Head of Corporate Communications, Sustainability and Sponsorship/Events (a)

About the job

A stands not only for AKB, but for all those who work at the attractive Amployer in the canton of Aargau within an open-minded and diverse A work environment. Although numbers are important to us, you are not just a personnel number here. We offer you an interesting role with appreciation for your personality.

Within AKB as well as during the application process, we maintain a respectful and appreciative culture of addressing each other informally. Dare to address us informally.

What to expect

• In this responsible leadership role, you lead and develop a sector currently comprising ten employees in the areas of communication, sustainability, and sponsorship & events. This also includes managing the director of our "Stiftung Lebensraum Aargau" foundation.
• Your responsibilities particularly include: strategic planning and operational management of integrated corporate communications, internal communication support including proofreading and editing, further development and implementation of the integrated strategy for communication, sustainability and sponsorship, and planning and execution of (customer) events for the entire bank.
• Together with your team and in close coordination with the specialist departments, executive management and the bank council, you develop and implement integrated communication measures – from conception to execution. This includes, among other things, the annual report including sustainability and climate reporting.
• As a sparring partner, you support the bank council and the executive president in political and societal matters.

What you bring

• A completed degree and solid further training in communication, media or a related field form the basis of your profile.
• Furthermore, you can demonstrate several years of experience in a demanding communication role – ideally in the financial sector or a publicly listed company. You are also very familiar with handling diverse topics and stakeholders as well as the personnel and lateral management of teams and projects.
• You prepare complex topics appropriately for the target audience with your team and place them effectively through the relevant communication channels.
• With your communicative strength, diplomatic sensitivity and natural persuasiveness, you build trust and move people – even in demanding situations you remain calm and make well-founded decisions.
• A pronounced sense of context and enthusiasm for a broad range of tasks enable you to further develop and position the bank with openness.
• You are well connected in the Swiss media landscape and, thanks to your affinity for the political environment of the canton of Aargau, you navigate confidently in the tension field of different interests.
