About the role

The President’s Office (equivalent of the CEO Office) is seeking a Head of Corporate Communications to lead and elevate TPCi’s corporate communications function. This role will shape how TPCi communicates internally and externally.

Responsibilities

  • Lead internal corporate communications: Enhance the channels, formats, and operating rhythms that connect Pokémon employees across regions to TPCi’s mission, vision, business priorities, and values. Drive employee engagement, organizational alignment, and clarity through thoughtful and impactful communications.

  • Build the corporate brand externally: Define and manage how TPCi presents itself externally as a company – including corporate reputation, employer brand, social impact narrative, and business storytelling – distinct from Pokémon product and brand marketing and consumer communications.

  • Lead crisis communications: Partner closely with People, Legal, Marketing, and PR to strengthen crisis communications readiness and lead coordinated response efforts that protect TPCi’s reputation, credibility, and stakeholder trust.

Requirements

  • Seasoned Communications Leader (12+ years): Demonstrated experience leading and executing comprehensive corporate communications strategies (internal and external) for a dynamic, diverse, multinational organization in significant growth or transformation.

  • Global Leadership (5+ years): Proven ability to lead and guide teams to elevate their skills and capacity through operational efficiency and effectiveness across diverse locations and cultures. International work experience a plus.

  • Platform Builder — Takes Communications to the Next Level: Proven track record of taking corporate communication platforms, channels, and capabilities meaningfully beyond where you found them. You don’t just steward what exists — you redesign, modernize, and elevate it.

  • Outcomes Over Outputs: Operates with a sharp distinction between activity produced (emails sent, town halls produced) and impact achieved (perception, behavior, alignment, and engagement actually moved), using data to know the difference.

  • Operational Leader — Quality and Efficiency in Balance: Runs a communications operation that delivers high-quality work at the pace the business demands. Has great judgement when deciding between quality vs speed with intentionality, rather than defaulting to slow-and-pretty or fast-and-sloppy.

  • Dedicated to Quality: Takes ownership to maintain and promote high standards, looks for new ways to learn and improve, and embraces a growth mindset to seek and apply feedback from others in an effort to continuously improve.
