• 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

• Collaborative by nature, able to work across functions and levels

• Comfortable with ambiguity; this team rotates responsibilities intentionally

• Genuine openness to AI tools and how they're changing communications the communications discipline
• Strong attention to detail
