Position Overview
RBI is seeking an exceptional Senior Director of Corporate Communications to serve as a strategic communications leader and trusted advisor to the company's most senior executives. This is a high-impact, highly visible role at the intersection of media relations, executive communications, and corporate reputation - requiring someone equally comfortable crafting a CEO narrative for a major earnings event while managing a variety of global reputational issues. What makes this role genuinely distinctive is the level of access and influence it carries. This is not a role that supports the C-suite from a distance - it operates directly alongside RBI's top executives, serving as their primary communications counsel, strategic sounding board, and voice in the room when it matters most.
Reporting to the Chief Corporate Officer, this leader will be the primary communications partner to the CEO, Executive Chairman, and other members of the C-suite, while also serving as a strategic thought partner to the CCO and a close collaborator with the People team on culture and employer brand communications. They will lead RBI's external corporate communications function - shaping how the company is perceived by media, investors, partners, policymakers, and the public.
What Makes This Role Unique
This is a rare opportunity to operate at the center of a high-profile, globally recognized consumer brand portfolio - with direct access to and influence over some of the most visible business leaders in the restaurant industry. The person in this role will shape how RBI tells its story to the world at a time of accelerating momentum for the company. They will be a true partner to the CCO and a key voice on the leadership team - not just executing communications but helping set the direction.
