The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced communications professional to play a key role within our strategic change programmes at University of the Arts London (UAL). 

As Change Communications and Engagement Manager, you will create, coordinate and deliver communications plans for UAL’s strategic change programmes. You will draft and review informative and people-centred communications content for the programmes, ensuring they are aligned with the overarching university change narrative.

You will work with a range of internal and senior stakeholders, advising leaders from across UAL on employee engagement and communications opportunities. This will involve building relationships with a variety of individuals, providing effective guidance on change communications and engagement activities, and identifying key strategic change and communications opportunities.  

This role is based at High Holborn, but is part of the wider Communications community at UAL. As a community, we are embarking on a transformation programme to become a single university-wide team which will improve the reach and impact of our communications.

About you

As an accomplished creative, you will provide:

  • Experience of leading communications for significant change programmes, using a range of channels and techniques to monitor how people react to your communications.
  • Experience of understanding your audience, gaining insight and getting feedback to ensure your communications are relevant, credible and persuasive.
  • Experience of supporting senior leaders and change champions by developing effective communications and engagement plans.

We are seeking a highly organised and innovative individual who possesses a keen attention to detail and excellent problem-solving abilities. You will have strong digital, verbal, and written communication skills, capable of telling compelling stories and creating a significant impact through your communications. 

Additionally, you will be adept at establishing solid working relationships with a broad spectrum of internal and senior stakeholders. You must be able to collaborate effectively with various teams across diverse professional disciplines.

If you have any queries about this role or need any reasonable adjustments for your application, please contact Twinkle Brahmbhatt, Senior Resourcing Adviser via email at SocialPurposestaffrecruitment@arts.ac.uk.

Our recruitment process involves: Application, Shortlisting, Interview and Assessment, Offer, Onboarding.

We understand the benefits of using AI in work. But, if you are thinking of using it to submit an application, we ask you to think about what value it adds.
