The Role

We’re looking for a proactive and thoughtful Communications Associate to join our team. Ideally, you’ll bring 1–2 years of experience in communications, PR, or content-focused roles.

• Draft and edit content for a range of internal and external channels, including newsletters, press releases, intranet stories, social media posts, and presentations.

• Help plan and deliver internal campaigns, events, and regular updates in partnership with key stakeholders.

• Manage content calendars and help ensure projects stay on track.

• Proactively identify compelling media angles and pitch stories to elevate Morningstar’s research and thought leadership.

• Monitor and analyse earned media coverage and communications campaign performance.

• Stay on top of industry trends and bring fresh ideas to the table.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of experience in a communications, PR, or content-related role (agency or in-house).

• Strong writing and editing skills, with an adaptable tone of voice.

• Comfortable working across multi-channel communications (e.g. social media, intranet, newsletters).

• Highly organised and able to manage multiple projects and competing timelines.

• Curious, collaborative, and eager to grow, this is a hands-on, varied role with room to develop.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage several projects at once.

• Familiarity with media monitoring tools and intranet platforms.

• Experience in financial services, or professional services.
