• Experience managing internal communications in a global, high-growth environment, with a track record of driving employee engagement and organizational alignment.
• Experience leading and developing high-performing communications teams.
• Impeccable organization and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders simultaneously.
• Comfortable with change, ambiguity, and rapid iteration — you see opportunity where others see uncertainty.
• Self-directed, with the ability to prioritize and deliver in a high-growth environment.
