Communications Specialist

Communications Specialists guide the way an organisation communicates with customers, suppliers, shareholders, community stakeholders and employees, as well as the general public. While many Communications Specialists steer the way the business communicates in the public sphere, some of these professionals focus exclusively on internal communication and employee engagement activities.

As a Communications Specialist you could be writing speeches, organising press conferences, meeting with the CEO to develop a national communications plan, organising communications training for key support staff, or developing scripting tools for call centre agents.

It’s an incredibly busy role but you’ll be shaping the way organisations do business and have a real impact on their sales, productivity, and public reputation.
