Communications and Marketing Lead

Exeter City Council is looking for a Communications and Marketing Lead to continue to transform the way the authority talks with residents, businesses and partners.

Communication is at the heart of everything we do and you will have experience of working across sectors of local government.

Responsible to the Service Lead for Communications, Tourism and Culture, you will be responsible for the implementation of the Council's communications and marketing strategies - putting people and city first.

You will have a degree and/or a minimum of 5 years relevant senior level experience within a communications environment and be an industry expert on how to engage and connect with people.

The successful candidate will also have a proven track record of operating in a media business, with bags of experience of networking and building critical relationships.

You will have experience of crisis communications and bringing out the best in people whilst dealing with sensitive information.

You will also have a track record of turning traditional reactive communications units into proactive ones and delivering multiple message calendars across all channels.

Bringing your expertise of what engages our audience and why, and at what times, will be vital.

With Exeter being one of the best places to live and work in the country, this is a unique chance to be at the forefront of a forward thinking local government authority that strives to create a 'Stronger Exeter' in everything it does.
