Senior Communications Strategist

You’ll join our eight-person Corporate Communications team, working alongside a fellow Communications Strategist who focuses on external channels. Your focus will be about 70% internal communications, ensuring our 400+ staff across multiple offices have the clarity and connection they need, while spending roughly 30% of your time supporting external projects as a thought partner and second set of eyes on high-visibility content. The pace of internal work will ebb and flow with major initiatives—during peaks you’ll lead the way, and during quieter periods you’ll pivot to support external priorities.

You’ll help staff navigate change, build clarity across offices, and share stories that strengthen connection and culture. You’ll also play a key role in helping staff use our brand tools and templates so their communications look consistent and professional. In this role, you will:
