Job description

Referment is working with a global investment firm to find a Media Communications Associate to join the media team within its Communications group. The team builds and protects the firm's brand and reputation externally, working through press engagement and participation in industry conferences.

You'll partner with stakeholders across the organization on external initiatives that promote the firm's businesses, investment capabilities, culture, and people. This is a hands-on associate role where process management and communication skills carry equal weight.

The Role

• Manage processes and projects for the media team related to press engagements and industry conference participation.
• Coordinate with a wide range of internal groups and external parties to advance initiatives that promote and protect the firm's brand and reputation externally.
• Help drive firmwide media monitoring and related processes.
• Develop materials for external speaking and press opportunities.
• Shape improvements to the team's infrastructure and strategy.

What We're Looking For

• A bachelor's degree, a demonstrated record of academic and professional achievement, and one to three years of relevant experience in communications and/or operations roles.
• Keen process orientation with excellent organizational and process management skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects at once.
• Proven attention to detail, strong analytical and critical thinking, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A collaborative working style and the ability to coordinate effectively with colleagues and departments across the firm.
• An ambitious, client-service-oriented mindset and the ability to thrive in a rigorous and collaborative environment.

Desirable Experience

Experience working at a PR agency and/or in the financial industry is a plus but not required. Any background driving improvements to team infrastructure, data management, and overall strategy, including through AI-related efficiencies, will help you add value quickly.

This Could Suit

An early-career communications or operations professional who wants to build media relations expertise in a rigorous, collaborative environment. You might be a PR agency account executive, an in-house communications or marketing coordinator, or an operations specialist with strong process instincts and an interest in the media side of communications.
