• Develop and execute BU-specific internal communications strategies aligned to enterprise priorities, business goals, and operating plans.
• Translate complex strategies, priorities, and operating model and organizational changes, into clear, relevant, and engaging communications for employees.

Change & Transformation Communications

• Lead change communications for major BU initiatives, including organizational changes, operating model shifts, M&A integrations, and cross‑company transformations.
• Partner with Legal, HR, and Internal Communications to ensure communications are accurate, timely, and risk aware.
• Develop messaging frameworks, leader talking points, and rollout plans that enable leaders to communicate change with clarity and confidence.

Executive & Leader Communications

• Counsel senior leaders on effective internal communications approaches, including town halls, all‑employee meetings, written messages, and leadership forums.
• Draft and refine executive communications such as emails, presentations, scripts, and FAQs, ensuring consistency with the company’s voice and values.

Enterprise Alignment & Collaboration

• Partner closely with the broader Internal Communications team to ensure BU communications align with enterprise strategy, standards, and channels.
• Contribute to the evolution of internal communications governance, frameworks, and best practices to support scale and consistency.
• Support major enterprise-wide moments such as All‑Employee Meetings, values initiatives, and priority company events when needed.

Measurement & Continuous Improvement

• Use engagement data, feedback, and employee insights to assess communication effectiveness and continuously improve strategies and tactics.
• Partner with stakeholders to refine messaging, channels, and cadence based on what resonates with employees.

What we value

• 10+ years of experience in internal or employee communications, preferably in a global, matrixed, or multi‑business organization.
• Proven experience partnering with senior leaders and supporting business‑critical change initiatives.
• Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex topics into clear, engaging messages.
• Strong strategic thinking, stakeholder management, and project leadership skills.
• Comfortable operating in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments with multiple priorities and audiences.
