</li></ul>Job Context:
As DP World&rsquo;s communications function has scaled and channel-led strategies have been established for senior leaders, there is a growing need to ensure these activities are anchored in clear strategic thought leadership and executive positioning, tailored to each Global C-suite leader while remaining fully aligned to the company&rsquo;s overarching corporate strategy.
With the largest and most visible global speaker bench the organisation has had to date, a dedicated senior leader and specialist team are required to support Global C-suite Executives in delivering high-impact external communications&mdash;particularly across public speaking engagements and LinkedIn, where influence, credibility and consistency are critical.
The role is also essential to professionalising DP World&rsquo;s approach to spokesperson readiness, ensuring leaders and subject-matter experts at all levels are trained, supported and enabled with the right frameworks, tools and governance to represent the business confidently and consistently on global platforms.
DP World currently lacks a formalised Crisis &amp; Issues Communications function, creating an urgent need for a senior leader to establish the strategy, governance, playbooks and operating model required to manage reputational risk effectively. This role will build and embed a global crisis communications capability that enables disciplined, rapid and coordinated responses, protecting the organisation&rsquo;s reputation during high-pressure situations.
The development of strategic, scalable thought leadership IP has to date been inconsistent across the enterprise. To maximise impact, streamline investment and strengthen reputation, clear ownership is required to identify, develop and disseminate insight-led content that can be leveraged across Head Office, Regions and Business Units.
The accelerated expansion of DP World&rsquo;s Government Relations &amp; Public Affairs (GRPA) partnership portfolio, including platforms such as the World Economic Forum, UN General Assembly, B20/G20 and COP, alongside year-round strategic partnerships, demands a senior role to create integrated communications and activation strategies. This includes connecting moments, platforms and narratives; driving clear audience segmentation; and establishing robust measurement frameworks to support GRPA leadership and C-suite engagement with governments and public institutions.
Qualifications, Experience &amp; Skills:
<ul><li>Bachelor&rsquo;s degree and minimum of 10 years of experience in strategic communications
</li><li>A process-driven individual and proven project Director with a positive and proactive approach to everything they do
</li><li>Self-starter who thrives under pressure, can prioritise multiple projects, take the initiative and is driven to achieve results in a dynamic environment
</li><li>The ability and confidence to deal with all levels of the organisation, up to Senior Executives
</li><li>Fast and capable with a strong work and teamwork ethic, attention to detail and a commitment to quality; ability to prioritise effectively and meet tight deadlines
</li><li>Strong interpersonal skills, sensitive to working collaboratively with many different cultures and at different levels
</li><li>Exceptional communicator &ndash; written and oral. Proficient in written and verbal English. Arabic a plus but not a must
</li><li>Strong understanding of media relations, social media and other digital channels, and internal communications is highly beneficial
</li><li>Experience of developing plans and supporting materials for communicating on a crisis on behalf of a global company
</li><li>Knowledge of the industry landscape and understanding of government relations and public affairs is strongly desired
</li><li>Willingness to roll up sleeves and get the work done, no matter how big or small the task
</li><li>Ability to effectively manage and delegate whilst demonstrating clear and concise upward reporting
</li><li>Flexibility with working hours &ndash; DP World is a global company, and some opportunities may be outside regular working hours</li></ul></div>
