The Internal Communications Executive plays a vital role in supporting our culture and connecting our firm. You'll be working with colleagues from across our global network to create and share engaging content for our international internal communication channels.

You will be part of a supportive team with training to build your skills and confidence, and when you are ready you will have lots of autonomy to shape and develop the editorial content and style. You will also be involved in key internal communication projects and campaigns and you will be encouraged to innovate in how we communicate effectively to drive engagement, including working with new channels including apps and our state-of-the-art London video studio.

They help to win new work and strengthen and deepen client relationships, using a data driven and sales focused approach.

The team is mostly based in London and is made up of over 60 specialists in marketing communications, business development and client service. As a central team we lead global activities while working closely with our network of MBD colleagues based across our international offices.

Whether it's driving a new content strategy, pitching for cutting-edge work, building our brand, or contributing to the development of our client relationships, we're committed to providing exceptional service to the firm and are known for leading the way when it comes to new technology and solutions. Energetic, creative and global, we're looking for people who have a passion for MBD and are keen to take a fresh approach.
