Reporting to the Director of Executive and People Communications, this role will support high-priority companywide initiatives, leadership meetings, global town halls, business updates, and major enterprise events with clear messaging, strong executive engagement, and thoughtful cross-functional coordination.

This role is a blend of executive communications and large-scale corporate meeting production, with a focus on driving the content strategy, narrative arc, agenda, speaker preparation, and overall content flow for high-visibility leadership meetings and employee forums. Focused primarily on executive and enterprise communications, the role may also support people-related initiatives when they connect to broader company priorities.

The ideal candidate is a strategic communicator, strong writer, and experienced content producer with executive presence, experience working with senior leaders, and the ability to develop agendas, speaker prep, content, scripts, briefing materials, run-of-show inputs, and messaging frameworks for important leadership moments. They should also bring a builder’s mindset, using AI and emerging tools to create more efficient, repeatable, and effective communications systems.

Responsibilities

  • Support executive communications for key companywide initiatives, ensuring leaders are equipped with clear, consistent, and compelling messaging that connects enterprise priorities to employee understanding and action.
  • Help produce and support major enterprise-wide leadership communications moments, including multi-day senior leadership meetings, global town halls, executive forums, and other high-visibility internal events.

  • Develop agendas, speaker briefs, executive prep materials, run-of-show inputs, key messages, leader talking points, scripts, Q&A, and post-event communications for major leadership and employee engagement forums.
  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders and event leads to ensure leadership meetings and enterprise forums have a clear narrative arc, strong speaker preparation, well-developed content, and messaging that reinforces business priorities and leadership alignment.
  • Create executive-ready materials, including talking points, leader messages, presentations, scripts, Q&A documents, briefing materials, internal announcements, employee-facing narratives, and leader toolkits.
  • Apply AI and automation thoughtfully to improve communications operations, including content development workflows, message versioning, knowledge management, measurement, stakeholder coordination, and executive prep processes.
  • Serve as a trusted communications advisor who can anticipate needs, identify risks, simplify complexity, and help leaders communicate with clarity, credibility, and authenticity.
  • Manage multiple priorities at once, often across fast-moving initiatives, while maintaining high standards for quality, accuracy, discretion, and stakeholder experience.
  • Use data, feedback, and employee insights to evaluate communications effectiveness and continuously improve programs, channels, meetings, messaging, and leader engagement.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in executive communications, internal communications, corporate communications, employee communications, change communications, leadership communications, corporate event content production, or a related field.
  • Experience planning and driving enterprise-wide initiatives, transformation efforts, business priorities, or cross-functional programs with high visibility and business impact.
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills, with the ability to make complex business topics simple, compelling, and employee-relevant.
  • Experience supporting senior executives and preparing leaders for companywide forums, employee meetings, leadership engagements, global town halls, business updates, and organizational change moments.
  • Strong experience producing leadership communications programs and large corporate meetings, including agenda development, content flow, speaker preparation, presentation content, talking points, scripts, briefing materials, Q&A, run-of-show inputs, and follow-up communications.
  • Experience supporting large-scale leadership meetings, executive forums, or internal events, with the ability to connect event objectives, business priorities, audience needs, and executive messaging into a cohesive content strategy.
  • Ability to build trusted relationships across functions and levels, connecting dots between leadership priorities, employee sentiment, business needs, and organizational context.
  • A strategic mindset combined with strong operational discipline; you can define the communications approach and also drive the work through to execution.
  • Comfort using AI tools and emerging technologies to improve quality, speed, consistency, and efficiency in communications workflows.
  • Ability to wear multiple hats in a dynamic environment, shifting between strategist, writer, advisor, project manager, operator, producer, and problem-solver.
