership experience — possibly gained in an agency environment. Either way, you’ll be very familiar with managing and deploying creative resources, internally and externally. Your ability to strategise, plan and organise while mentoring the team, managing the workflow and taking a hands-on approach will also be crucial.

Join us and you can look forward to being part of a fun, passionate and innovation-focused team, flexible hours, a competitive salary, and generous benefits including 5% KiwiSaver contribution, fuel and other discounts, insurance, birthday leave, and much more.

So if you’re that capable pair of hands we’re looking for over the next year and have awesome attitude to boot, please apply online to Annie O’Keefe today!
