About our role: What you’ll be doing

This is a senior operational leadership role within the Corporate Affairs team, reporting to the Director of Corporate Affairs. You will act as the day-to-day lead across all RECCo stakeholder engagement, communications, PR and brand activity, overseeing priorities and developing a team of specialist practitioners and ensuring work is strategically aligned, well-planned and delivered to the highest standards.

We are creating this role at a pivotal point for RECCo. Our programme of work and stakeholder base is growing, and we are moving towards closer, more integrated working with our service providers as we transition to be the REC code manager licensee. At the same time, we are embedding a unified brand and one organisation experience as we prepare for new licensing requirements.

In this role, you will take day-to-day ownership of the operational delivery across engagement, communications, brand, PR, events and stakeholder insight. Over time, the role will continue to develop as RECCo’s responsibilities evolve and as joint ways of working with the Code Manager Service Providers become more embedded.

Your work will have a direct impact on how effectively we engage and learn from our stakeholders, how the market perceives RECCo, and how confidently we step into our evolving role.
