Job Description
The Senior Communications Advisor, Executive Visibility and Voice partners closely with senior executives to elevate the enterprise brand and protect corporate reputation through strategic speaking engagements, earned media, social media, and high-impact events. This role operates at the intersection of strategy, storytelling and execution, calling for a versatile communicator who can adapt to what the moment demands while maintaining clarity, credibility, and momentum. The position is responsible for crafting compelling executive messaging and communications deliverables—including C-suite presentations, speeches, keynotes, video scripts, and digital content—for internal and external audiences.
Acting as a trusted advisor, the role influences and guides executive engagement to ensure alignment with enterprise-wide communications strategies, identifies and secures high-profile speaking opportunities, and leads complex, multi-channel communications plans.

We are looking for versatile communicators who can move fluidly between long-term narrative development and rapid response, applying discernment to decide not just what to say, but when and how best to say it.

- Deliver clear, compelling, and audience-appropriate communications across written, spoken, digital, and social channels.
