  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather information, stories, and updates for a variety of internal communication channels
  • Support monthly e-newsletters, Town Hall logistics, and enterprise-wide communications as needed
  • Prepare presentations and materials for a range of internal and external audiences
  • Participate in team meetings and contribute ideas to strategic discussions
