Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum.
At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.
Edelman Smithfield is our specialist capital markets and financial services communications team based in London. As part of Edelman's global financial communications and investor relations offering, we apply our expertise in financial markets to support our clients' engagement with stakeholders on the issues that matter to them.
We are recruiting for a talented senior consultant to join our financial services communications team as an Associate Director. This critical role will entail working closely with both senior and junior colleagues to provide best-in-class communications advice and implementation to and for our clients. This role will have an emphasis on providing high quality content for our clients, so technical copywriting skill is essential. You will also be expected to contribute to and support our new business development programme.
The successful candidate will report to a Senior Director within the financial services team, and will be a key player in helping to maintain and grow this division. The financial services team looks after clients covering the full spectrum of financial services sectors, with particular strength in asset management (we are the leading asset management agency in the UK) and pensions (an award-winning team).
The role does not currently include financial calendar work but rather focuses on reputation enhancing campaigns for clients within the financial sector.
We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
