Communication Manager

As Communication Manager you will work on behalf of the Heads of Communication for corporate, various business areas and staff functions and with other communication disciplines including Media Relations, Public Affairs and Brand.  

You will independently drive communication for diverse national and international projects.

Business and Corporate Communication  

We exist to help Vattenfall achieve its business objectives by supporting with the right communication – to enable the fossil freedom that drives society forward. 

The core team consists of 10 members, based in Amsterdam, Berlin, Hamburg, Stockholm and Luleå - all working as communication managers. The extended team also includes the 4 Heads of Communication. 

The Heads of Communication are responsible for specific business areas and are also part of the respective management teams. This way, they closely follow what’s happening businesswise and can take communication topics or projects back to our team, if they need our support. 

On behalf of the Heads of Communication, we lead or support communication topics and projects that are of strategic importance to Vattenfall and the various business areas and that improve Vattenfall's reputation internally and externally. We use our broad network and knowledge of Vattenfall to proactively leverage synergies, identify opportunities and risks and work on solutions.
