The Role:

We are looking for our next Head of Communications, Americas. Do you enjoy combining communications strategy with hands-on delivery—from writing compelling stories to organizing town halls and working directly with site teams?

Roquette is looking for a Head of Communications, Americas to bring global communications priorities to life across the region, connecting them with local business needs and employee audiences.

Reporting to the Chief Communications Officer, you will partner with the Americas Country Manager, site teams, regional functions and global communications experts. You will provide communications advice while personally creating content, delivering events and supporting local public relations.

This role is for a communications professional who enjoys both shaping the approach and making it happen.

This position is located in Wilmington, Delaware (Wilmington, DE, US).

Compensation:

The current base salary range for this role is estimated to be $130,000-$190,000. In addition, this position may be eligible for performance-based incentive compensation. The posted compensation reflects the full salary range for the position and does not necessarily represent the expected starting salary. New-hire offers are based on several factors, including relevant experience, qualifications and skills as compared to the role requirements, internal equity, role location, and other job-related considerations. For this reason, most candidates should not expect the maximum of the range.

What You’ll Do:

  • Shape and deliver Group communications across the Americas. Contribute regional insights and stakeholder perspectives to Group communications planning, and turn corporate priorities into actionable plans across the United States and Canada. Adapt and deliver global campaigns and content for local audiences, ensuring local relevance while maintaining consistent messaging, brand standards and alignment with Group communication frameworks.
  • Create engaging content. Write and produce employee stories, business updates, leadership messages and digital content, identifying news and perspectives from across the region to share locally and globally.
  • Drive employee engagement through hands-on internal communications. Develop and deliver initiatives that connect employees across the Americas with Group priorities and regional developments. Create campaigns, organize town halls and employee events, and foster employee dialogue and feedback. Manage and improve regional internal communications channels in coordination with Group Communications and site teams.
  • Advise regional leaders and partner with sites. Provide communications counsel to Americas leadership and HR, develop leadership messaging, and work directly with site teams, business units and functions to support local priorities, employee communications and organizational change.
  • Build external relationships and deliver local public relations. Develop relationships with regional media, industry influencers and community organizations. Identify opportunities to raise Roquette’s profile and thought leadership, create press materials and coordinate external communications around key announcements, events and business milestones, in close coordination with Group Corporate Communications.
  • Lead regional issues and crisis communications in coordination with Group Communications. Prepare response plans and local messaging, advise regional leaders, monitor emerging reputation risks and coordinate timely, consistent stakeholder communications in line with Group protocols.
  • Coordinate delivery and measure impact. Align contributions across the communications network, share best practices. Manage the regional communications budget and agency relationships, where applicable. Use engagement data and stakeholder feedback to improve results and report progress to global communications leadership.

What You’ll Bring:

Education:

  • A bachelor’s or master’s degree in communications, public relations, journalism, business, marketing or a related field.

Experience:

  • 10+ years of relevant experience in corporate communications, including hands-on work in internal communications and public relations.
  • Excellent writing and editing skills, with a track record of personally producing clear, engaging content for different audiences.
  • Experience organizing town halls or similar employee events, supporting leadership communications and communicating business or organizational change.
  • The ability to build trusted relationships with both leaders and site teams, collaborate across cultures and influence without direct authority.
  • Sound judgment when handling sensitive topics and reputation risks, combined with strong project management skills and the ability to prioritize competing demands.
  • Experience coordinating agencies, managing budgets and measuring communications effectiveness.
  • Experience in a multinational, matrix organization and in communicating with site-based employees would be valuable.

How You’ll Work:

  • You will be part of Roquette’s centralized global Communications organization, working with global Centers of Expertise and stakeholders across the Americas. You will coordinate activities and contributions through a matrix operating model, combining independent delivery with close collaboration.
  • The position is full-time
  • Flexibility in working hours may be required to support business priorities and colleagues across time zones.
  • This role is an office-based role in Wilmington, USA, requiring regular in-person collaboration with the Americas Country Manager and regional stakeholders.
