- Proven experience managing corporate websites and social media platforms
- Strong writing and editing skills, with a focus on digital content
- Familiarity with digital analytics tools and performance metrics
- Understanding of SEO, SEM, and digital best practices
- Experience working in a global or matrixed organisation
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and projects simultaneously
- Collaborative mindset and strong stakeholder engagement skills
- Passion for digital communications and staying ahead of trends
- Degree or equivalent experience in communications, marketing, or a related field

For eligible roles, we also offer short-term incentives to recognise, appreciate and reward your work for delivering outstanding results. You will be rewarded in line with Reckitt's pay for performance philosophy.
