Liverpool City Region Combined Authority

Director of Strategic Communications and Corporate Affairs

The Liverpool City Region is world-famous for its history, culture, and creativity. A place of firsts, it is the birthplace of modern railways, public health, and international trade. Now, our economy is being transformed once again, changing the world through world-leading innovation in health and life sciences, digital and creative, and advanced manufacturing - growing an economy already worth £35 billion a year.

The Combined Authority plays a central role in catalysing this innovation-led economy. We are seizing the unique opportunity to use our devolved powers and funding to create wealth and prosperity for all our 1.6 million residents and the whole UK - investing in our economy, people, place, transport and digital infrastructure.

The Liverpool City Region has an inspiring story to tell, and we need a visionary communications leader to enable us to tell it far and wide.

You'll bring the creativity, diplomacy, drive and expertise to connect us with audiences from our local communities to our businesses and institutions, from national government to international investors. And you'll bring a strong track record of delivering results in a similar role, ideally in a complex, politically driven organisation.

This pivotal role will provide strategic leadership to our work to build reputation and influence, overseeing communications, marketing, public affairs - including government relations - and the Chief Executive's and Mayor's offices.
