Senior Change Communication Consultant

On behalf of Vattenfall, we are looking for a Senior Change Communication Consultant to shape and guide the communication around a change programme. For the hiring manager, seniority isn't so much about the number of years of experience (at least two), but about who you are and how you work. You hold your own in conversations at senior management level, you have a sharp sense of what matters and what doesn't, and at the same time you're willing to get hands-on and do the work yourself.

The role will be very hands-on at the start and will gradually move towards a more strategic position. It's exactly this combination of executing and advising that makes this assignment challenging.
