• Translate business priorities into integrated communications plans, aligning messages with corporate strategy and local needs.
• Build and maintain strategic relationships with key media outlets, digital agencies, patient advocacy groups (PAGs), and other external stakeholders.
• Lead issue and crisis communication planning: prepare issues management plans, reactive statements, messaging platforms and media responses in coordination with Global Media Relations.
• Design and deliver internal communications to inform and engage employees — using townhalls, newsletters, SharePoint/Yammer, and other local/global tools to strengthen employer reputation and alignment.
