At M&G, our purpose is to give everyone real confidence to put their money to work. With a heritage dating back more than 175 years, we have a long history of innovation in savings and investments, combining asset management and insurance expertise to offer a wide range of solutions. Our two distinct operating segments, Asset Management and Life, work together to provide access to balanced, long-term investment and savings solutions.

Internal Communications and Engagement is a key function within our Corporate Affairs, Brand and Sustainability (CABS) team. Our role is an important one - we help M&G achieve its ambitions by making sure all of our colleagues are crystal clear on what we're aiming to achieve together, how we want to do it, and what their part is in making it happen.

You’ll primarily work within our Life business and spend a significant amount of your time building relationships in this space, creating content and communications plans and initiatives that support the delivery of the Life strategy. You'll report directly into the Internal Communications and Engagement Business Partner for Life, and work closely with the rest of our Internal Communications team, wider CABS team, and key stakeholders across Life.

• 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.
• 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.
• Building great relationships - you’ll forge tight relationships with a number of key people across M&G.

Some of the skills and experience you'll need:
