Job Description:
  • CDRR Communications Lead, Cyber, Data, Risk & Resilience
  • Client is seeking a Divisional Communications Lead to support Cyber, Data, Risk and Resilience (CDRR), a global Technology division operating at the intersection of cybersecurity, data, technology risk, fraud, and nonfinancial risk.
  • This role is responsible for translating complex cyber, risk, resilience, and technology topics into clear, audienceappropriate communications that inform, engage, and influence employees, senior leaders, and key stakeholders across the Firm.
  • This role reports to the CDRR Chief of Staff.
  • This is a highexecution, content-heavy communications role.
  • The successful candidate will not only help shape communications strategy but will also own the dayto-day delivery of communications from concept through distribution: drafting, editing, stakeholder review, approval routing, calendar management, channel execution, quality control, and post-send follow-up.
  • The role supports a broad portfolio of communications including executive messages, organizational announcements, divisional newsletters, Firmwide and Technologywide risk communications, cyber awareness content, employee engagement campaigns, Open Forum / town hall communications, intranet content management, and major multi-week internal threat awareness campaigns.
Key Responsibilities:
Communications Strategy and Planning:
  • Lead planning and execution of CDRR’s communications portfolio, translating divisional priorities into audience strategy, messaging, channels, timing, and approvals aligned with Technologywide and Corporate Communications standards.
  • Maintain a forwardlooking calendar and editorial cadence across newsletters, executive communications, campaigns, Open Forums, and risk/cyber awareness content, managing multiple concurrent workstreams at varying lifecycle stages.
  • Maintain auditready approval trails, version control, and distribution records.
Content Development and Editorial Production:
  • Own the full content lifecycle for assigned communications: intake, drafting, editing, factchecking, stakeholder review, approvals, quality control, distribution, and archiving.
  • Draft and edit executive communications for CDRR senior leaders — organizational announcements, leadership memos, and sensitive or highvisibility messaging — partnering with Chiefs of Staff and SMEs to validate content.
  • Produce a high volume of communications across formats — emails, newsletters, alerts, memos, intranet posts, and campaign copy — and own recurring newsletters such as “We Are CDRR,” the bimonthly newsletter for the global divisional audience.
  • Apply rigorous quality control — proofreading, link checks, distributionlist validation, sender verification — and drive review/approval workflows across CDRR leadership, Technology Communications, and Corporate Communications before any broad distribution.
Campaign and Firmwide Communications:
  • Drive communications execution for major CDRR and Technology/Firmwide threat awareness initiatives, including building campaign plans, tracking dependencies, and coordinating Creative Services and other stakeholders through completion.
  • Lead or support communications to CDRR, Technologywide, or Firmwide audiences, including cyber/information security alerts and policy communications, partnering with SMEs to translate complex technical topics into clear, actionable messaging.
Stakeholder Management and Governance:
  • Serve as the central coordination point across CDRR, Technology Communications, Corporate Communications, divisional leadership, and SMEs, supporting recurring forums to align messaging, manage cadence, and resolve competing priorities.
  • Maintain editorial standards, templates, runbooks, and repositories to support consistent, repeatable execution, and ensure appropriate review, approval, and confidentiality handling across all communications.
Employee Engagement and Events:
  • Support communications for the quarterly CDRR Open Forums and other engagement events — drafting and distributing invitations, agendas, and followups, and coordinating logistics with event owners and CDRR leadership.
  • Support communications governance for external recognition, awards, and other divisional management activities, coordinating submissions and related content with relevant stakeholders.
Metrics, Continuous Improvement and Innovation:
  • Track readership, participation, and campaign performance to refine cadence, format, and channel strategy, conducting postsend/post-campaign reviews to improve future communications.
  • Identify and implement AI, automation, and agentbased tools to improve communications workflows, partnering with Technology teams to pilot and scale solutions that enhance productivity and consistency.
Skills Required:
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and editorial judgment — able to draft polished executive communications, newsletters, alerts, and campaign copy, and to identify the right message, audience, tone, and channel under time pressure.
  • Ability to translate technical cyber, technology risk, data, fraud, and resilience topics into clear, actionable messaging for audiences with varying levels of technical fluency.
  • Strong command of brand and editorial standards, adapting voice and tone by audience while safeguarding consistency with Firm, Technology, and CDRR identity guidelines.
  • Strong execution discipline and process management, owning communications endto-end — intake, drafting, approvals, distribution, archiving, and follow-up — with high attention to detail, including proofreading, factchecking, and link/sender validation.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and collaboration skills, including the ability to coordinate and build trust across senior leaders, SMEs, Technology and Firmwide communications functions, and global partners.
  • Experience operating in a fastpaced, matrixed, global environment, managing competing priorities and shifting timelines across multiple active deliverables.
  • Ability to work with discretion and sound judgment, particularly when handling sensitive organizational, regulatory, cyber, risk, or leadership communications.
  • Comfort with metrics and continuous improvement, including the ability to interpret engagement data and channel performance to refine future communications.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and collaboration tools, including M365 Copilot, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, and related contentmanagement platforms; comfort working with AI and agent-based tools used across existing divisional workflows.
  • Experience with internal, executive, or change communications in a large, complex organization; financial services, Technology, cybersecurity, risk, regulatory, or other highly controlled environment experience preferred.
Technology:
  • Technology works as a strategic partner with Client business units and the world's leading technology companies to redefine how client do business in ever more global, complex, and dynamic financial markets.
  • Client’s sizeable investment in technology results in quantitative trading systems, cuttingedge modelling and simulation software, comprehensive risk and security systems, and robust client-relationship capabilities, plus the worldwide infrastructure that forms the backbone of these systems and tools.
