  • Manage channels and platforms: Select, optimize, and govern communications across platforms and tools; apply basic platform/tool knowledge to maximize reach and effectiveness.
  • Use research and insights to refine strategy: Conduct competitive research, benchmarking, and trend monitoring; advise stakeholders on emerging communication trends and proactively recommend approaches to leverage opportunities and mitigate risks.
  • Measure and report impact: Track, analyze, and present results of communication efforts; provide consistent project/status reporting and communicate program state, plans, risks, and opportunities.
  • Drive project delivery: Manage multiple concurrent projects, timelines, and review cycles; ensure effective time management and accurate time reporting.
  • Lead and develop the team: Define staffing needs, maintain job descriptions, interview and hire; coach and develop employees, support performance and wellness initiatives, and deliver performance reviews.
