Communications Strategist Responsibilities:- Design integrated communication and engagement plans by assessing team member and business needs, defining goals, asking the right questions, framing the problems to solve, and engaging partners and creative teams towards a final vision.
- This role is part strategist, part account manager, and part writer.
- As a strategist, you live and breathe the audience and customer — from behavioral insights to ways of connecting. You are the master of crafting the strategic approach and framing the problem in order to fuel teams to get to the solution. You synthesize large amounts of information to create plans that put the right information in the right place, at the right time, for the right audience.
- As an account manager, you are an expert in negotiating with partners and business leaders. Your briefs and plans provide the creative team with clarity, leaving no ambiguity about the objective and how things connect. You collaborate with the creative and producer teams throughout development and execution. You’re able to explain the value of digital media, editorial programming, and communication techniques to non-creative audiences, both in person and in writing.
- As an editor/writer, you possess a strong editorial point of view and narrative ability, building key messages for work ranging from seasonal campaigns, to product launches, to employee initiatives. Whether writing talking points for senior leaders or partnering on a script that will move the team towards a shared vision, your storytelling is applied via strategic communications and engagement narratives.
- Creative teams trust your input and guidance. Business partners have faith in your strategic abilities. Executives are confident in your grasp of global sentiment.
- Briefs are concise and clearly defined as to what success looks like and how it will lead to action against KPIs.
- Strategies are shaped with a customer and creative perspective into stories that inspire.
- The work is grounded in what’s needed now (think: the rhythm of a daily news cycle), but also have an eye to what could be.
- You are empathetic and deeply in tune with our audience of amazing and dedicated Store and RCC employees around the world.
- You are curious and perceptive, with a strong intuition, leading the way and driving for results through dynamic change where roles and the work are evolving or ambiguous.
