About Company Shop Group (CSG)

Company Shop Group (CSG), part of the Biffa Group, is the UK’s largest commercial redistributor of surplus food and household products. We work with some of the UK’s biggest retailers, manufacturers, and logistics providers to unlock value from surplus stock that might otherwise go to waste.

That stock is given a second life through our Company Shop stores and our award-winning social enterprise Community Shop, helping to build stronger individuals and more confident communities.

We’re a purpose-led business doing good, with people at the heart of everything we do. We champion diversity, inclusion, and fresh perspectives — because better ideas create better outcomes.

The Role

As Communications Executive, you’ll play a key role in shaping and delivering industry-targeted (B2B) communications across multiple channels. Working closely with the Head of Communications and Senior Communications Manager, you’ll help bring our stories, campaigns, and insights to life — engaging industry partners and strengthening CSG’s profile.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced role for a confident communicator who enjoys creating compelling content, analysing performance, and spotting opportunities to improve impact. You’ll have the autonomy to test new ideas while supporting a wider strategic communications plan.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Creating, delivering, and optimising content across multiple platforms, including:

-Social media (LinkedIn – business and individual profiles)

• Monitoring channel performance using available analytics and providing insight-led recommendations.
• Using a test-and-learn approach to suggest new content ideas and formats.
• Producing monthly industry communications reports for internal stakeholders, summarising performance, insights, and upcoming activity.

• Staying reactive to industry news and social conversations to ensure timely, relevant content.

• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.
• Confidence working collaboratively across teams and with external partners.
• Strong reporting and analytical skills, with the ability to turn data into insight.
