Join us to design and evolve how our client communicates and connects with their Retail Store, Retail Customer Care (RCC), and Retail Support employees globally. Your skills with strategy, account management and writing will help design integrated product launch and commercial marketing-focused internal communication and engagement plans.  By assessing team and business needs, and asking questions, you'll frame problems to solve, define goals, and work with cross functional partners towards a final vision.  

Shape holistic strategies with a customer and creative perspective into informative plans that inspire teams to connect deeply with our products, software, and services. The work is grounded in what's needed now (think: the rhythm of a daily news cycle), but also have an eye to what could be. Approach each launch with an audience first mindset and a balanced point of view - empathetic, yet pragmatic, to execute plans that deliver against business priorities.

Responsibilities:

• Synthesize complex marketing and employee program plans to create internal engagement strategies that put the right information in the right place, at the right time, for the right audience.
• Negotiate with partners and business leaders to advocate for your audience needs and influence to reach a shared objective in a highly matrixed organization. 
• Collaborate with marketing teams across Retail, Marcom, and Product Marketing to inform and develop thorough and clear briefs that define what success looks like and how it will lead to action against KPIs.
• Champion the strategic brief with creative and producer teams throughout development and execution.

Experience:

• 8-10+ years developing and presenting communication plans focused on marketing, product launch, and employee program strategies within an advertising agency, marketing organization, or PR environment.
• Possess a strong editorial point of view and writing ability, building key messages for work ranging from commercial marketing campaigns, to product launches, to employee-centered program initiatives. 
• Experience working with international peers and leadership teams to define global communication strategies  and support the needs of geo teams.
• Extraordinary ability to organically grow internal relationships, work effectively within cross-functional teams, measure campaign and engagement effectiveness, and lead through ambiguity in order to produce forward-thinking creative deliverables.
• Exceptional learning agility - ability to listen, learn, and apply insights during dynamic situations - with a global lens.
• BA/BS in Marketing, Corporate Communications, Public Relations, Editorial Writing or related field preferred.

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $58 to $65 an hour. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
