    • Experience in strategic financial communications (financial calendar, M&A, capital markets activity etc.) would be a distinct advantage, as would an understanding of ESG and responsible investing frameworks.
    • Proven track record of successfully leading corporate and financial PR campaigns and delivering measurable results.

    • Highly knowledgeable in geopolitics, business, current affairs, and finance.
    • Experience in new business development, including lead generation, proposal writing, and pitching.
