Creative Freedom: Opportunity to design innovative engagement strategies, roadshows, and campaigns across diverse operational audiences.

Responsibilities
Strategic Partnership: Serve as a trusted advisor to program leadership, offering fresh perspectives, proactively identifying communication gaps, and building comprehensive messaging roadmaps.

End-to-End Content Creation: Author, refine, and review high-visibility communications, executive presentations, program updates, and functional change messaging using the MS Office suite.

Field & Operational Engagement: Tailor communication channels and tones specifically for operational/field personnel (such as regional technicians and site teams), ensuring messaging aligns with organizational culture and daily workflows.

Cross-Jurisdictional Alignment: Coordinate messaging strategies across three distinct geographic regions to maintain brand consistency and operational clarity.

Change Specialist Support: Collaborate closely with change management specialists to ensure change impacts are seamlessly integrated into wider program communications.

Qualifications
Extensive background in internal communications, corporate communications, or change marketing, with a proven track record supporting large-scale, complex ERP or enterprise transformation projects.

Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively across all organizational levels, with specialized experience adapting messaging for corporate leadership versus operational/field workforces.

Advanced proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite (PowerPoint, Word, Teams).

Willingness to deeply immerse oneself in company culture, operational nuances, and existing stakeholder communication dynamics.

Ability to travel occasionally for program alignment or regional roadshows, if required.
