The Person
Opportunities like this rarely come up.  If you are seasoned communications professional and are looking for a part time opportunity with a fantastic business, then this could be for you! Ideally you will have operated within a business in the consumer durables, hardware or construction space and will be a strong writer.  Key to your success will be to quickly understand the dynamics and the culture and bring this to your work, ensuring that the tone of all communications and content reflects not only the brand but the warm, family friendly, non hierarchical culture.  You will be able to work autonomously but will enjoy being part of a large organisation, and will be proactive enough to develop relationships across the business independently.
