• Identify, develop, and prepare thought leadership and speaking opportunities for company leaders in coordination with the Director.
• Monitor industry trends, AI developments, and brand-relevant news, and brief the team on implications for our communications.

4. Owned Channels & Communication Tools

• Manage content across internal and external platforms using tools like SharePoint, Teams, and CMS tools for other company platforms and pages.
• Own email campaigns and digital signage, from content planning through scheduling and follow-up.
• Set and model responsible practices for generative AI across the team’s workflows—drafting, repurposing, and analysis—including quality guardrails, fact-checking, and brand voice standards.
• Direct design partners and agencies, and maintain branded templates and standards for simple visuals and layouts.
