Senior Director, Corporate Communications

HALO is seeking a Leader of Communications to build and lead a more intentional, enterprise-wide communications function that strengthens alignment, clarity, and execution across the organization.

• Bring structure and clarity to complex or ambiguous situations, helping leaders communicate change with confidence and consistency. 

Content, messaging, and storytelling

• Develop messaging frameworks, talking points, presentation narratives, FAQs, and communication assets that help leaders and teams communicate effectively.
• Ensure messages are aligned to HALO’s brand, voice, and strategic direction.
• Translate complex business topics into concise, compelling, and audience-appropriate content.
• Raise the overall standard of communication quality across the organization through strong editing, coaching, and message discipline.
