Transactional Communications are a critical part of the customer experience at Verizon. They provide confirmations, deliver information about products and services, and generally serve as a guide for the customer throughout their lifetime at Verizon. These communications lower call volumes, drive revenue, improve the customer experience and increase loyalty. Working in transactional communications is one of the best ways to get exposure to many parts of the business and understand the inner workings of Verizon.

As a Manager on our Transactional Communication team within the Value Based Marketing function, you will have the autonomy to oversee all aspects of transactional campaign deployment. You will work with business stakeholders across all parts of the business, agency creative, and development teams on strategic and tactical elements.

Most importantly, you are comfortable translating input from non-technical teams into a clear communications strategy and requirement set for our IT teams that will help drive great customer experiences.

Responsibilities include:

• Collaborating with stakeholders to understand business and customer experience objectives, translating requirements into a clear and concise communications strategy (vehicles, cadence, variations, etc).

• Overseeing creative partners for copy and design elements, providing input where necessary based on timing needs and/or expertise on broader business objectives, and keeping in mind consistency in tone, brand alignment, and clarity across all customer-facing messages.

• Working closely with development teams to ensure the communication requirements and design are properly built and orchestrated as expected.

• Working with QA team to ensure the communications meet functional and quality standards,; perform final reviews and approvals before deployment to  production.

• Managing your projects from start to finish, including timelines, deliverables, conflict resolution, and stakeholder approvals.

• Maintaining up-to-date documentation of communication workflow, requirements documentation, Jira tickets, and processes for future reference and audit purposes.

• Becoming the SME for your part of the communications universe, delivering insight and ideas for optimizing programs, understanding how new requests fit into existing journeys, and overall continuous improvement.
