Toronto, Canada KPMG Full time

Overview:
At KPMG, you’ll join a team of diverse and dedicated problem solvers, connected by a common cause: turning insight into opportunity for clients and communities around the world.

The Opportunity

This exciting role sits within the Media Relations & Issues Management team, which supports KPMG to deliver media activations for leading edge campaigns. This team are the “outside-in” thinkers within the wider Global Communications team. This means engaging with channels, communities and stakeholders outside of KPMG to support the design of external communications approaches that will land effectively.

What you will do:

- Works closely with Media Relations and Issues Management teammates to develop and execute media plans for KPMG. Media activations will tend to fall in two categories: campaigns for particular service lines of the business (e.g. Tax, ESG), or company-wide campaigns (e.g. Financial Results, participation at Davos). This role is likely to focus on the former of those categories but may at times require support on the latter as well.
- Builds and maintains long-term internal relationships with key internal stakeholders and understanding of their business areas. This includes the development of strong external communications programs to support their respective areas with solid ROI.
- Demonstrates strong commercial understanding of key business areas and global priorities.
- Has extensive knowledge of external communications best practices and employs them consistently.
- Understands the interactivity between various business areas and looks for opportunity to promote connectivity and consistency in messaging and narrative.
- Foster strong relationships with local counterparts to ensure consistency in-market and to maximize the impact of global campaigns.
- Strong understanding of key media outlets and their portfolio of journalists.
- Support the Issues Management side of the team as needed. All members of the team need to be able to handle both proactive and reactive media engagement.

What you bring to this role:

- A communications professional with at least five years of experience.
- Proven project management skills with the ability to get buy-in and support for projects from diverse and often widespread stakeholders. Experience of the above in a global, matrix context would be advantageous.
- Excellent writing and communication skills, with an ability to grasp business objectives and translate into actionable technical and functional requirements.
- Strong influencing and communication skills to act professionally, calmly and persuasively when dealing with key internal stakeholders.
- Comfort with wide variety of cultural differences and skill sets, and willingness to work flexible hours as required - connecting and collaborating with colleagues in different time zones.
- Education: Diploma or undergraduate degree.
