  • Translate core messaging into channel‑specific content across social, digital, email, landing pages, and internal channels while ensuring consistency
  • Monitor engagement metrics and optimize content and distribution strategies based on audience insights
  • Act as a trusted advisor to internal stakeholders and senior leadership, navigating complex approvals and competing priorities
  • Ensure all communications reflect organizational brand voice, tone, and visual identity standards, partnering closely with design and digital teams

To Succeed, You Bring:

  • Post‑secondary degree or diploma in communications, marketing, journalism, public relations, or a related field

  • 5–8 years of experience in corporate communications or a related discipline

  • Proven experience leading large‑scale corporate communications programs such as annual reports, and corporate updates

  • Exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to simplify complex topics

  • Strong project management skills and experience managing multiple stakeholders and deadlines
