• Partner with senior leaders to create clear, consistent communications around business strategy, priorities, and organizational updates.

• Lead executive communications support for key moments such as town halls, leadership messages, organizational announcements, change initiatives, and crisis communications.

• Create, edit, and distribute engaging content across internal channels, including intranet, email, presentations, leadership messaging, and employee stories.

• Oversee day‑to‑day management of internal communications channels and platforms, including editorial planning, content governance, channel optimization, and basic site maintenance.

• Manage and coach internal communications team support while partnering cross‑functionally with HR, business leaders, employee groups, and project teams to deliver audience‑specific messaging.

• Measure communication effectiveness, maintain communications infrastructure and best practices, and support internal meetings, events, and ongoing process improvements.

Experiences / Education – Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, English, Marketing, or related field.

• Minimum 7 years’ experience in internal communications, employee communications, executive communications, or a related communications discipline in a large, complex organization.

• Strong writing, editing, and storytelling skills, with the ability to tailor messages for different audiences, channels, and business contexts.

• Experience developing communications strategies and implementing integrated plans across multiple platforms.

• Experience working directly with senior leaders and providing communications counsel in fast‑moving, high‑visibility situations.

• Strong project management, prioritization, and stakeholder management skills, including support for organizational change or transformation communications.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and digital communications platforms such as SharePoint, along with experience in communications analytics, channel optimization, and visual presentation development.
