Manage and execute communications projects from planning through delivery, ensuring activities are completed on time and to a high standard.
Coordinate PR campaigns, announcements, and communications initiatives across multiple markets and stakeholder groups.
Draft and support the development of press releases, media materials, key messages, briefing documents, and communications plans.
Produce, publish, and measure content across external and internal communications channels, including LinkedIn and internal employee communications platforms.
Manage relationships with agency partners and external suppliers, ensuring effective project delivery and reporting.
Respond to media enquiries, support proactive media engagement, and oversee media monitoring and reporting.
Support executive visibility programs, including preparing briefing materials for senior leaders and speaking engagements.
Partner with communications colleagues across Europe to localize and implement regional communications initiatives.
Contribute to issues management, reputation management, and crisis preparedness activities.
Track, measure, and report communications outcomes and performance metrics.
Support governance, planning, and budget administration processes where required.
Maintain communications calendars, project plans, and stakeholder alignment across multiple ongoing initiatives.
We are operating a hybrid working model, with the expectation 3 days per week in the Stockholm office.

Be highly organized, structured, and detail-oriented, with a strong track record of managing multiple communications projects and deadlines simultaneously.
