The Opportunity

As our Director of Internal Communications, you'll lead a holistic internal communications strategy that ensures clarity, transparency, and alignment across our global workforce.

• Partner closely with the CSO and IMO to support the internal communications strategy for M&A integration, ensuring clear and timely messaging for employees.

• Develop and execute change management communications to support employees through organizational transitions, leadership changes, restructuring, and process shifts.

• Help employees navigate change with clarity, ensuring they understand the why, what, and how behind company decisions.

• Identify potential communication gaps or risks and proactively address them through transparent messaging and feedback loops.

Executive & Leadership Communications:

• Manage and elevate leadership visibility, including scripting for town halls, executive updates, and AMAs.
