Thomson Reuters, New York, NY
Our purpose at Thomson Reuters, is to Inform the Way forward. Together with the professionals and institutions we serve, we help uphold the rule of law, turn the wheels of commerce, catch bad actors, report the facts, and provide trusted, unbiased information to people all over the world. Our people, products and customers turn this purpose into action every day and create meaningful positive impact on communities around the world.
We invite a seasoned, agile, and forward-thinking communications professional to help elevate our corporate narrative. In this role, you'll be a linchpin for delivering coherent and compelling communications around financial, and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) communications. You'll not just disseminate financial information; you'll articulate our fiscal achievements and business strategies, enriching our brand's market standing while helping to shape executive communications across various platforms and stakeholders.
Based in Toronto, ON, or in New York and operating under the direct purview of the Senior Director of Corporate Affairs, you'll be the synchronizing force among various departments. In this individual contributor role, you will collaborate seamlessly with teams from finance to marketing, legal to investor relations, and executive leadership. You will drive unified messaging that is both accurate and impactful. Your relationship management skills will be characterized by a vital blend of trust, mutual respect, and specialist knowledge.
The ideal candidate will possess unmatched skills in navigating complex challenges, articulating solutions in a manner that's both clear and engaging. Prior experience in financial and executive communications within the technology sector is indispensable, and familiarity with the dynamics of publicly listed companies is highly favored.
You enjoy being an individual contributor as the nature of the role requires you to thrive in the fluidity and ambiguity of a matrixed environment, operating without junior support. Your attention to detail will be nothing short of meticulous, and your experience in working closely with senior executives will set you apart.
Regular engagements with the media are an integral part of this high-stakes, high-visibility role. You'll not only manage our relationships with business and technology journalists, including Reuters who maintain editorial independence but will bring to the table an established network on media contacts in the technology sector, enabling you to make an immediate impact.
