As a Strategic Communications Advisor, you will play a critical role in supporting leading organisations in the (semi-)public sector to achieve successful transformations. Since complex digital transformation processes require behavioural and cultural changes, our client assists its own customers by integrating communication management and program management. As a Strategic Communications Advisor, you will work with clients and programme colleagues to educate employees, stakeholders, and other stakeholders on their organisation's needs.
This requires you to rapidly understand what is going on within complex organisations and among your stakeholders. You grasp the essence of the present vision and strategy and explain the transformations the organisation needs to undergo. You use all of your knowledge, experience, and particularly your creativity to persuade people to support the organisational change.

- You can easily read people and comprehend what drives them and how to connect with them. This can be used to form collaborations, persuade others, or connect people;
