CarFinance247 is looking for a Head of Communications to lead and shape our communications strategy during an exciting period of transformation. Monday to Friday, offering a salary of up to £70,000 depending on experience
This is a rare opportunity to build an in-house communications function from the ground up and shape the narrative of one of the UK's leading automotive finance businesses. As Head of Communications, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our evolution from a traditional broker into a technology-led platform.
Reporting to the Managing Director, you will work closely with the CEO and Board of Directors, acting as a trusted adviser on communications strategy, reputation, leadership positioning and organisational change. You will own the framework, strategy and delivery approach, partnering with specialist agencies where required rather than inheriting an established model.
A key part of the role will be defining, embedding and championing the company's tone of voice, ensuring a clear, consistent and authentic identity across external communications, leadership messaging, internal engagement and brand storytelling.
You will be responsible for:
• Developing and delivering the communications strategy that supports our transformation and strengthens our market position.
• Defining and evolving the organisation's tone of voice, creating clear guidelines that reflect our values, ambitions and technology-led future.
• Raising the profile of the business and its leadership team through earned media, thought leadership and strategic storytelling.
• Creating data-led PR campaigns that leverage our unique insight into the UK car finance market.
• Leading internal and change communications to keep colleagues informed, engaged and aligned with business priorities and values.
• Managing agency relationships, setting clear briefs and holding partners accountable for commercial outcomes.
• Building a communications approach that reflects the changing landscape of search, discoverability and AI-driven information consumption.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys creating, influencing and building capability rather than managing a large internal team.
