• Use LSEG's internal communications channels (these include our "Connect" intranet, digital newsletters, Yammer and in person/hybrid events) to ensure there's a regular and timely flow of sustainability and LSEG Foundation-related content to employees that facilitates and drives two-way engagement (rather than just 'cascading' related communications to them).

• Implement thought leadership campaigns and learning materials (blogs, videos, interviews, webinars etc) to build awareness of Sustainability-related activities and programs across LSEG.

• Partner with a range of stakeholders across LSEG who actively support the delivery of our Sustainability goals, ensuring their activities and initiatives are effectively communicated and incorporated within wider comms plans (examples of sustainability stakeholders include the Property, Facilities, Travel, Procurement and Investor Relations teams; also volunteer leaders).

LSEG Foundation-specific

• Be the single point of contact for all LSEG Foundation global communications activities, partnering with the Head of the LSEG Foundation.
