There's never been a better time to join us!
As our Communications Lead, you will shape and build our internal and external communications across a broad range of initiatives.
A specialist role dedicated to building, engaging, and connecting the "One AG Barr" community culture, you will predominantly (approximately 80%) focus on our internal audience - owning the strategic execution of the internal events calendar and orchestrating rich internal content streams to drive employee engagement - the remaining portion of the role is externally facing. In this capacity, you will play a key supportive role in assisting the Head of Communications with external media, sponsorship and product placement enquiries and crisis communications.
Acting as the delivery lead for corporate charity partnerships and internal communications channels (including Fizz and digital screen networks), this role transitions the company from basic "broadcast" updates to highly dynamic, strategic community-building. This position relies heavily on internal channel data to continually adjust strategies, maximise reach, and provide operational and reputation support to the wider Communications function.
AG Barr has been quenching the nation’s thirst for over 145 years and is home to some of the UK’s most loved drinks brands.
At our core is our soft drinks business, home to some of the UK’s most loved soft drinks. Whether it’s the iconic IRN-BRU, launched in 1901 and still going strong today, the vibrant RUBICON fruit based brand or the unique range of BARR flavours, we brighten people’s lives with refreshingly different drinks.
And we’re growing, thanks to some exciting acquisitions in recent years, including the functional drinks brand Boost, FUNKIN which operates in the exciting and growing cocktail market and MOMA, which crafts quality oats into great tasting oat drinks and porridges.
We are about being brilliant. We are always learning. We are results driven and relationships matter to us.
We believe in creating a diverse and inclusive culture where your voice can be heard. Our skilled, loyal and committed people are critical to the future success of AG Barr which is why we are continually investing in our employees to develop their talent.
We have a growth mindset - and our people are what sets us apart.
