Dive into our corporate departments, learn what makes Bon Appétit tick, and become a true expert in our industry, our market, and what sets us apart.

Shape Our Internal Voice:

Partner with our Director to build quarterly communication plans, channel strategy, and editorial calendars. Measure what's working through analytics and pulse surveys. Craft authentic emails, newsletters, decks, webcasts, and intranet content that people actually want to read. Own our weekly internal newsletter, making it a must-read moment for employees. Support C-suite and rapid-response communications when the moment calls for it.

Bring People Together

A track record of clear, confident executive communications, including managing urgent messages within complex organizations
Experience as a trusted communications partner to C-suite leaders and HR teams
A portfolio that proves you can write - emails, intranet posts, decks, newsletters, scripts, all of it
Comfort with PowerPoint/Canva, intranet/CMS platforms (Inkling and SharePoint a plus), and newsletter tools like Contact Monkey
Strong project management instincts and the calm to juggle multiple deadlines and stakeholders at once

Who You Are
You bring creativity to every format and channel. You think strategically but sweat the details.
