Corporate and Reputation Communications Manager

At Dyson we believe everything could be better. Fuelled by a frustration with things that don’t work properly and a relentless obsession with making them work better, we’ve spent the last 25 years pioneering inventions and continually improving.

We’re growing fast. And our ambition is huge. But it’s not simply about more people and more profit. Dyson is all about better ideas and new technologies. It’s about inventing the future.

Our philosophy remains the same as it was 25 years ago when James Dyson invented the first cyclonic vacuum cleaner. We remain family-owned. We don’t bow to outside shareholders or report to the stock exchange. Instead we plot our own path, unshackled from conventional thinking. 

Join Dyson’s Global Communications team and help shape every facet of the Dyson story – innovation, technology, good works and our culture. You’ll work on comms for Dyson, the global technology company, but also support Dyson’s farms, the Dyson Institute, and the James Dyson Foundation.

                      
Based in the London Press Office near Oxford Circus, you’ll collaborate with a tight-knit team and frequently visit our R&D Campus in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, where 2,000 Dyson people create the technology of tomorrow.
