  • Advise public company executives and leadership teams on social media best practices, stakeholder communications, and reputation management
  • Identify opportunities to elevate client visibility through media coverage, industry events, awards, speaking engagements, and social platforms
  • Monitor industry trends, competitive activity, and emerging issues to inform communications strategy and identify opportunities for clients
  • Track, measure, and report on communications and social media performance
  • Manage multiple client accounts while ensuring high-quality execution and client service
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to department processes and best practices

Qualifications:
