The ideal candidate may come from journalism, editorial, media, consulting, public affairs, strategic communications, PR, or professional speechwriting, rather than necessarily following a conventional corporate communications career path.

Key Responsibilities

1. Speechwriting & Content Development

• Write speeches, keynote addresses, opening and closing remarks, event introductions, and event-specific talking points.
• Develop compelling narratives, anecdotes, stories, examples, and key messages tailored to each occasion.
• Translate complex ideas and business perspectives into clear, engaging, and memorable communication.
• Develop different communication formats while maintaining consistency in the Directors voice and personality.

2. Research & Preparation

• Develop anticipated questions, suggested responses, key messages, and supporting examples.
• Conduct rehearsals and provide constructive feedback on content, structure, pacing, emphasis, and delivery.
• Help continuously develop and refine the Directors overall public-speaking style.

4. Executive Voice & Narrative Development

• Develop a deep understanding of the Directors personality, experiences, perspectives, vocabulary, and communication preferences.
• Ensure that speeches and communication feel authentic to the individual, rather than generic or overly scripted.
• Build recurring themes, stories, perspectives, and signature messages that can become part of the Directors broader public narrative.

5. Knowledge & Content Management

• Maintain a structured library of speeches, stories, anecdotes, statistics, research, quotes, examples, and reference material.
• Build and continuously update a repository of relevant business, industry, social, cultural, and leadership insights.
• Maintain version control and ensure important communication assets are readily accessible for future engagements.

6. Cross-functional Collaboration

• Coordinate closely with all Monarch group companies and JITO(Jain International Trade Organization) to obtain relevant information, data, business insights, examples, and inputs.
• Work with internal stakeholders to understand the context and objectives of each engagement.
• Exercise sound judgment regarding information sensitivity, confidentiality, and internal approvals.
