What the job involves

As Communications Planning Manager you’ll be reviewing all incoming internal communications briefs, ensuring they have clear objectives, audiences, and timelines, and are aligned to organisational priorities and goals. You’ll be responsible for leading as well as updating, when necessary, our briefing and communications team process.

You’ll be responsible for workflows across the communications directorate, having oversight of capacity, prioritising and scheduling work accordingly.

We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace that represents, and can advocate for, the communities we support.

It’s our ambition to become an anti-racist organisation, and our mission to advance racial equity in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

About the ITF

The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) is at the forefront of building power for transport workers globally. The affiliate-led global union federation is recognised as the world’s leading transport authority. It is the collective voice for 20 million transport workers across the world.

We work for a world where workers are treated equally – with dignity and respect. We fight passionately to improve working lives, connecting approximately 700 trade unions from 147 countries to secure rights, equality and justice for our members.

The ITF is head-quartered in London, with offices in Abidjan, Amman, Geneva, Hong Kong, Montreal, Nairobi, New Delhi, Panama, Rio de Janeiro, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.

About the team

The ITF Communications Team works decisively to elevate global issues and drive collective action to improve the rights of all transport workers.

The Communications Department is pivotal for leading strategic thinking around communications across the ITF’s industrial sections, our regions and key areas of focus including women and young transport workers, through to sustainability, health and safety, future of work and supply chain accountability.

You’ll join an expanding team committed to discovering, testing and pushing the envelope for worker- and people-driven change ― working to advance the ITF’s current strategic directions:

· To grow and activate our membership.

· To position the ITF at the forefront of innovative campaigning.

· To influence global and regional policy.

The team sets and delivers the creative and strategic vision for communications strategy, digital engagement, content production, design, branding, media relations and building stronger networks and collaboration with our affiliated unions.

About the role

This hands-on role will lead the implementation of global communications strategies for ITF’s Land and

Air Sections (LAS): Aviation, Railways, Road Transport, Tourism and Urban Transport.

The LAS Communications Manager will work closely with the industrial sections and affiliates to push forward a union-led agenda for the aviation and inland transport industries.

Working within a multi-disciplinary team, this role will work collaboratively to deliver and evaluate forward-thinking communication strategies for these industrial work programs and their priority campaigns. The role will include targeting diverse audiences including transport workers in the industries, employers, allies, media, policy makers, political leaders and the wider public. The role will also play a crucial role in ensuring that section’s industrial priorities and issues are reflected and integrated in organisation-wide communications priorities and areas of focus.

Fundamental to this role will be an ability to develop expert knowledge and keep on top of policy and industrial issues facing aviation, railway, road transport, tourism and public transport workers, and effectively interpret and analyse the complex issues and challenges into communications strategies that advance workers’ rights.

You will be part of delivering solidarity and support to local, national and global disputes, building communications that reinforce the critical role transport workers in the land and air industries play, developing strategies to support union-led policies on everything from health and safety to sustainability, and raising the volume on the global struggle to advance the rights and equalities of the world’s transport workers.

We are looking for someone who is a natural leader. Someone who is able to develop, manage and maintain strong relationships and operate in a politically charged environment. Someone who has a growth mindset, thinks globally, works with a relational approach, is receptive to feedback, actively values diversity, and who acts with integrity and transparency.

If you want to wake up every day thinking how to develop and implement communication strategies that effectively improve the lives and livelihoods of workers, we invite you to apply.

The ITF offers a highly attractive salary, leave entitlement and benefits package for our employees including a generous pension scheme, flexible working arrangements and the opportunity for international travel.
