• With the support from peers and leaders, develop and maintain a comprehensive communication and messaging strategy to effectively and consistently cascade key information throughout the department to provide the necessary context to enhance decision-making and collaboration. This will require close collaboration with peers, executive marketing leaders and key stakeholders across the department and company. 

• Administer key functional protocols that are critical to ensuring the department operates in an efficient and smooth manner. Activities may include (but are not limited to): drafting email announcements; technology set up for large meetings; agenda creation; deck facilitation.
