• The ability to work well with a range of stakeholders to understand their agenda and needs, and in turn how to support them with the communication and engagement challenges they face

• The ability to make good use of data and analytics to inform decisions and actions so that we can improve our approach and create proof points that demonstrate our impact and create insight that helps us evolve our approach and manage expectations effectively
• An interest in developing a broad network, both internally and externally, to make sure our communications and engagement plans are relevant and informed, with an eye on industry trends and capabilities

• Contributing to the delivery of our Internal Communications strategy – under the direction of our Internal Communications and Engagement Business Partner, you’ll support the delivery of our functional communication plans

• All with the purpose of helping to inform colleagues on how we’re performing as a business and the progress we’re making together against our strategy
• Shaping your own communications agenda - you’ll have the opportunity to partner with key areas of the Life business and drive your own communications plans for key strategic deliverables
• These plans should help engage the wider Life business with our strategy and how their roles support this
• Driving colleague engagement through data – you’ll use the data and insight available to better understand the needs of our colleagues and make sure that we’re listening and reacting to what our colleagues need - evolving a communications plan that ultimately drives engagement at all levels of our business
• Building great relationships – you’ll forge tight relationships with a number of key people across M&G – whether that’s members of our leadership team, key stakeholders within the Life business, teammates in our CABS team, or fellow business partners from our other support functions, such as the HRBPs, Finance BPs, etc who support our business
