This position is part of a dynamic and high-performing team within Enterprise Communications, reporting directly to the Assistant Vice President and Head of Community Relations. Your primary responsibility will be to lead two significant "human achievement" programs that align with the company's business objectives. One of these programs focuses on supporting small business success, while the other is dedicated to providing fire-safety education to students across the nation. In this role, you will be tasked with developing and executing comprehensive program strategies aimed at enhancing brand awareness and elevating The Hartford's reputation among its customers and the broader community.

Your role will also include managing the company's traditional "HartMob" programming, which connects employees with small business customers through various events, both in-person and online. Furthermore, you will oversee the legacy Junior Fire Marshal program, which provides essential fire-safety resources to educators and communities nationwide. Your responsibilities will extend to managing public relations efforts related to these programs, including drafting press releases, pitching stories, and preparing executives for media interactions.
