Communications Director

Benesch · Lenexa, KS · 3 wk ago
Hybrid$60–$80/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Simply Put, A Great Place to Work Benesch..." then "Communications Director Benesch is seeking..." then "Location", "The Impact You Will Have", "What We Are Looking For", "Why Benesch", "Learn More About Pay Transparency At Benesch Pay Range $60—$80 USD", "Equal Opportunity & Accessibility ..." etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the EEO statements, the "Learn More About Pay Transparency At Benesch Pay Range $60—$80 USD" maybe we keep pay range as Pay section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Pay Range $60—$80 USD is specific, so we can include a Pay section with that content. Schedule: location mentions hybrid work schedule with flexibility to work from any Benesch office location; fully remote arrangements may be considered. That's schedule info, so we can include Schedule section. Benefits: "Why Benesch" includes bullet points about career growth, retirement contribution, flexibility, PTO, parental leave, mentorship, etc. That's benefits. So we can include Benefits section with those bullet points. We need headings:

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for "Communications Director". We'll start with maybe an

    About the role? The posting includes a paragraph "Simply Put, A Great Place to Work Benesch is a growing..." That's about the company. Could be About the role? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role description. We have "Communications Director Benesch is seeking a Communications Director to lead..." That's role overview. We'll treat that as About the role (or maybe Responsibilities). We'll need to decide sections. We have responsibilities listed under "The Impact You Will Have" (a list of duties). That's responsibilities. So we can have

    Responsibilities

    with
    • each duty. We have qualifications under "What We Are Looking For": list of requirements (education, experience, skills). That's Qualifications (or Requirements). We'll use

      Qualifications

      with
      • . We have skills maybe overlapping; but we can keep Qualifications. We have Benefits section from "Why Benesch": bullet points. We have Pay section: "Pay Range $60—$80 USD". We'll put that in

        maybe. We have Schedule section: location/hybrid info. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accessibility, etc. So we remove those sections. We also need to remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicate sentences like "Benesch is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. We'll drop. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all bullet points from responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule. Let's extract content. First, company intro: "Simply Put, A Great Place to Work Benesch is a growing, multi-disciplined planning, engineering, and professional services firm. We enhance infrastructure and communities across the country – creating spaces and providing connections in ways that make a difference. We pride ourselves on being nimble enough to remain responsive to client needs yet large enough to offer exceptional bench strength. As a member of our team, you’ll have an opportunity to draw from those resources when you need them and, likewise, contribute your expertise when you have something to share. At Benesch, we are looking for candidates with varied backgrounds and worldviews. We are committed to offering an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for a position if they don’t meet 100% of the qualifications. If this statement resonates with you, don’t be so hard on yourself—apply for the job!" That's about the company and encouraging application. Could be placed under About the role? Might be better as a brief intro paragraph before responsibilities. Since we need sections, we could have

