- PR Agency Management: Lead global PR agency partners to ensure delivery against KPIs and campaign objectives across regions. Manage budgets, performance reviews, and regional alignment.
- Crisis & Issues Management: Own the company’s approach to media response, reputation protection, and comms preparedness. Ensure the company has the right policies and procedures in place and the employee community is made aware of them by partnering with internal communications.
- Integrated Campaign Support: Collaborate with brand, partner, content, and product marketing teams to integrate earned media strategies into broader campaigns and product launch processes.
- Analyst and Influencer Engagement: Work closely with the AR team to coordinate messaging consistency across analyst and media audiences, particularly in support of MQs, Waves, and strategic events.
- Content Creation: Your team will own the development of strategic narratives, messaging frameworks, Q&As, executive speeches, bylines, and reactive press statements.
- Measurement & Reporting: Establish clear KPIs and measurement frameworks for all external communications efforts. Deliver regular reports to senior leadership and functional partners.
