Join us and help bring our culture to life

At Moat, we're on an exciting journey. We've launched a new corporate strategy, introduced our Moat Offer, refreshed our website and are preparing to launch a new repairs service. As we continue to evolve, our Communications team are expanding, and we have a number of exciting new roles.

The role

As our Internal Communications Officer, you'll play a key role in delivering high-quality communications that support colleague engagement across the organisation.

You'll create compelling content, support communication campaigns and events, and help maintain our intranet as a trusted source of information. Working closely with teams across the business, you'll ensure important messages are communicated clearly, consistently and effectively.

During your first week, you'll have the opportunity to meet fellow new starters, learn about our organisation, values and strategy, and begin building relationships that will support you throughout your career with us.
