Pensions Communications Consultant

Pensions Communications Consultant

Location - London or Winchester with hybrid working as per departmental requirements (currently a minimum of 40% (2 days per week))

Our growing team of communications experts are looking to hire their next communications superstar! We're looking for someone special, who enjoys working with clients to help identify and solve their communication challenges, and who impresses them with delivery that is on time and to budget. Like us you have a love of words and an eye for design, and you'll enjoy finding creative ways to engage people with complex topics, capture attention and deliver key messages through a range of media.

Working as part of a team of experts, you'll bring enthusiasm to the creative process, an understanding of the £3 trillion UK pensions industry, and build great client relationships. In return we offer a range of challenging client opportunities, flexible working and the training and experience you need to bring your skills to the next level.

LCP's communications team sits within the wider LCP business, ready to support all our clients - DC, DB and hybrid, large or small, open or closed - with communication expertise. We work with some of the biggest companies in the world (from large British banks to charities, international hotel groups to fast-food retailers and everything else you can imagine) and although it's all about pensions, our work is surprisingly varied.

We make sure we understand the audience, define the messages, then deliver them to the right people using the right channels - print, web, video, posters, podcasts and anything else we think might work.
