Team Managers – Communications and Marketing

Here at Walsall Council, we are doing things differently and have an ambition to transform our approach to communications and marketing. Over the coming months, we’ll be launching a new communications and marketing strategy and we’re looking to recruit two Team Managers in our team to be part of this new journey.

Team Manager – Staff Engagement & Marketing Operations - Ref: RT01726

G11: £53,051 - £56,293 per annum.

We are also advertising a Team Manager - Campaigns & Marketing - please note there is a separate advertisement and application process for this.

This role will shape and deliver the Council’s internal communications and staff engagement approach, helping to strengthen organisational culture and improve the employee experience. You will lead a varied team, oversee the Print and Design service, and work closely with senior leaders and internal partners to deliver creative, inclusive and insight-led internal communications. You will drive continuous improvement, oversee performance and budgets, and ensure the service delivers efficiently and in line with the organisation’s needs.

Both managers will become an important part of our talented Communications and Marketing team, leading and developing colleagues while building strong relationships both internally and externally.

Our values are at the heart of everything we do at Walsall Council. We are therefore looking for collaborative and solution-focused managers who can demonstrate a passionate commitment to living the values through their previous work. You will inspire creativity, develop others and deliver excellent work in a busy communications environment. If you are ready to make a real difference, we would like to hear from you.
