You will need a credible understanding of economics, politics, and what is driving markets to engage with our investment professionals and business heads.

The secondary responsibility will be to produce a compelling narrative of our press success on an ad hoc basis and twice a year with quoted commentators and internal stakeholders.

On a day-to-day basis, you will support the flow of requests from our agencies to facilitate their engagement with local journalists as well as provide support for internal meetings, press releases, Q&As and other activities related to the PR team's remit.

Given the importance of ESG and Impact Investing to both the company and our client base, a working understanding and interest in ESG will be an important factor.

The successful candidate will interact with a wide range of senior stakeholders across multiple functions, meaning the ability to manage, and influence is important.
