About the Role
As Vice President, Communications, you will lead the development and execution of communications strategies for major firm announcements, including M&A and fundraises, while contributing to EQT's broader profile-raising efforts. You will work closely with the Head of Corporate Affairs in the Americas and collaborate with colleagues across Europe and Asia, with real autonomy to shape and own your communications strategies.

- Demonstrated project management capability, with experience leading multiple workstreams simultaneously and delivering to deadline
- Experience developing communications strategies for significant corporate announcements (transactions, capital raises, or similar)
- Familiarity with working cross-functionally in a matrixed or global organisation
- Comfort operating at both strategic and executional levels — from advising on approach to producing the final materials
Nice to have:
- Experience in private equity, asset management, or broader financial services.
- Exposure to investor relations or capital markets communications
- Experience working across multiple geographies or time zones as part of a global team
What We Offer
- The opportunity to help shape EQT’s external voice and brand through high-impact communications.
- A global platform where you’ll collaborate closely with senior leaders and diverse teams.
