At NATIONAL, we are driven by purpose, creativity, and connection. For 50 years, our teams across Canada have helped organizations navigate change, build trust, and shape conversations that matter. This is a hands‑on senior advisory opportunity for someone who wants to be both strategic and practical, commercially minded and collaborative, and comfortable advising clients when the stakes are high.

As Director, Corporate Communications, you will provide senior strategic counsel to executives, boards of directors, and investor relations teams. You will lead complex client mandates across corporate and financial communications, investor relations, capital markets initiatives, reputation management, crisis files, transaction communications, disclosure support, and special situations. That means identifying and leading new business opportunities, expanding existing client relationships, mentoring colleagues, and connecting clients with the right expertise from across NATIONAL’s practices and offices.

As a senior member of the Toronto team, you will help clients communicate clearly in moments that matter to their business, their investors, their employees, their regulators, and other important stakeholders. You will lead complex client mandates from planning through execution, making sure the work is thoughtful, high quality, delivered on time, and managed on budget. You will also manage project planning, financial management, and resource allocation so that client objectives are met and the work runs smoothly.





You will collaborate with colleagues across NATIONAL’s practices and offices to deliver integrated communications solutions that meet evolving client needs. You will mentor, coach, and develop team members, helping foster a collaborative, inclusive, and high‑performing culture. You will stay close to capital markets trends, regulatory developments, and emerging communications practices so that your counsel is current, practical, and grounded in the realities of the market.

You will also help strengthen NATIONAL’s presence in the Canadian capital markets and financial communications community. You are a trusted advisor with a strong grounding in financial communications. You understand how to translate complex financial, market, and business issues into clear advice, credible messaging, and practical communications plans.

You are comfortable in senior rooms, including engaging with executives, boards, investor relations teams, legal advisors, bankers, analysts, and other stakeholders who are often part of high‑profile, sensitive, or crisis‑related mandates. 10+ years of experience in financial and corporate communications, capital markets, investor relations, strategic communications, or a consulting or corporate advisory workplace. Demonstrated experience providing strategic counsel to senior executives and leading complex communications or capital markets mandates, including crisis files.



Exceptional writing, presentation, and strategic communications skills, with the ability to develop compelling messaging across multiple channels.

Proven experience leading client relationships, managing budgets, and delivering complex projects in a fast‑paced consulting environment. A strong understanding of capital markets, financial communications, and the evolving media and digital landscape. A bachelor’s degree in Communications, Business, Finance, Public Relations, Journalism, or a related discipline.

Experience advising publicly traded companies, investor relations teams or capital market participants is considered an asset. Familiarity with the Canadian capital markets landscape is also an asset.

Nice to have: bilingualism in English and French. You can lead multiple priorities at once without losing sight of quality, detail, or client objectives. You can motivate teams, coach colleagues, contribute to an inclusive workplace, and draw on the strength of a national network when clients would benefit from additional expertise.

A hybrid work environment and a supportive, collegial Toronto office culture. Professional development, coaching, and growth opportunities within a national team. Occasional travel as required by client and team needs.

The expected salary for this role is $103,500 - $115,000 CAD. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and internal equity. NATIONAL is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace for all employees.
