VP, Strategic Communications

ANDMORE

About The Position

ANDMORE is redefining what a market can be, elevating live experiences into strategic business moments for the world’s top brands and retailers. With new leadership and a growing portfolio, we’re building a PR and communications function that meets the moment and helps shape the company’s next chapter. This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-visibility function from day one and to shape the stories, systems, and strategy that power ANDMORE’s future. ANDMORE is seeking an enterprising Vice President, Strategic Communications to build and lead a modern PR and communications function from the ground up. Reporting to the SVP, Brand Marketing (with dotted-line access to the CMO & CHRO), this leader will oversee corporate, internal, and brand PR, reimagining how ANDMORE shows up in the world and how communications delivers value for the business. You’ll join at a moment of real momentum with a newly approved team structure, an executive leadership team that understands the power of communications, and high-impact partners in place. The opportunity ahead is equal parts build and lead: developing the foundational systems (calendar planning, narrative architecture, spokesperson strategy, etc.) while also assembling and enabling a high-performing team and partner bench. This leader will be accountable for delivering against the function’s newly defined ambition: “To build visibility, trust, and relevance with every message, every market, and every moment.” Success in this role requires both strategic rigor and creative thinking, someone who can serve as a thought partner to the CEO, CMO, and CHRO in shaping distinctive, business-relevant communications, while also delivering operational clarity and strong outcomes across the function.
