at  LSEG London Stock Exchange Group

Are you passionate about communication and learning? The content creator will be responsible for translating technical content into messaging that can be used to delivery communication across a range of roles.

While that may sounds simple, it will require us to mobilize an entire workforce to change their ways of working, approach to migrations, and view on the cloud and what it means for them. This will be happening under the backdrop of some transformational client facing capabilities also being built – which are completely dependent on these migrations happening successfully.
