Job description

Ever read a headline and thought you could have told that story better? Now's your chance.

If you love being close to the news agenda and turning complicated business stories into something people want to read, this is a chance to do it on a global stage. The role covers media relations, executive communications, social media and corporate responsibility, all aimed at helping people understand and trust IHG.

This role will be based in our global HQ in Windsor.

Your day-to-day

Working closely with the Senior Manager, Global External Corporate Communications, you’ll:

  • Tell the story of IHG’s strategy, purpose and ambition to the outside world

  • Support communications for our CEO, Executive Committee and PLC, including financial results, corporate reporting and speaking engagements

  • Lead external communications for our Global Corporate Responsibility team and our Journey to Tomorrow plan

  • CEO LinkedIn, from strategy and content to reporting, as well as supporting other senior leaders.

  • Be part of our press office, handling media enquiries on a proactive or reactive basis

  • Help manage global crisis communications and protect our reputation

  • Expect to pull together communications plans and projects across our regions and teams, write clear briefings for senior leaders, and keep an eye on the news and emerging issues so the right people know what’s happening. Alongside that, you’ll work with our communications agencies and keep the global external communications calendar on track.

What we need from you

A background in an in-house communications team, an agency or a mix of both means you already know how a busy communications function runs.

We’re also looking for:

  • Excellent written and spoken communication skills, an eye for detail and good judgement on how different audiences will read your words

  • Experience working in a global “matrixed” organisation with lots of moving parts and teams to bring along

  • Confidence working with senior leaders and a good sense of the communications support they need

  • Experience building strategy and content for company and/or senior leader LinkedIn channels

  • Experience of communicating around corporate responsibility topics and issues

  • A creative approach to content matters too, as does a genuine interest in the news and how communications is changing. We adapt our content for different audiences and channels, and we use different tools such as Canva, so experience with creative tools like these will serve you well.

Ready to apply?

If you’re curious about what’s happening in the world and comfortable working with senior leaders, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and bring your external communications experience to IHG’s global team.

Closing date for applications Tuesday 17th November 2026
