Job Description
Job Description
Infosys is seeking an exceptional writer and strategic communicator to lead a hybrid role that unites two closely related disciplines: research-led thought leadership for the Banking and Financial Services vertical, and executive communications on behalf of the Financial Services unit leader.
The role owns both the intellectual agenda and the executive voice. On one hand, it drives the strategic direction for differentiated insights and industry perspectives that strengthen Infosys' position as a trusted AI transformation partner to global banking and financial services clients. On the other, it acts as the trusted communications partner and ghostwriter to the senior executive - shaping how the leader shows up across keynotes, media, professional social platforms, and company-wide and client communications.
The successful candidate will combine strong domain fluency in banking and financial services with outstanding storytelling, speechwriting, and stakeholder engagement capabilities. They will translate complex business and technology themes into a compelling, consistent narrative that elevates both the executive and the wider Financial Services unit.
This is a highly matrixed role. While reporting to the AVP, Marketing, it works in close partnership with the Infosys Knowledge Institute, Marketing, and Sales, and operates as a discreet, trusted extension of the FS unit leader's office.
