Senior Executive Communications Manager
Level: L4 Senior Manager
Reporting to: EY UK Communications Director
The Opportunity
This role supports the communications for key members of the UK&I leadership team, including our Regional Managing Partner and Deputy Regional Managing Partner. You will help them communicate clearly across the business and with a range of stakeholders ensuring their messages are clear, credible and impactful.
This is first and foremost a writing and advisory role. You will shape leadership narratives and produce the speeches, scripts, messages and briefings for internal and external events and engagements that bring them to life, working closely with leaders, their teams and experts across the business.
Our key audiences have distinct requirements. Partners need timely, substantive insight into the firm’s performance, priorities and direction. Our people need clear, relevant communications that earn their attention. Externally, this role will support the development of leadership communications materials with informed, evidence-based positions on issues relevant to the business and its stakeholders.
This role offers an accomplished communications professional the opportunity to advise senior leaders, shape influential narratives and produce work with impact.
Key Responsibilities
Narrative Development & Written Craft
- Develop clear leadership narratives with strong, distinct points of view, supported by data and insight.
- Help our people understand the firm’s direction, the reasons behind key decisions and the impact of our work.
- Write scripts, speeches, leadership emails, briefings and presentations for live, recorded and written channels, including events.
- Write in a voice that feels personal to each leader and remains consistent across channels.
