Position summary

The Communication Manager is part of the Communications team and responsible for dedicated topics of GLEIF’s external and internal communications program, supporting the Head of Global Corporate Communication and in cooperation with the business stakeholders. We seek an individual with the ambition and skill to evolve GLEIF’s communications program for the newly developed service on verifiable credentials (vLEI). The vLEI is a digitally verifiable credential containing the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI).
