In this unique role, you’ll develop and deliver an investment communication framework and will play a pivotal part in communicating QSuper’s investment capability across the QSuper organisation, our membership, and external stakeholder groups.

You’ll report to the Senior Manager, Policy and Governance within the Investments team, however you’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation including Customer & Marketing, Corporate Affairs, Product, Digital, Legal, Compliance and Internal Communications.
