Who are we?

We want to be the best place that any of our 6,600 colleagues have ever worked.

We’re Phoenix Group, we’re a long-term savings and retirement business. We offer a range of products across our market-leading brands, Standard Life, SunLife, Phoenix Life and ReAssure. Around 1 in 5 people in the UK has a pension with us. We’re a FTSE 100 organisation that is tackling key issues such as transitioning our portfolio to net zero by 2050, and we’re not done yet.

The role

You will drive the communications strategy and approach for our investment proposition along with shaping and ensuring delivery of investment communications to support this strategy. This will involve articulating technical subject matter into clear, concise strategic key messages and supporting others to do so.

Be responsible for the core investment messages for our investment solutions, aligning to propositional intent and target market and ensuring that we set and maintain good customer expectations on the investment proposition.

You will also lead several strategic investment communications projects across the business and manage relationships with internal and external stakeholders to ensure delivery to agreed specifications within deadlines.  You will work closely and collaboratively with Marketing, Distribution and other functions, to support them as they deliver engaging and insightful investment content.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience implementing investment communications as part of one or multiple change projects within a Pension & Savings or an Investment company.
• Experience of supporting communication creation for one or more different audiences (end customer/member, advisers, employers, trustees, as well as internal audiences)
• Excellent communications skills, with the ability to absorb complex and detailed technical investment information and turn it into clear, understandable and persuasive material for different audiences.
• Strong interpersonal, networking, planning, and organisational skills to manage diverse stakeholder relationships and deliver activities effectively.
• Ability to anticipate future customer and business to business communication needs based on customer research, market insight and the broader political, legislative and financial landscape.

We want to hire the whole version of you.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone feels accepted and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If your experience looks different from what we’ve advertised and you believe that you can bring value to the role, we’d love to hear from you.

If you require any adjustments to the recruitment process, please let us know so we can help you to be at your best.
