Reporting to the Head of Marketing and Communications, Americas, this role will be a core member of the communications team responsible for driving group-level external affairs while serving as a dedicated partner to Marex's Capital Markets and Clearing businesses in the Americas.

While the role will contribute across the breadth of Marex's platform, its primary focus will be supporting the growth and strategic priorities of the Capital Markets and Clearing franchises, helping articulate Marex's differentiated offering the businesses.

Anchored in communications — media relations, narrative development, executive positioning, and external affairs — the successful candidate will be encouraged to identify opportunities to add value across the business. Marex is a growing firm, and this individual will grow with it. Where communications intersects with marketing, business development, investor relations, or stakeholder engagement, this person can and should be involved.

What is consistent is the communications lens: this role exists to ensure Marex tells a clear, credible, and compelling story — and to find new ways to do that across an expanding platform.
