About the Role

The Director, Corporate Communications is a newly created role reporting to the Executive Director, Communications and Talent Strategy. It's a builder role. As PCI enters its next phase of growth, this role will build the corporate communications capability to support it across both internal and external audiences. A critical part of the role will be creating a more Integrated PCI communications model, standardizing and harmonizing how we communicate where it makes sense while preserving the local relevance and uniqueness of our sites.

This is a hands-on role for someone who has done this before and wants to do it again. You'll bring the narrative to life, build the infrastructure, manage the communications tactics, channels and technology, bring in the right partners, and lead the intranet capability. You'll set the strategy and you'll do the work. Agency experience is a strong fit.
