The successful candidate must have proven experience across the broad spectrum of corporate communications to help drive content creation and distribution through a range of channels.

For this opportunity, MUFG places a high premium on exceptional interviewing, writing, and editing skills that are on par with those of a seasoned journalist. The ideal candidate must thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment and have a proven track record of serving as a trusted communications advisor to senior-level executives and colleagues across the company.

• Partner with project and content owners to write and edit a wide range of communications that reflect our business, vision, and goals
• Track and analyze metrics to measure reach and effectiveness while identifying opportunities for improvement
• Explore and implement new technologies and tools to improve efficiency and enhance audience engagement
• Available to provide communications support in times of crisis and special situations, sometimes outside of normal business hours which may require spur-of-the-moment support
• Effectively manage direct and indirect staff
