You will ensure TI's corporate story and message is clear and consistent across all audiences. This role sits at the intersection of communications strategy, executive counsel, and operational execution, requiring someone who can stay composed under pressure while connecting dots across a complex global organization.

• High-visibility relationships with senior leaders and functional experts across TI, partnering on issues strategy and executive messaging
• Direct people management experience leading an issues communications team and coordinating with external agency partners
• Broad exposure to TI's public relations strategy and the opportunity to influence how the company shows up in the world's most critical moments

The ideal candidate is sharp, calm under pressure, and experienced - a strategic communicator who thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving situations. You bring equal parts judgment and execution: you know how to counsel a senior executive, write a tight statement on deadline, and run a triage process all in the same day. You build trust quickly with leaders, colleagues, and agency partners alike, and you understand that protecting a company's reputation requires both preparedness and agility.
