- Lead internal employee communications across EMEA, including producing the monthly Burson Beatnewsletter and updating content on Being Burson, the intranet platform.
- Own the planning and delivery of EMEA Town Halls in close partnership with the EMEA CEO and leadership team, managing agendas, speaker prep, presentation content, employee Q&A, logistics, and post-event comms.
- Develop and execute strategic internal communications plans supporting core business priorities, leadership announcements, organizational updates, culture rollouts, and major industry events like Cannes Lions.
- Drive culture, employee engagement, and EVP initiatives across EMEA, leading internal recognition programs, managing annual culture moments, and actively representing comms on community groups such as B4BEX, AI Enablement, and UK Culture Activation.
- Support local market marcoms champions across EMEA, ensuring alignment between regional and global marketing strategies while partnering with senior leaders to deliver clear, consistent messaging
Experience that contributes to success:
- Proven track record in B2B marketing, external brand building, and internal communications within a PR, strategic communications, or creative agency environment.
- Previous experience in integrated marketing communications, digital campaign management, and corporate employee engagement initiatives.
- Deep operational understanding of digital marketing channels, corporate intranet CMS platforms (Being Burson), employee newsletter production, and campaign analytics.
- Demonstrated ability to operate effectively across multiple countries, cultures, and time zones, aligning diverse stakeholders toward common regional deadlines and business priorities.
- Exceptional communications skills, with written and verbal mastery in translating strategic executive priorities into clear, engaging content for diverse internal and external audiences.
