The Role
We are looking for an experienced hand-on Marketing & Communications Lead to deliver high-profile client programmes spanning digital construction, infrastructure and international markets.

You will take ownership of marketing and communications across one or more client-funded programmes, working directly with clients, governments, international partners and industry to turn complex programme objectives into compelling campaigns and communications.

The role will be primarily embedded within the Digital Construction International Programme (DCIP), where you will lead marketing and communications activity across multiple international markets, working closely with the programme team, client and international partners.

DCIP is a flagship UK government trade programme that brings together governments, infrastructure owners and industry partners worldwide to advance digital construction. By promoting the adoption of international best practice in information management and BIM, the programme supports improved infrastructure outcomes, knowledge exchange and international collaboration.

We are looking for someone who can operate strategically and manage complex stakeholders, whilst also being comfortable with busy hands-on execution.  This role will involve a mix of communications and marketing activity and will require full channel and GTM mix including overall messaging and positioning, digital, events, campaign design, and ABM.

Alongside this programme, you will work across other client-funded programmes within Connected Places Catapult's portfolio, giving you exposure to a range of innovation projects spanning transport, infrastructure and the built environment.

This is a client-facing role. You will build trusted relationships with programme and client stakeholders, provide marketing and communications advice, and personally develop campaigns, messaging and content, taking responsibility for delivery from brief through to execution and evaluation.

As part of Connected Places Catapult's Marketing & Communications team, you will draw on expertise across digital, PR, public affairs, design, content and events to deliver integrated activity for your programmes.
