Head of Communications (042020-158)

Our new Head of Communications will play a leading role in how we tell our distinctive story to a range of audiences, developing the reputation of Birmingham City University as a place to study and an institution making a significant impact on the city, region and beyond.

Overseeing the work of our communications remit, you will direct our ambitious External Relations activities and lead our increasingly innovative Internal Communications team, which oversees both staff and student communications. You will take an active role in developing our research communications activity, as well as overseeing the launch of a new alumni relations strategy.

Reporting to the Deputy Director of Marketing and Communications, you will work closely with our Vice-Chancellor’s Office, promoting the University’s leadership externally and internally. You will also play a crucial role in how we support our Chancellor, Sir Lenny Henry, in his work with the University. 

You will maintain our increased focus on public affairs, promoting links with key political, business and higher education figures, and ensuring BCU is at the heart of major developments across the region, including the Commonwealth Games, coming to Birmingham in 2022.
