We are looking for a Communications Manager to join our Platform Business Management team. You will be responsible for communications across the Global Operating Platform. Working closely with colleagues across the wider team, you will ensure that communications are aligned with the platform’s priorities and integrated effectively with centralised communications.

The role will coordinate and deliver communications across the Global Operating Platform, working closely with stakeholders and colleagues in Schroders’ wider network of communications experts, including functional communications specialists and the central Communications team.
You will deliver clear and engaging communications across a variety of digital and in-person channels to raise awareness, inform, involve and educate our global audience. You will support stakeholder and corporate communications, including ExCo and senior manager communication briefings and Board papers, and contribute to client-facing communications such as the Global Operating Platform Client Presentation and strategic operational content for the RfP database.
