  Are you a team player with a growth mindset? Are you interested in working on meaningful projects? Do you want to work with cutting-edge technology? Are you interested in being part of a team that is working to transform and do things differently? If so, LPL Financial is the place for you!

  LPL Financial (Nasdaq: LPLA) was founded on the principle that the firm should work for the advisor, and not the other way around. Today, LPL is a leader* in the markets we serve, supporting more than 18,000 financial advisors, 800 institution-based investment programs and 450 independent RIA firms nationwide. We are steadfast in our commitment to the advisor-centered model and the belief that Americans deserve access to personalized guidance from a financial advisor. At LPL, independence means that advisors have the freedom they deserve to choose the business model, services, and technology resources that allow them to run their perfect practice. And they have the freedom to manage their client relationships, because they know their clients best. Simply put, we take care of our advisors, so they can take care of their clients.

  Job Overview:

  We’re seeking an experienced strategic communications professional to join LPL’s Corporate Communication Team. In this role, you’ll be responsible for leading communication strategies and plans—including consulting, writing, project management, and execution—in support of the firm’s top strategic priorities.

  Reporting to the SVP of Internal Communications, you’ll work closely with executive leaders and other departments across the firm to help drive understanding of company priorities, and awareness of how they affect employees and other key stakeholders.

  You’ll work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and draw on your strategic communications experience to navigate complexity and ambiguity while mitigating reputational risk.

  The role requires someone who can operate independently, manage priorities effectively, thrives in an ever-changing environment, has a friendly can-do attitude, and pays attention to detail. We’re not looking for someone to do things the way they’ve always been done. Someone who is curious, innovative, and thinks outside of the box is well-suited for this position.

  Responsibilities:

  • Create and execute effective communications to help drive awareness and understanding of the LPL strategy and its impact on employees and other key stakeholders.

  • Develop annual and long-term communication campaigns that support the top priorities of the firm, and drive engagement across the enterprise.

  • Provide strategic communications counsel and thought leadership to business partners.

  • Contribute to the development of modern communication strategies that deliver ongoing, relevant, consumable employee messaging.

  • Partner closely with executive sponsors and business partners to identify communication needs and translate them into strategic, executable plans that drive measurable results.

  • Develop mechanisms to uncover unmet informational needs/opportunities within our internal audiences and lead cross-functional teams toward targeted solutions.

  • Realize and orchestrate opportunities to help information flow across and throughout the organization.

  • Collaborate with peers to develop modern employee communication content that breaks through the everyday clutter, bringing the LPL story to life across a diverse and rapidly growing workforce

  • Leverage LPL owned multi-media channels (including web, video, social, and other media) to support company goals and reader/viewer engagement.

  • Serve as a champion of LPL’s culture through communication development, continuous improvement, and professional modeling.

  Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree (Marketing, Communication, English, Journalism, or related field preferred); Master’s degree preferred

  • Minimum of 8 to 10 years’ experience focused in communication, including audio/visual; financial services industry experience a plus

  Core Competencies:

  • Ability to interact and collaborate well with senior executives—as well as professionals at all levels of the organization, , as well as external partners and vendors.

  • A poised, professional communications leader who is adept at proactive problem-solving and comfortable advising executives.

  • Ability to independently and successfully prioritize and manage multiple projects for a variety of stakeholders on an ongoing basis.

  • Stellar written and oral communication skills, with the ability to grasp and translate complex and disparate ideas into cohesive and clear key messages delivered in a conversational tone

  • Graceful under pressure, resilient, and flexible in the face of change.

  • Proven ability to work under tight deadlines and deliver high-quality work quickly.

  • A thoughtful approach to audience segmentation, considering impact to all stakeholders in decisions and messaging
