Executive Director, Senior Lead Communications & Events Management Consultant (Corporate & Investment Banking)

About this role:

This position will be responsible for internal and external communications and events management for our APAC business within Corporate & Investment Banking. The individual will serve as a strategic advisor to senior leaders, translating business priorities into clear messaging, supporting internal communications across the region, and planning and executing high-impact events.

Communications:

• Write, develop, and distribute the International newsletter reaching employees across APAC and EMEA.

• Support external communications, including advising APAC executives on media opportunities and managing relationships with key financial reporters; help mitigate negative coverage by ensuring accurate reporting and shaping narratives where appropriate.

• Support regional executive visibility through social media.

Events:

• Plan, manage, and execute the full lifecycle of regional events — including client conferences, town halls, leadership forums, and corporate hospitality --- from concept through on-site delivery.

• Own end-to-end event logistics: venue sourcing, vendor management, run-of-show, and post-event wrap-up.

• Establish and maintain vendor relationships to ensure quality service and cost discipline; finalize event budgets and track spend against approvals.

• Measure event effectiveness through attendee engagement metrics and feedback, applying learnings to continuously improve outcomes.
