This is a build moment for the North America team. We are standing up a new editorial function, and developing a rapid-response capability that turns breaking policy news into content within hours.

You understand that a message built for a specific audience does not automatically across the border, and you can say specifically what needs to change. Ideally, you draft comfortably in French and English. You know what performs natively on each platform, and you can tell the difference between content that looks polished and content that actually moves people to act. We are looking for someone who brings ideas rather than waits for direction, and who is willing to make the case for a different approach when the platform calls for it.
