• CDRR Communications Lead, Cyber, Data, Risk & Resilience
• Client is seeking a Divisional Communications Lead to support Cyber, Data, Risk and Resilience (CDRR), a global Technology division operating at the intersection of cybersecurity, data, technology risk, fraud, and nonfinancial risk.
• This role is responsible for translating complex cyber, risk, resilience, and technology topics into clear, audience-appropriate communications that inform, engage, and influence employees, senior leaders, and key stakeholders across the Firm.
• This role reports to the CDRR Chief of Staff.

• Apply rigorous quality control — proofreading, link checks, distribution list validation, sender verification — and drive review/approval workflows across CDRR leadership, Technology Communications, and Corporate Communications before any broad distribution.

• Drive communications execution for major CDRR and Technology/Firmwide threat awareness initiatives, including building campaign plans, tracking dependencies, and coordinating Creative Services and other stakeholders through completion.
• Lead or support communications to CDRR, Technologywide, or Firmwide audiences, including cyber/information security alerts and policy communications, partnering with SMEs to translate complex technical topics into clear, actionable messaging.
