• Translate executive decisions, business updates, and company milestones into clear, engaging internal narratives - before they become external news
• Draft, edit, and distribute memos, announcements, and leadership communications to global employees - including outside standard business hours, unexpectedly when news arises and on weekends to account for time zone differences across regions

• Manage the internal communications editorial calendar in coordination with the broader Corporate Communications team calendar
