Interim Head of Corporate Communications, London
- Location: London
- Salary: £150,000-£165,000
- Type: Interim
- Specialism: Interim, Corporate Communications, Financial Communications
- Posted: 27th Apr 2026
We’re looking for a brilliant senior practitioner to step in as Head of Corporate Communications and shepherd a listed business through a period of significant change.
Who you’ll be:
You’ll need to feel at home in classic interim circumstances – plenty of moving parts, significant projects on the to-do list and a talented team that needs a steady hand. Experience in listed environments – whether in the UK or overseas markets – is a must here, as is a demonstrable record of pulling the strings on the financial calendar.
You’ll need to be the sort of seasoned pro who is equally adept in the boardroom as you are on the shop-floor while a nack both for absorbing pressure and inspiring teams will be hugely helpful.
Where you’ll be & what you’ll earn:
Our client has a major London office so you’ll need to spend some time onsite and be available almost immediately but certainly from early June. Options to work on a day-rate are possible but it’s more likely this assignment will operate as a Fixed-Term Contract (FTC) with a salary in the £150,000-£165,000 range.
Ready to step in?
This is a great opportunity for a high-quality contractor to jump straight into the engine room of a major, international business with significant plans on the near horizon.
