- Bring a measurement mindset to communications work to track engagement, gather feedback, and use data to refine approach
- Contribute to communications governance; help build and maintain best practices, ways of working, and process infrastructure that makes the team more effective
- Participate in team rotation across core communications accountabilities, developing well-rounded expertise across channels and content types
- Actively experiment with and adopt AI tools (embe) to enhance drafting, content development, and workflow efficiency. Experience with embedded tools in Adobe Design Suite, Canva, and PowerPoint a plus.
What We’re Looking For:
- 6-10 years of communications experience
- Exceptional writer who synthesizes complex information quickly and knows how to make it land for an employee audience
- Proven experience managing an internal communications program or platform, such as intranet ownership, editorial calendars, and governance
- Self-directed and highly autonomous approach to work
