Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG) is hiring: Consultant, Communication Consulting
Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG), Dallas, TX, United States
Overview
Every business knows that a passionate workforce is infinitely more productive than one packed with people counting down the seconds from nine to five. But how do you get employees genuinely fired up about work? That’s where we come in.
At Gallagher, we’re driving behavior change at scale for some of the biggest household names on the planet. You could launch a mental health campaign for the world’s biggest sportswear brand, change perceptions about healthcare, and convert millennials into long‑term savers.
How you'll make an impact
As a member of our US Communication Consulting Practice, you’ll be part of client teams dedicated to helping improve engagement, attraction and retention through creative benefits and well‑being communication.
The Consultant is a hands‑on project manager and writer responsible for driving behaviour change for global brands through world‑class strategic planning and executional excellence, overseeing complex projects from concept to delivery.
You have a passion for communication and a natural ability to write the right message and choose the right medium for your audience. You understand the client’s strategic goals and the problem you are trying to solve for their employees and their business. You strive to create beautiful, relevant experiences that deliver results. You will work with your project teams to ensure all deliverables are of the highest quality and are delivered on time and on budget.
At Gallagher, we believe that communication can do more than simply inform. It can persuade, motivate, educate and most importantly help achieve results. From benefits, to change, to total wellbeing and more, our team helps clients share important information with their employees, engaging them and helping them to understand and appreciate the value in what’s being communicated.
While there is no one “right” employee for this position, individuals who are most likely to succeed in the role possess superior written and oral communication skills, are detail‑oriented and self‑sufficient, and have strong interpersonal skills. As a Consultant on the team, you will:
Write, edit or manage content for client deliverables that are designed to engage employees, aid understanding and drive desired behaviours, ensuring consistency, accuracy and appropriate tone, and reviewing the work of less experienced colleagues.
Attend client meetings to gather information, establish needs, clarify expectations, develop strategies and obtain feedback.
Assist senior staff with the creation and management of project schedules and budgets (production, consulting and design costs).
Manage mid‑size projects (e.g. $50K and below) or key milestones for larger projects, with guidance of senior staff, overseeing aspects of the execution of a communication campaign (drafting, approvals, design, production).
Serve as a day‑to‑day client contact for questions, feedback, project updates or information requests, with supervision by senior staff.
Demonstrate an understanding of the communication process and communication issues pertinent to client projects.
Educate clients on content and design elements and how they can help achieve indicated communication goals.
Support the expansion of client relationships by reviewing project activity, advising team members of project changes and identifying opportunities for growth.
Assist with new business development, including research and concept development for proposals and presentations.
Aid in the timely preparation and submission of bills.
Develop project estimates, schedules and facilitate approvals.
Work collaboratively and effectively with the internal project team to come with effective solutions that meet client needs and deadlines.
