Underpinning this successful growth is an ambition and commitment to become one of the UK’s leaders in port sustainability and achieve carbon neutral status by 2030, through industry-leading initiatives such as Sea Change, our shore power project which will go live in 2025.

This is a key role in driving Portsmouth International Port’s professional communications service forward, so you should be able to grasp tasks quickly and be able to work across multiple projects simultaneously, have excellent organisational skills, and be unafraid to fail.

As you will be dealing with senior colleagues and members of the public a professional attitude is a must, as is the dynamism that will enable to you adapt to different and changing situations.

You will have:

• Proven marketing communications and/or customer service experience, either through work or education, and an understanding of what marketing, communications and PR are and what professionals in the industry do.
• Excellent organisational and administrative skills that will enable you to work effectively and efficiently across multiple projects and support the team in their wide-ranging work.
• Confidence to get stuck in, helping organise and participate in a range of engagement activities with the public and wider stakeholders, whether in person or online.
