Media relations and editorial strategy

Lead day-to-day and long-horizon media engagement across print, broadcast, digital and wire services, covering business, markets, personal finance and trade press.

Own and deepen relationships with Tier-1 financial editors, market anchors and sector correspondents; act as a trusted source for the newsroom.

Drive proactive story pitching, exclusives, embargoed announcements and thematic thought leadership tied to Group data and market cycles.

Manage results-day and event-day media operations, including quarterly earnings, product launches, fund milestones and marquee conferences.

Narrative and message architecture

Translate business, product and financial developments into transparent, accurate, compelling external narratives.

Build media reference material, Q&A; banks, briefing notes and spokesperson prep for leadership and business heads.

Ensure messaging consistency across ten business verticals and Group entities without flattening the distinct voice of each.

Reputation and Issue Management

Serve as a first responder on media-facing reputation issues and market-sensitive queries, in close coordination with the Head of Group Corporate Communication.

Correct inaccurate reporting quickly and credibly; manage sensitive inquiries with judgment and precision.

Feed media intelligence and sentiment signals into the Group's crisis and reputation governance framework.

Executive positioning and speaking platforms

Position Group leadership across interviews, columns, panels, podcasts and industry stages.

Build and manage a speaking calendar: identify the right conferences, summits, awards juries and industry forums, secure keynote and panel slots, and match each platform to the right spokesperson.

Own the end-to-end speaker experience, from pitch and abstract to talking points, rehearsal and post-event amplification.

Identify white-space narrative angles that differentiate the brand rather than echo the category.

Digital PR and Owned Amplification





Extend earned coverage into digital and social channels; ensure media wins, leadership commentary and thought leadership travel across the Group's owned platforms and LinkedIn.

Partner with the ORM and social teams to align external narrative with online sentiment, and to convert reputation signals into proactive digital storytelling.

Build relationships with digital-first publications, newsletters, finance creators and podcast hosts, and use SEO and generative-search visibility as part of the coverage strategy, not an afterthought.

Internal communication

Carry a defined part of Group internal communication: ensure employees hear major news, results, wins and reputation moments from within before they read them outside.

Translate the external narrative inward, so the franchise story is understood and echoed consistently by people across the ten verticals.

Support leadership messaging, milestone campaigns and culture-building communication in coordination with the wider Corporate Communication function.

Measurement

Own share of voice, sentiment quality, message pull-through, digital reach and editorial relationship health as tracked outcomes, not vanity coverage counts.

Monthly reports generation with the help of team.

Role Requirements

Skills Required

Exposure to regulated-industry communication, SEBI, RBI or equivalent, and comfort with the compliance guardrails that come with it.

Exceptional writing. Can produce a sharp media pitch, a clean press release and a leadership byline with equal ease.

Fluent in the language of markets, products and financials, and able to make it intelligible to a general reader.

Comfortable across channels: earned media, digital PR, LinkedIn and leadership platforms, plus internal communication that lands with employees.

Sound editorial judgment under time pressure, especially on results days and during live issues.

Strategic restraint over noise; knows when not to comment.

Calm and credible in a crisis; discreet with sensitive information.
