Great communications are essential to achieving our collective vision for the next decade a thriving city region where everyone can live a good life. Our communications team plays a critical role in connecting people, sharing stories, and celebrating our progress as we deliver for our communities. Your Role Reporting to the Assistant Director of Communications and Engagement, you'll be responsible for joined-up corporate communications for both Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and an overall 'group' of organisations also including Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service (GMFRS) and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). You'll build trusted relationships with colleagues of all levels across the 'group', leading your own GMCA and 'group' team and collaborating with communications and engagement teams from TfGM and GMFRS to develop and deliver impactful, coordinated stakeholder and internal communications that support the Greater Manchester Strategy. This includes playing a key role in developing, launching and embedding a new Organisational Development Strategy to realise the full potential of effective working across our three organisations. To do this, you'll work closely with the Group Chief Executive's office and other senior leaders to deliver coherent and impactful activity that engages our colleagues and fosters support among our key local, regional and national stakeholders. Who are we? You'll be based in the Communications team at Greater Manchester Combined Authority. We're made up of the ten Greater Manchester councils and the Mayor. We work with other local services, businesses, communities and other partners to make Greater Manchester a better place for all. But you'll also work closely day-to-day with TfGM and GMFRS, ensuring our communications are reflective of and coordinated across the 'group' and aligned with the Mayor and Group Chief Executive's priorities. What you'll bring We're looking for a positive and conscientious communications and engagement leader with substantial experience of mentoring brilliant teams in a complex, high profile environment. You'll have a track record of leading the development and delivery of internal and stakeholder communications and engagement strategies, with evidence of how they have built awareness, advocacy, trust and confidence in your organisation and enabled colleagues to thrive. An excellent manager of relationships both within and outside of your organisation, you'll be able to take a strategic view of priorities and then lead your immediate team, other communications and engagement colleagues from across our three organisations and counterparts from our external partners to bring them to life together. You'll also be comfortable working with and providing communications advice to senior leaders. You'll be a highly organised planner, with careful attention to detail and the ability to spot and respond to opportunities and risks for communicating the delivery of Greater Manchester's ambitions. A key part of the role will be taking a broad view of what is going on across the 'group' and ensuring we're telling a coherent story. Therefore, you'll need to be curious about different policy areas and highly collaborative, working with multiple stakeholders to deliver on shared goals. If you're ready to help us deliver Greater Manchester's vision, we'd love to hear from you. For an informal conversation about the role, please contact martin.sainsburygreatermanchester-ca.gov.uk .
