Through giving, volunteering, grantmaking, employee resource groups and micro-actions, we help most of the Fortune 100 brands build better cultures and use their power for good.

This role is ideal for someone who has deep experience with executives, knows how to get them on a stage worth standing on, can ghostwrite on their behalf, and is comfortable iterating their POV as the market shifts. Assist in media pitching and build lasting relationships with the journalists and outlets that help Benevity reach new audiences.

PR Agency Management: Assist in the management of the PR agency alongside the Director of Brand & Communications, keeping the agency focused on the highest-value work and holding it accountable to Benevity's standards.

Develop

Benevity's executives' points of view alongside the brand and editorial lead, ensuring every POV is distinctive,



well-argued and grounded in the brand narrative and in Impact Labs data. Ghostwrite articles, speeches and presentations for Benevity's executive leaders, translating their points of view into polished, delivery-ready material in their own voice. Partner with the brand and editorial lead to ensure executive and thought-leadership content aligns with Impact Labs data and research, bringing an external, market-facing lens to how that content is planned and released.

Build and maintain a crisis communications playbook with clear escalation paths to the Director and executive leadership, so the team is ready before it's tested by a live situation. Assist the AVP, Brand & Communications on all external communications, ensuring a consistent, on-strategy voice with press and clients, and crisis communications, helping to develop messaging and response plans that protect Benevity's reputation with both media and clients.

A track record of securing high-quality media placements and speaking opportunities, with relationships across the journalists,



editors and event organizers who matter to the business.

Executive Communications: Demonstrated experience developing executive point-of-view content and ghostwriting speeches, articles or presentations that sound authentically like the leader delivering them.
