Join a leading financial services organization in a pivotal communications and storytelling role. This is a unique, project-based engagement, approximately 90-100 days in duration, focused on making an immediate and significant impact. You will be instrumental in shaping the narrative and amplifying the value of a vital internal team, transforming complex technological advancements into clear, compelling stories that resonate across the entire organization.

About the Opportunity

Our established financial client is seeking a strong storyteller and strategic thinker to help shape, craft, and articulate the identity and value of a key internal team focused on marketing enablement and oversight. In this internal consulting role, you will be the driving force behind defining who this team is, what they do, and how their technology investments positively impact the wider organization.

This engagement will involve interviewing internal business stakeholders, assessing current perceptions and needs, and synthesizing those insights into a compelling narrative. The ultimate anchor deliverable for this role is a definitive, high-impact executive presentation deck that the team will use consistently to champion its mission across the company.

We need someone who can bring these ideas to life, whether it's transforming complex data into simple visuals or creating infographics that help explain. We need someone who can turn raw data into information, and that information into insight.

The ideal candidate is a consultative problem-solver with elite presentation skills and the ability to turn complex technical capabilities into human, value-driven stories.

• Simplify the Complex: Translate technical capabilities and multi-layered business initiatives into concise, visually engaging, and easily digestible concepts.
