You will lead the Mexico Reach & Engagement (R&E) team, collaborating with colleagues with expertise in media, social media, events, publishing, communications, and external relations.
Your work will involve serving two key locations in Mexico—Ciudad de Mexico (the largest), and Monterrey—where you will support nearly 150 colleagues. You will also be a member of the Latin America R&E team, collaborating to drive synergies and share regional projects.
You will join a group of communications professionals within the firm’s Reach and Engagement function. These colleagues help ensure that appropriate insights reach designated audiences, building awareness and engagement with McKinsey’s distinctive knowledge on a variety of topics. They shape the way the firm connects with people—from clients to employees to alumni—strengthening institutional relationships, connections, and affiliations.
Through leadership across communications initiatives, you will shape the development and implementation of best-in-class global communications programs, events, and publications.
You will be a thought-partner for senior leaders and partners, and work to strengthen external relationships. You will proactively shape creative communications strategies to showcase McKinsey’s knowledge and assets, maintain the firm’s reputation, and bring campaigns to life in Mexico.
In terms of creating effective communications: you will drive high-quality writing and editing by leading/enabling teams to develop clear, structured and engaging written communications that rigorously follow conventions of written Spanish and English. With cell leaders, you will manage the firm’s reputational risk by mapping strengths/weaknesses and handling opportunities/threats. You will anticipate, identify, and respond to reputational risk issues to protect and enhance McKinsey's reputation by reviewing materials and proactively shaping the narrative. You will be expected to establish high-quality and consistent branding (i.e., firm's signature voice, visuals, and narrative) across communications platforms and channels in support of relevant brand pivots.
In terms of project management and creation: you will play the role of a thought-partner for senior leaders and partners in developing networking programs to strengthen relationships with clients, potential clients, and media, and drive meaningful impact through execution and delivery. You will independently define and direct complex communication strategies, and advance short-term and long-term programs. You will effectively and independently manage large-scale, often global, interdependent, complex projects/initiatives. You’ll develop and execute reputation-building programs through a mix of publishing activities (e.g., monitoring of media relations and public relations, targeted knowledge dissemination). You will build a network of key editors, journalists, policymakers, senior executives, and academics, and focus on identifying and securing regional partnerships with relevant stakeholders.
You will counsel leadership and leverage their efforts for substantive firm contributions. You will manage the communications team, including hiring, developing, coaching, and evaluating team members. You will enable a collaborative and inclusive environment for the team as well.