        About the role

        with that paragraph (maybe trimmed). But the instruction says use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role containing the company overview and role purpose. Then Responsibilities: list from "The Impact You Will Have". Let's extract each bullet: - Develop and lead an integrated, company-wide communications strategy aligned with Benesch’s business objectives, strategic priorities, and brand. - Identify opportunities to strengthen Benesch’s reputation, visibility, and market position within the AEC industry and the communities we serve. - Serve as a strategic communications advisor to executive leadership and leaders across the organization. - Lead stewardship of the Benesch brand and ensure consistent application and continued evolution of our visual identity, voice, and messaging. - Lead the strategy and ongoing development of Benesch’s website, digital communications channels, and social media presence. - Develop and execute communications strategies that strengthen employees’ understanding of Benesch’s strategy, business performance, culture, employee ownership, and company initiatives. - Oversee internal company-wide communications and develop effective strategies for reaching employees across offices, disciplines, and geographies. - Partner with executive leadership and internal teams on communications related to company initiatives, organizational changes, employee programs, culture, and other key business priorities. - Partner with technical experts and business leaders to develop compelling thought leadership content that demonstrates Benesch’s expertise and strengthens our position within the markets we serve. - Lead media relations and identify opportunities to increase Benesch’s visibility through industry publications, conferences, digital channels, and other relevant platforms. - Oversee website content, messaging, user experience, and ongoing content strategy in partnership with internal and external technical resources. - Ensure communications campaigns are coordinated across internal communications, external communications, digital platforms, social media, and other channels. - Identify emerging digital platforms, tools, technologies, and communications practices that can strengthen Benesch’s ability to reach and engage key audiences. - Establish measures of effectiveness and leverage communications and digital analytics to evaluate performance and continuously improve strategies and programs. - Lead, develop, and mentor communications team members while coordinating specialized work across marketing managers, specialists, coordinators, and external partners. - Foster a culture of collaboration, creativity, accountability, and continuous improvement across the communications function. - Represent Benesch and the Communications team in industry events, professional organizations, conferences, and other external engagements as appropriate. That's a lot; we will put each as
      • . Qualifications: from "What We Are Looking For". Let's list: - Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, Marketing, or a related field. - 12+ years of progressive experience in corporate communications, public relations, marketing communications, or a related field. - Demonstrated experience developing and executing integrated communications strategies across internal and external audiences. - Exceptional writing, editing, storytelling, and content development skills, with the ability to translate complex business, technical, and strategic topics into clear and compelling communications. - Demonstrated experience advising executive leadership and senior business leaders on strategic communications. - Experience leading and developing communications or marketing professionals and coordinating specialized teams or external partners. - Strong understanding of brand strategy, positioning, reputation management, and integrated marketing communications. - Experience managing corporate websites, digital communications, social media, and content strategy. - Experience developing thought leadership content and positioning technical experts and business leaders as industry voices. - Experience with internal communications strategies and communicating company strategy, organizational changes, culture, and employee initiatives. - Experience with media relations and building relationships with industry publications and other external media outlets. - Strong understanding of communications and digital analytics with the ability to use data and insights to evaluate effectiveness and improve programs. - Strong business acumen and ability to connect communications strategies and priorities to broader business objectives. - Strong leadership, collaboration, relationship-building, and influencing skills with the ability to work effectively across functions and organizational levels. - Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and develop high-performing teams. - Strong presentation and facilitation skills, with the ability to effectively communicate with executive leadership, technical professionals, and employees at all levels of the organization. - Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) certification is preferred. We'll put each as
      • under Qualifications. Benefits: from "Why Benesch". Let's extract bullet points (they are sentences separated by line breaks). The text: "Why Benesch It’s simple. We invest in our people, not just our projects. Career growth that’s real with leadership development, training, and clear paths forwardStrong financial future with up to 9% retirement contribution for benefit-eligible employeesFlexibility that works with schedules that support your lifeTime to recharge with generous paid time off and parental leave for benefit-eligible employeesSupport beyond work through mentorship, hands-on experience, and opportunities to make an impact from day one Whether you’re starting your career or bringing years of experience, you’ll have the support and exposure to grow here. Explore our full benefits here: Click here" We need to parse into meaningful bullet points. The sentences are concatenated without spaces. Let's separate: - Career growth that’s real with leadership development, training, and clear paths forward - Strong financial future with up to 9% retirement contribution for benefit-eligible employees - Flexibility that works with schedules that support your life - Time to recharge with generous paid time off and parental leave for benefit-eligible employees - Support beyond work through mentorship, hands-on experience, and opportunities to make an impact from day one - Whether you’re starting your career or bringing years of experience, you’ll have the support and exposure to grow here. Also "Explore our full benefits here: Click here" is a link/application instruction; we should drop as per instruction to remove application instructions. So we drop that. Thus Benefits section will have those bullet points. Pay: "Pay Range $60—$80 USD". We'll put as

        Pay Range $60—$80 USD

        under Pay heading. Schedule: location/hybrid info: "Location This position offers a hybrid work schedule with the flexibility to work from any Benesch office location. Fully remote arrangements may be considered for candidates who are not located near a Benesch office." We'll put as

        This position offers a hybrid work schedule with the flexibility to work from any Benesch office location. Fully remote arrangements may be considered for candidates who are not located near a Benesch office.

        under Schedule heading. Now About the role: we need to include the company intro paragraph. Possibly also the role purpose sentence: "Communications Director Benesch is seeking a Communications Director to lead our company-wide communications strategy and strengthen how we connect with employees, clients, industry partners, and communities." That's part of role overview. We'll combine. Thus About the role paragraph: combine the intro and that sentence. Let's craft: "Simply Put, A Great Place to Work Benesch is a growing, multi-disciplined planning, engineering, and professional services firm. We enhance infrastructure and communities across the country – creating spaces and providing connections in ways that make a difference. We pride ourselves on being nimble enough to remain responsive to client needs yet large enough to offer exceptional bench strength. As a member of our team, you’ll have an opportunity to draw from those resources when you need them and, likewise, contribute your expertise when you have something to share.

Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for a position if they don’t meet 100% of the qualifications.
