Additionally, you will be expected to follow branding guidelines (i.e., firm's signature voice, visuals, and narrative) across communications platforms and channels in support of relevant brand pivots.

You will perform relevant quality and risk reviews of communications, proactively identifying and raising risks with colleagues, and suggesting potential courses of action. You will stay up to date on latest thought leadership and relevant industry content and insights, and ensure they are built into messaging strategically. You will contribute to relevant data tracking within operations and data collection for potential client leads, providing updates to leadership when necessary.
