· Measure communications effectiveness using employee feedback and data, adjust plans to improve impact, and lead and develop one communications team member while strengthening structure, discipline, and proactive planning within the function.

Requirements:

· Bachelor’s degree and 18+ years of progressive experience in corporate, internal, or strategic communications, ideally within biotech or life sciences.
