Job Description
SENIOR MANAGER / MANAGER - CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
Some stories get published. The right stories get noticed, remembered and talked about.
DFCC Bank is looking for a seasoned communications professional who knows the difference.
This is not a role limited to writing press releases and coordinating media placements. It is an opportunity to shape how one of Sri Lanka's leading banks is seen, heard and understood by its employees, customers, the media and the wider public.
You will help set the communications agenda, uncover the stories worth telling and build narratives that command attention. You will create integrated campaigns that travel across internal, print and digital channels, and develop thought leadership and executive communications that give important ideas the authority they deserve.
You will also bring sound judgement to sensitive issues, clarity to complex messages and confidence to the moments when reputation matters most.
YOU SHOULD BE SOMEONE WHO CAN
- See a communication opportunity before it becomes obvious to everyone else
- Turn business developments into strong, relevant and attention-grabbing stories
- Build integrated PR campaigns for different audiences across multiple channels
- Develop corporate narratives, thought leadership and executive communications with authority
- Provide sound communications counsel to senior leaders and business teams
- Build strong relationships with editors, journalists, agencies and internal stakeholders
- Lead internal and change communications that build understanding and confidence
- Manage issues and crisis communications with judgement, sensitivity and speed
- Use media intelligence and performance insights to sharpen communication outcomes
- Lead agencies, guide team members and take ownership from strategy to execution
YOU SHOULD IDEALLY
- Possess a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, Public Relations, Business Management or a related discipline
- Have a minimum of seven years' experience in corporate communications, public relations, media relations or reputation management
- Have at least two years' experience in a managerial or team-lead capacity
- Possess strong knowledge of media relations, reputation management, crisis communications, internal communications and digital communication channels
- Demonstrate exceptional writing, editing and message-development skills in English
- Be able to work confidently with senior leaders, media professionals and stakeholders across the organisation
- Have experience in banking, financial services, a regulated industry or a large corporate organisation, which would be an advantage
If you know what makes a headline, what builds credibility and what needs to be handled before it becomes a crisis, we would like to hear from you.
Bring us the thinking. Bring us the judgement. Bring us the story.
