You will be responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive communications and positioning strategy for the CEO and Executive Leadership Team. Key responsibilities include:

• Coordinating speaking engagements and tailoring key messages to specific audiences
• Working closely with Corporate Communications to ensure alignment between CEO positioning and broader company communications strategy
• Coordinating with Public Affairs and internal stakeholders on communications intersecting with political, institutional, or regulatory topics
