• Analyzing and coordinating participation in strategic external events, rankings and awards that elevate our institutional profile

• Leading communication partners, including PR agencies and consultancies, ensuring excellence and creative output

• Managing reputation data and delivering executive reports with media and social media trend analysis to Affiliate, Regional, and Global stakeholders

• Monitoring media landscape and facilitating internal follow-ups across business areas to ensure reputation action plans are met

• Translating complex healthcare topics into compelling narratives for journalists, influencers, and the general public

• Hybrid work arrangement (3-4 days per week in the office).

Your new department

Within our Brazil operations, the Communications team plays a vital role in connecting our purpose and innovation to diverse audiences—from patients and healthcare professionals to digital influencers and technology partners. You'll work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where your strategic thinking will help shape how we engage with one of our most important markets.

Your skills and qualifications

• We're seeking a reputation strategist with a sharp eye for media trends and the professional maturity to manage complex stakeholder landscapes. You'll bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Journalism or Public Relations (specialization/master's degree in Corporate Communications is desired)

• Fluency in English and Portuguese, with exceptional written and verbal communication skills

• Proven experience managing communication agencies and external partners, bringing out the best in creative teams

• Strong analytical profile with the ability to make data-driven decisions while maintaining creative sensitivity

• High emotional intelligence and professional maturity to manage pressure, crisis situations, and multiple stakeholders across different levels

• Agile mindset with the ability to respond quickly, think creatively, and find non-obvious solutions for complex reputation challenges

• Experience in media relations and organic influencer relations in corporate environments. Healthcare or highly regulated industries will be a differencial.
