- Translate enterprise, business, and functional strategies into clear, employee‑relevant messaging for frontline and manufacturing audiences.
- Develop communications plans to support operational priorities, including site improvement initiatives, growth projects, permitting activities, and environmental or emissions‑related programs.
- Create scalable communications materials (toolkits, FAQs, leader talking points, templates) that can be used consistently across Mexico and U.S. manufacturing sites.
- Provide communications support during site incidents or crises, including preparedness planning, message development, coordination with Legal/EHS, and post‑incident communications.
- Support media relations and public‑visibility activities, including message development, spokesperson preparation, and issue escalation in partnership with global and regional Communications.
- Build and maintain relationships with local media, community leaders, and key external stakeholders near manufacturing sites.
- Support community engagement initiatives, including philanthropy, Vibrant Communities activities, and STEM or workforce‑focused outreach, as appropriate.
