The ideal candidate should have previous experience working in a professional services firm, ideally within real estate, construction, built environment space. You should have experience working with partners, managing those relationships effectively, and have expertise in multi-channel communications.

• Promote news and project successes to elevate the company's profile among target audiences.
• Create impactful content, including press releases, blogs, thought leadership pieces, and social media posts, ensuring message consistency and alignment with business priorities.
• Collaborate with the Brand & Comms and Marketing Solutions teams to produce visually engaging digital assets, such as infographics, interactive reports, and videos.

• Exemplify our core values.

Skills and Experience
