Senior Communications Manager

We are looking for a seasoned and strategic Senior Communications Manager to shape, drive and deliver Cosylab’s internal and external communications. This role combines high-level planning with hands-on execution and acts as a key communication partner to leadership, working across departments to build alignment, engagement, and external visibility.

About the Role

You will lead cross-functional communication initiatives, manage stakeholder relationships, and help define messaging that reflects Cosylab’s mission, impact, and culture. This is a senior individual contributor role with responsibility to cooperate with internal stakeholders and organizational units, coordinate external partners, and influence the evolution of communications practices and infrastructure.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities

• Design and drive integrated communication strategies that serve both internal and external audiences, aligned with business priorities and brand positioning.
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, helping craft and deliver key corporate messages, change communications, and strategic updates.
• Lead internal communications across the company — from messaging frameworks and leadership communications to campaigns that build understanding, connection, and culture.
• Manage external communications efforts, including media relations, academic, public and governmental sector engagement, and visibility within the science and technology ecosystem.
• Proactively identify communication opportunities and risks and manage responses to sensitive issues or reputational challenges in collaboration with leadership.
• Create and oversee high-quality content across formats (written, visual, digital), ensuring messaging is clear, consistent, and impactful.
• Coordinate external partners or agencies, as needed, to support press outreach, campaigns, or employer branding.
• Track communication effectiveness, using both analytics and qualitative feedback to continuously improve reach, clarity, and engagement.

Required Qualifications and Skills

• 6–8+ years of experience in internal communications, corporate communications, or public affairs — ideally within complex or mission-driven organizations.
• Strong strategic instincts and the ability to move fluidly between planning, advising, and execution.
• Exceptional writing, editing, and verbal communication skills in Slovene and English.
• Proven experience working with executives and handling complex or sensitive messaging.
• Track record of building engagement and alignment through thoughtful, well-timed communications.
• Experience managing stakeholder relationships, media contacts, or institutional partnerships.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to lead through influence and trust rather than authority.
• Experience with comms tools/platforms and a good sense for channels, audience segmentation, and content planning.

What we offer

• Employment contract for an indefinite period with a six-month probationary period.
• A work environment with flexible working hours and a hybrid work model.
• Plenty of personal and professional growth opportunities combined with a competitive and periodically updated salary tailored to your skills, experiences, and results.
• Interesting work, full of challenges in an international working environment.
• High-impact learning culture: regular in-house and external training sessions and a team of international professionals eager to help you grow.
• Many recreational after-work activities, unlimited coffee, soft drinks, fruit, and other well-being goodies.
• Cosylab events (Teambuilding, Picnic, New Year’s Party, …).
• Casual atmosphere with friendly faces where you can completely “be yourself.”

You will fit perfectly if you share these values

• Think bold: We deliver exceptional solutions through courageous thinking, open communication, and the drive to continuously improve.
• Be modest: We set our egos aside in actively listening, respecting one another, and embracing the diversity of experience and perspective across the company.
• Work smart: We know we get more accomplished by working together, being accountable, focusing our efforts, and going the extra mile.
• Enjoy life: We prioritize balance and positivity, nurturing personal wellness and celebrating successes.
• Do good: We support one another and are passionate about solving difficult problems that ultimately help make the world a better place.
