Director

Description:

We are looking for a communications professional who loves to dig into all aspects of the work. You’ll need to be able to seek out information to support business goals, distill what you’ve found, create communications strategies, draft narratives and plans, and then implement. To succeed, you’ll be proactive, organized, and able to thrive in a matrixed environment.

You are creative, have top-notch writing skills, but you love a good edit. You enjoy the challenge a tight deadline brings and have the wit and scrappiness to meet it. You love to get into the weeds and help teams translate their expertise for a broader audience. You are flexible in the face of change. You get joy from growing an enterprise that helps businesses and people be successful. You are friendly and bring a sense of humor to all you do.
