Senior Manager, External Communications

Responsibilities

• Local & Regional Media Relations
• Own proactive and reactive media relations across local and regional markets in the U.S. and in geographies where the company has operations - building and nurturing relationships with journalists, editors, and reporters on energy, business, and community beats.
• Develop and pitch compelling, regionally relevant story angles that authentically reflect each market while laddering up to the company's broader narrative.
• Write and manage the full spectrum of press materials - press releases, media pitches, statements, Q&As, backgrounders, and briefing documents - with the kind of craft and speed the news cycle demands.
• Partner closely with the PR agency to ensure local and regional media activity is coordinated, consistent, and strategically connected - no daylight between the two.
• Serve as a collaborative lead on financial and investor-related media moments - including earnings cycles and significant business announcements - working in close partnership with the Global Head of Marketing and Communications to ensure messaging is coordinated, accurate, and strategically timed.
• Monitor regional media landscapes, track coverage, and provide reporting on sentiment, earned media performance, and share of voice across markets.
• Executive Visibility & Thought Leadership
• Partner with senior leaders to build their profiles as credible, trusted voices in the markets and communities where the company operates - locally, regionally, and across key international geographies.
• Drive thought leadership strategy and execution: identifying the right platforms, developing compelling content, and placing bylines and speaking opportunities that reinforce executive expertise and company reputation.
• Support executive social presence - primarily LinkedIn - by helping leaders articulate their point of view, optimize their profiles, and show up consistently in ways that align with placements, earned media moments, and thought leadership initiatives.
• Prepare executives and subject matter experts for media engagements with sharp briefing documents, talking points, and coaching that gives them the confidence to walk into any room - or any interview - and own it.
• Strategic Customer & Enterprise Communications
• Own the customer-facing communications within those plans - drafting announcements, FAQs, and direct outreach that are clear, trust-building, and unmistakably on brand - bringing the same integrated voice and consistency to these moments that you bring to every other ex

At Lummus Technology, innovation thrives, and excellence is a shared pursuit. When you join Lummus, you are empowered to make an impact and be part of a dynamic team that celebrates creativity, encourages professional development, and fosters collaboration. From our technology portfolio to our global workforce, Lummus is growing at a rapid pace, and we hope that you will grow with us during this exciting time. You'll be thinking alongside the Global Head of Marketing and Communications, anticipating what's needed, bringing ideas before they're asked for, and eventually finishing sentences before they're spoken. If you're the kind of communicator who leads through the quality of your work, earns trust quickly, and is genuinely energized by building something that matters - this role was written for you. You are an experienced external communications professional who thrives in complex, global environments-where scrutiny is high, regulation is real, and reputation matters. You understand how credible, culturally fluent storytelling shapes how customers, communities, policymakers, and regulators perceive a company. You've operated in high‑stakes settings where a single narrative, told well, can materially influence trust. We're building a communications function where strategy, storytelling, and execution are tightly integrated. In this role, you'll own local and regional media narratives across our global footprint, amplify executive voices, and ensure every external touchpoint reflects a consistent brand voice-from customer announcements and earnings releases to CEO media briefings. You won't be an order‑taker. You'll think alongside the Global Head of Marketing and Communications, anticipate what's needed, bring ideas forward early, and help shape direction through the quality of your work. If you're a communicator who leads through substance, earns trust quickly, and is energized by building something meaningful in a highly visible, global industry, this role was written for you.
