This role supports ongoing transformation and strategic initiative portfolio, serving as the strategic voice that connects workstreams, drives alignment, and ensures consistent, effective communication across the organization and its key partners. You will establish communication standards, craft and deliver key messages, manage executive briefings, and ensure the overall program narrative is cohesive, clear, and aligned to business goals.
This high-impact role requires a seasoned communications professional who can operate with significant autonomy across multiple levels of a complex global organization — setting strategy alongside senior leadership while executing with precision.
What you'll do
Narrative and Comms Strategy
- Own communications strategy — org identity, strategic priorities, transformation milestones, and customer outcomes — aligned to Global CEG guidance.
- Ensure cohesive messaging across initiative workstreams, aligning business and operational perspectives.
- Partner with Business Management on an integrated comms strategy across newsletters, all-hands, manager cascades, and LT updates.
- Drive communication planning across all stakeholder groups, from workstream leads to executive sponsors.
- Develop durable messaging frameworks so the team communicates consistently and independently.
Programs and Enablement Communications
- Build and manage a communications calendar aligned to milestones, initiative cycles, and business events.
- Develop a full suite of materials — executive updates, newsletters, change alerts, dashboards, FAQs, and status decks.
- Run a proactive comms program with the OCOO office to keep all org layers informed on AMS and Global initiatives.
- Drive change management (OCM) communications for major initiatives, building adoption and momentum with initiative leads.
- Connect workstreams program-wide so no stakeholder group is left behind.
Stakeholder Engagement and Executive Briefings
- Design and deliver executive briefings that keep VP, GVP, and C-level leaders informed and aligned.
- Advise program leadership on key messages, communication risks, and mitigation strategies.
- Identify external speaking opportunities for the AMS GVP and develop narratives, talking points, and content for engagements (e.g., TSIA, K26, industry forums).
- Create external engagement content for the AMS CEG Leadership Team in a consistent, differentiated voice.
Customer Storytelling
- Partner with Marketing to capture and package customer win stories across AMS.
- Run a repeatable engine that amplifies customer outcomes across AMS CEG, CEG Global, Sales, product teams, and external events.
- Develop internal storytelling campaigns that humanize the transformation and celebrate milestones.
Communications Standards, Governance, and Channel Managements
- Define and enforce communication and documentation standards — templates, tone, branding, and approval workflows.

- Partner with internal comms, HR, IT, and PMO to coordinate delivery across channels (email, intranet, Teams, video).
