We are currently recruiting for a confident, organised and detail‑oriented Communications Co‑ordinator to join our Communications Team. This person will be responsible for supporting across a range of tasks including delivery of internal and external communications materials, using social media to spread Draken’s growth message, assisting the co‑ordination of online and in‑person events, preparing presentations and regular communications reports, and providing day‑to‑day administrative assistance to the busy Communications Team.

We are looking for someone to come onboard to help enable the business to deliver our message effectively across our international operations, helping to build a robust communications infrastructure, including elements such as our website, brand assets, image library and templated materials.

• Monitor competitor/partner activity and flag notable coverage.
• Coordinate internal comms requests, vendor briefs, and approval workflows.
• Support events with asset prep, marketing materials, on‑site comms, and rapid content updates.
• Assist with internal comms admin: formatting all‑hands messages, drafting regular updates, maintaining FAQs, and supporting brand/templating queries.

We are looking for someone with excellent organisation and attention to detail, who is comfortable coordinating with stakeholders of all levels. The ideal person must have a hands‑on, proactive approach to working, taking ownership of their workload and be able to prioritise and drive tasks forward autonomously.

They will ideally also have experience in the following:

• Basic image / presentation / video handling; confident with Canva / Powerpoint
