Mission

Learn executive communications fundamentals through research and content support

Tour of Duty

Draft your first executive social media content that earns strong engagement

About This Job Family

People in this job family own the corporate narrative—shaping how the company is perceived by investors, analysts, employees, regulators, and the public. From earnings calls and press releases to internal town halls and executive speeches, they craft messaging that builds trust, manages reputation, and aligns stakeholders. Great corporate communications turns complex stories into clear signals.

What You'll Do

Executive communications professionals craft the voice of the C-suite—writing keynote speeches, thought leadership articles, board presentations, and CEO messages that shape how leadership is perceived internally and externally. They turn executive vision into compelling narrative.

  • Learn executive voice and messaging style for assigned leaders
  • Draft social media posts and short-form executive content under supervision
  • Research speech topics and compile background briefing materials
  • Support preparation of board meeting presentation decks
  • Build foundational knowledge of thought leadership strategy and platforms
  • Assist senior writers with fact-checking and content coordination

Every responsibility is an accomplishment waiting to happen. The question is: will you own the outcome, or just do the task?

AI as an Accelerator

AI isn't a skill we call out. It's invisible in the accomplishment but easily visible in the velocity and scale of your outcomes. Here's how people in this role are accelerating their work with AI:

  • Researching speech topics and compiling background materials
  • Drafting executive social media post options
  • Summarizing industry trends for thought leadership angles

The Competencies That Matter

Skills fill your toolbox. Competencies are how you wield them. Three matter most at this level:

1. CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS (2) Strong Corporate Communications skills required at this level.

2. MARKETING (2) Strong Marketing skills required at this level.

3. STRATEGY (1) Strong Strategy skills required at this level.

The radar shows the full picture. These three are where you need to be undeniable.

Your Journey From Here

Going up? Your next Tour of Duty:

→ Executive Communications Coordinator - Executive Communications (L2) "Own an executive thought leadership article from research to publication"

The L1 → L2 gap is about OWNERSHIP: • From executing tasks → owning outcomes • From writing code → designing systems • From asking questions → answering them

These are your stretch accomplishments. Start doing L2 work now. When you can prove it with accomplishments, you're ready.

Going sideways? That's valid too.

Up isn't the only direction. It's your career. You own it.
