Description

• Develop and implement 360-degree communications campaigns to support the growth of key business units and position Flexport as a market leader. • Partner with business unit leaders to amplify product launches and share expert insights. You will be a trusted storytelling partner for your business units to drive holistic communications and content strategies across channels, including media, podcasts, speaking opportunities, and owned content (such as blogs and newsletters). • Maintain relationships with key business, retail, logistics, and tech media. Our small and mighty comms team works with top-tier media around the world. • Develop messaging, press materials, long and short-form content, and other supporting documents such as executive briefing books and FAQs. • Support internal communications programs such as Global All-Hands and company-wide newsletters to build a positive workplace environment and inspire employees, while aligning with external messaging and strategy. • Explore and pursue thought leadership opportunities for Flexport and its senior leaders, such as awards and speaking opportunities. • Work closely with Marketing teams to regularly update the Flexport Blog and Newsroom pages with relevant and compelling news and content.

Requirements

• 5-7+ years of communications or journalism experience. • Proven track record of devising and executing effective communications campaigns to support product launches and build thought leadership for senior leaders. • An eloquent verbal communicator with superb written skills, attention to detail, and experience collaborating with executives. You write with personality, and you’re not afraid to show it. • A deep understanding of what makes a compelling narrative — both externally and internally — and how to leverage the right owned or earned media channels to shape that narrative. • Strong organizational skills: You thrive in a fast-paced environment, and you know how to manage complex projects, multiple stakeholders and competing priorities to create an actionable plan and get the most impactful work done. • A true team player: you’re always willing to jump in and help out. Flexport is a highly cross-functional company that requires effective collaboration to drive company-wide results. • Bias for action: you have a passion for rolling up your sleeves and getting things done on a small but mighty team. • A "compliance first" attitude to keep our regulators happy and enthusiastic about Flexport since we operate in a heavily regulated industry.
