An interest in digital and crypto is a must. Training about the fund management industry will be given.

A key aspect of this role will also include staying up to date with industry developments in print, digital, events and virtual events and advising on new and innovative activities that could improve the performance of the Funds Europe business.

• To help in the production of the daily newsletter.
• Helping to develop the FundsTech publication and brand through the above activities, but also by forward planning content and supporting activities such as events, video interviews and webinars.
• Although technology and digital are at the centre of this role, the Technology & Digital Staff Writer must also be flexible enough to cover the asset servicing industry more broadly, for example, company profiles.
• Developing knowledge of digital publishing to aid in the distribution of content to a wide and/or most relevant audience.
• Responsibility for the quality of work produced for prospects and clients and ensuring that the current best practices of the business are always employed.
• Ensuring that the performance management and differentiation principles are reflected through the business.

• Ensure at all times appropriate conduct internally and externally is maintained.
• Have solid communication, interpersonal and organisation skills with time management being of key importance
• Be enthusiastic and willing to take on a variety of tasks.
• Be able to use initiative and work under pressure to achieve tight deadlines.
