About The Company:
Our client is an established global organization providing specialized testing, quality, and professional services that support consumer health and safety.

Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced HR Communications Specialist to partner closely with HR and executive leadership during a period of growth, acquisitions, and organizational change. This position will be responsible for developing thoughtful communication strategies, creating executive-level content, and ensuring employees receive clear and consistent messaging throughout major business initiatives.
The ideal candidate is a highly polished communicator who enjoys building programs, creating structure in fast-moving environments, and translating complicated business information into messaging that resonates with employees at all levels. This individual should be comfortable operating as a trusted advisor to senior leadership while also owning the hands-on development and execution of communications.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop communication strategies supporting mergers, acquisitions, organizational changes, and broader business transformation efforts.
- Create comprehensive communication plans tied to HR initiatives, employee engagement, and company-wide priorities.
- Serve as a strategic communications partner to HR executives and other senior business leaders.
- Turn complex organizational information into concise, engaging, and easy-to-understand employee communications.
- Draft executive messaging, leadership presentations, talking points, FAQs, announcements, and other internal communication materials.
- Oversee communication initiatives from initial planning and stakeholder discussions through content creation and final distribution.
- Collaborate with HR, business leaders, and cross-functional partners to maintain consistent messaging across the organization.
- Support communications surrounding key HR programs, including benefits and open enrollment initiatives.
- Help establish processes, communication standards, and tools that strengthen the overall internal communications function.
- Review employee feedback and engagement indicators to determine communication effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Public Relations, Marketing, Business, or a related discipline; equivalent professional experience may also be considered.
- 8+ years of progressive experience within corporate communications, internal communications, executive communications, or a related function.
- 5+ years of experience developing high-level written communications for diverse employee and leadership audiences.
- Demonstrated experience supporting communications related to mergers and acquisitions, integrations, organizational transformation, or significant change initiatives.
- Strong executive presence with the ability to advise and collaborate with senior-level stakeholders.
- Exceptional writing, editing, and message-development skills with strong attention to audience, tone, and detail.
- Experience within testing, inspection, certification, professional services, food safety, life sciences, manufacturing, or another complex/global business environment is strongly preferred.
- Ability to work independently, navigate ambiguity, and create structure within a rapidly changing organization.
- Creative and strategic mindset with the ability to identify new approaches to employee communication and engagement.
Perks:
- High-visibility role with direct exposure to senior and executive leadership.
- Opportunity to have a meaningful impact during a period of growth and transformation.
- Significant involvement in M&A, integration, and change-management communications.
- Ability to help build and improve communication processes rather than simply maintain existing programs.
- Exposure to a large, global organization and cross-functional initiatives.
