Senior Brand Communications Manager

This is not a traditional brand role.

We are looking for a Senior Brand Communications Manager on a 4 month contract to lead how a high-profile consumer brand shows up in the world. This role sits at the centre of everything external, bringing together campaigns, social, PR, influencers, partnerships and brand storytelling into one clear, effective whole.

You will shape the plan, set the direction and make it happen. This is a role for someone who can think strategically, move quickly and stay close to delivery.

The Role

• Lead and structure communications planning across the business

• Create and deliver integrated campaigns that drive both brand and commercial performance

• Connect activity across channels into a cohesive, distinctive brand presence

• Balance long-term brand thinking with short-term trading priorities

• Work closely with multiple teams to land simple, compelling messaging

• Lead agencies and influence stakeholders at all levels

• Stay hands-on, delivering work to a high standard and at pace

What Success Looks Like

• Clear, joined-up communications plans that drive impact

• Campaigns that feel culturally relevant and commercially strong

• A brand that shows up consistently and convincingly across channels

• Strong collaboration across teams and partners

• High-quality delivery in a fast-moving environment

About You

• Proven experience across integrated campaigns, digital, social, PR and influencer

• Strong project manager who can handle pace and complexity

• Creative thinker with commercial awareness

• Comfortable switching between strategy and execution

• Collaborative, low ego and confident working with senior stakeholders

• Energised by variety, pace and ambiguity

Background

• Consumer-facing brands, ideally in retail, hospitality, leisure or lifestyle

• Agency experience welcome

• Experience in fast-paced, lean environments

Not the Right Fit

• Specialists in a single channel

• Highly corporate or process-heavy backgrounds

• Candidates used to large teams and layers of support

• Pure strategists who prefer not to get involved in delivery

If you want a role with real ownership, real pace and the chance to shape how a brand connects with customers, this is it.
