We have an exciting opportunity for a Communications Executive to join our Communications Team in the lead up to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and beyond.

We are looking for a bright, creative, and hardworking individual with experience in external communications, media relations, or public relations. You will be adept at writing high quality press releases and working with journalists, as well as providing effective copy for use across a range of digital channels. You will be familiar with media monitoring systems, such as Kantar or Gorkana, and have the expertise to interpret monitoring data effectively. Ideally, you will also have experience of working with external agencies and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. Possessing composure under pressure, you will be organised and quick to learn, and in return will benefit from a lively working environment that provides amazing opportunities.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated, and positive individual, with a desire to achieve the highest possible standards for themselves, the organisation, and for the wider triathlon community. You will be capable of prioritising your workload to adhere to strict deadlines and to succeed under pressure. The successful candidate will collaborate effectively as part of a team but also perform well unsupervised, using their own initiative. Whilst passion for the role is vital, prior knowledge of triathlon is not essential.

Successful working relationships are key to any role and our new Communications Executive will report into the Head of Communications. You will be an integral and valued member of the Digital Transformation and IT Team, working within the Marketing Team, and are likely to thrive through developing and maintaining close working relationships with our Performance, Development, and Membership teams.

The role will benefit from our successful hybrid working model, where Tuesday to Thursday all colleagues work from our Loughborough head office, providing a supportive, collaborative, and fun working environment, and flexible working on Mondays and Fridays, working from home as work commitments allow.

British Triathlon offers a competitive benefits package that includes:

• 25 days annual leave, increasing with length of service, enhanced with a flexible holiday buying scheme
• A commitment to your development, with weekly and monthly time ringfenced for personal and collaborative learning and development
• 2 days paid volunteer leave
• Free and accessible parking outside the Loughborough head office and secure covered bike storage
• Pension scheme, life assurance scheme, and private medical insurance to care for you and your loved ones
• Support for a healthy lifestyle, including discounted gym membership and a cycle to work scheme

British Triathlon is passionate about developing an environment that makes Britain the world’s leading triathlon nation, enabling success and increasing participation. We’re looking for people that can bring skills and ambition to an inclusive, people-centred workplace, who are determined to create positive impact, and who value doing what’s right above doing what is expected.
