Title:  Communications Business Partner

Are you an experienced communications professional who enjoys turning complex business priorities into clear, engaging communications that bring people with you?

We’re looking for a Communications Business Partner to join the LKQ Communications team, partnering with senior leaders and key functions across our UK&I and European business.

This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll act as a trusted communications advisor, helping to shape how we communicate business priorities, transformation and change. You’ll work across countries, functions and stakeholder groups to create communications that build understanding, strengthen engagement and help colleagues connect with what’s happening across the organisation.

As Communications Business Partner, you’ll take ownership of communication strategies and plans for key areas of the business. Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and delivering strategic communication plans aligned to business priorities, transformation programmes and functional objectives.
• Creating engaging and scalable communications that make complex information clear, relevant and easy to understand.
• Partnering with senior stakeholders and functional leaders, advising them on messaging, communication approaches and colleague engagement.
• Supporting transformation and change initiatives through structured communications, stakeholder alignment and leadership engagement.
• Working closely with regional communications colleagues and functional teams across Europe to ensure joined-up messaging and share best practice.
• Supporting senior leadership communications, including town halls, presentations, leadership cascades and executive messaging.
• Helping to maintain consistent, high-quality communication standards across a complex, multinational organisation.

You’ll be an experienced communications professional who is comfortable operating at both a strategic and hands-on level.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Previous experience in internal and/or external communications within a large, fast-paced or complex organisation.
• Experience working in a multinational or matrix environment, partnering with stakeholders across different countries and functions.
• Confidence working with and influencing senior leaders.
• The ability to take complicated business, organisational or transformation topics and turn them into clear, engaging communications for different audiences.
• Experience supporting change, transformation or employee engagement initiatives.
• Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills.
• The ability to adapt quickly, manage competing priorities and remain effective in an evolving business environment.
• A degree or equivalent experience, ideally within communications or a related discipline.
• Fluency in written and spoken English.

Experience of change management methodologies or delivering high-impact employee engagement initiatives across diverse audiences would be particularly valuable.

This is an opportunity to play an influential role within a large and diverse European organisation, working closely with senior stakeholders and helping colleagues understand and engage with some of the business's most important priorities.

You’ll join a collaborative communications team where your expertise, ideas and ability to challenge and advise will be valued, with the opportunity to make a visible impact across the organisation.

If you’re a strategic communicator who enjoys building relationships, simplifying complexity and helping organisations navigate change, we’d love to hear from you.
