We've helped millions of individuals and businesses thrive, creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted. An important and growing presence in the USA, we offer careers providing endless opportunity.

At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home.  We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.

What will you be doing?

•    Collaborating and executing on a comprehensive external communications plan which aligns to the business strategy
•    Planning global media strategy for Barclays’ Investment Bank business through partnership with a global team and with key editors, columnists, and influencers 
•    Assisting in the execution of Barclays’ Investment Bank strategic spokesperson strategy, ensuring our spokespeople can speak on a variety of corporate strategy and market landscape themes
•    Assisting with global Investment Bank awards processes, including helping with the pitch procedure
•    Determining and leading strategic media meetings with business spokespeople 
•    Offering support on monitoring, measurement, and evaluation of Investment Bank media activity
•    Monitoring and evaluating media coverage relating to Investment Bank businesses as well as assisting with quarterly coverage reports for the business

What we’re looking for:

•    Significant years of PR experience, gained either in a PR agency or in-house environment supporting investment banking, research, equities, and markets

•    Established relationships with editors, reporters, opinion-formers, and columnists at tier-one financial news outlets – primarily Bloomberg, the WSJ, Reuters and the Financial Times

•    Previous experience working in financial services and ability to understand technical subjects 

•    Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, English, Economics, or a closely related field

Skills that will help you in the role:

•    Experience in proactive and reactive media relations gained either in agency or in-house, covering a fast-moving, news environment
•    Experience delivering and executing creative campaigns and press office activity to build advocacy and reputation

•    Excellent working knowledge of US national, regional and trade media, and of the US media landscape

Where will you be working?

You will be working at our Americas Headquarters at 745 Seventh Avenue. This 37-story office tower is located in Times Square in the heart of Manhattan and features a cafeteria, fitness centre and state-of-the-art LED signage on the facade of the building.
