đź’ˇYour role in a nutshell:

As our Employer Branding & Communication Specialist, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to step into a brand-new role and unleash your creativity! Your first three months will be an adventure in discovery as you dive deep into the channels we use to communicate. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make sense of the communication chaos that sometimes leaves people scratching their heads.

Your job will be to sift through the noise, propose how we can streamline and make our communications more relevant, and come up with actionable recommendations that are both creative and feasible.
