Responsibilities include using research tools to scope and shortlist potential influencers and partners; initiating contact; conducting due diligence to ensure appropriateness and responsibility; negotiating terms; and collaborating with Communications colleagues on messaging and outcomes.

You will be central to how Ofcom communicates vital information about online safety, bringing a wide range of people on board and working closely with internal stakeholders to maximize impact.
