This leading financial information provider is seeking an Associate Communications Strategist, to handle media relations across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in the areas of insurance and managed funds.
In this varied role, you will be responsible for helping to ensure that the company delivers clear, articulate messages to the media both via the messaging in research and rating announcements as well as by preparing spokespeople for media engagement. The role entails working closely with analysts and subject matter experts who rely on Communication Strategists as true counsellors to identify, prioritize, and clarify complex messages to a broad audience in a clear, logical and articulate manner.
The role involves assisting in message formulation - recommending ideas for research that would be relevant to the market and identifying ways to improve the quality and timeliness of such research. Key responsibilities also include developing and maintaining effective business relationships with strategic contacts in the print, web-based, and broadcast media; effectively preparing experts for media interviews as thought leaders; and monitoring, analyzing and reporting on resulting coverage.
The ideal candidate must approach work with a sense of ownership and be able to quickly establish credibility both internally and externally by displaying sound media judgement and providing counsel to the business lines being supported. They will be able to demonstrate experience in reputation management, media strategy formulation and execution and skill in implementing proven tactics that achieve maximum positive media coverage, while mitigating and minimizing inaccurate or negative press in a fast-paced environment. Financial services experience would be preferable, as would fluency in a 2nd European language.
