About the job

Ready to kick-start your communications career with one of the world's leading hospitality companies? We're looking for a Corporate Communications Executive to join our Europe Corporate Affairs team at IHG's Global Headquarters in Windsor.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career who wants broad, hands-on experience across corporate communications, media relations, internal communications, issues and crisis and events. You'll work alongside experienced communications professionals, support senior leaders and help tell the stories that shape how IHG is seen by employees, hotel owners, partners, media and external stakeholders across Europe.

No two days are the same. One day you could be helping to brief a spokesperson ahead of a media interview, the next supporting a major company event, creating content for a leadership channel, or working with agencies across multiple European markets to secure top tier coverage and build the reputation of IHG. You’ll gain valuable exposure to IHG as a global business with more than one million hotel rooms worldwide, while also getting close to our Europe region, which spans more than 40 countries and nearly 1,000 open hotels. It’s a brilliant opportunity to build the skills and experience to accelerate your communications career.

If you're curious, proactive and ready to learn, we'd love to hear from you.
