This is a foundational role. You will not be joining a mature communications engine - you will help build it. As WPP Open continues to evolve, our biggest challenge is not awareness, but adoption: helping people understand what is changing, why it matters, and how it affects the way they work. This role exists to make platform change legible, coherent, and actionable at scale. You will partner closely with Product, Technology, Research, and Enablement leaders to translate complex, evolving roadmaps into clear narratives that drive confidence, capability, and behavior change across WPP's global network. The ideal candidate is a strong operator and storyteller - someone comfortable working in ambiguity, setting structure where none exists, and influencing without relying on formal authority.

Develop and execute multi-channel communication & content plans that support platform launches, roadmap evolution, and new ways of working.

Define communication objectives, key messages, and success metrics aligned to product priorities, business outcomes, and adoption goals. Partner closely with Product, Technology, Research, and Enablement leads to shape a clear, credible narrative - often before plans are fully formed. Content Creation & Execution Create and oversee high-quality communication assets, including: platform and roadmap updates feature launch narratives user success stories and case studies leadership talking points FAQs, enablement content, and video scripts Manage an integrated content calendar and delivery cadence, ensuring communications are timely, consistent, and purposeful. Collaborate with design and creative partners to develop visual and interactive assets that improve comprehension and engagement. Ensure messaging is clear, honest, and confidence-building - not promotional or overly technical. Stakeholder Engagement & Advisory Act as a trusted communications advisor to WPP Open leadership, helping shape how change is positioned and discussed. Coach and equip agency leaders and people managers to act as effective champions for WPP Open. Establish feedback loops (e.g., surveys, forums, qualitative inputs) to capture sentiment, identify friction, and continuously refine messaging. Push back constructively on unclear, premature, or misaligned communication requests to protect signal over noise. Measurement & Continuous Improvement Define and track communication effectiveness using adoption-linked metrics, such as feature usage, workflow changes, proficiency signals, and sentiment - not just reach or opens. Provide regular, insight-driven reporting to leadership on what is landing, what isn't, and why. Apply learnings to continuously improve change communication practices as the platform evolves. What you'll need: 7-10+ years of experience in internal communications, change communications, product communications, or a closely related role. Demonstrated experience supporting large-scale technology, platform, or operating-model change within complex organisations. Strong writing, editing, and narrative-building skills, with the ability to simplify complex or ambiguous topics for non-technical audiences. Proven ability to work closely with Product and Technology teams, translating evolving roadmaps into clear, actionable messaging. Comfort operating in fast-moving, matrixed, and often ambiguous environments - with the judgment to prioritize and say no. Experience defining success metrics and using data and feedback to refine communication strategies. Formal change management training or certification (e.g., Prosci) is highly desirable. Experience with AI-powered platforms, marketing operating systems, or digital transformation initiatives is a strong plus.
