[Hiring] Fractional Senior Communications Consultant @Lucanet Group

Role Description

As a Fractional Senior Communications Consultant at Lucanet, you deliver most of our day-to-day internal and external communication. This lets our Strategic Communications function put its foundations in place: processes, structures and clear ways of working. The project runs for 3 to 6 months and is delivered remotely. Occasional collaboration in Berlin is welcome but not required.

• Collaborate with Marketing teams on website, campaigns, brand and events.
• Work with the People team on change and people-related topics.
• Engage with Sales, Professional Services and other customer-facing teams on corporate topics.
• Coordinate with agencies and external partners on briefings and coordination.
• Executive content is coordinated through the Strategic Communications function.
• Look for people who keep growing, take real ownership, and lift the people around them.

Qualifications

• Proven change and internal communication delivery in a scale-up or PE-backed company, ideally across agency and in-house settings.
• Excellent written English.
• Media relations experience.
• Confidence with senior stakeholders, including holding the line on deadlines and sign-offs.
• Proven discretion with confidential people and organisational topics.
• Independent delivery with minimal briefing, backed by strong project management skills.

Requirements

• Expected scope: around 12 to 14 days per month, with flexibility in peak periods, to be agreed in the contract.
• Duration: 3 to 6 months, with a scope review after the first three months.
• Approval: deliverables on external, executive and confidential topics are approved by Lucanet before release.
• Confidentiality: an NDA is part of the contract.
• Start: we provide an initial briefing on context, channels and key stakeholders.

Benefits

• Own the regular internal newsletter end to end: content planning, writing, sign-off, distribution and performance tracking.
• Deliver change communications for defined initiatives with People and other stakeholders: key messages, manager cascade packs, sequencing plans, follow-up.
• Coordinate internal stakeholders: create briefings, keep deadlines and sign-offs on track and manage incoming requests.
• Draft press releases and media statements and support media relations on corporate topics, alongside our agency.
• Create key messages, customer letters and FAQs on corporate announcements for customer-facing teams, including Sales and Professional Services.
• Advise the talent team on employer branding positioning.
• Help build the function’s foundations, for example by setting up the editorial calendar.
• Support leadership communication as capacity allows.
• Collaborate with the Strategic Communications function on briefings and priorities.
