Position Overview

STACK is looking for a Vice President of Public Relations & Communications to elevate STACK’s reputation and lead external communications across North America (with selective global coordination). Reporting to the Vice President of Marketing and partnering closely with the CEO, President, CCO, CDO, and SVP of Public Affairs, the VP will set strategy and run day‑to‑day press operations, issues/crisis response, and executive communications, balancing measured visibility with strict client and NDA constraints. The ideal candidate blends strategic judgment, hands‑on media craft, and proven experience guiding communications for complex, highly regulated, or contract‑bound businesses.

STACK’s Vice President of Public Relations & Communications will architect a selective, process‑driven media posture (no blanket defaults), drive message discipline on responsible growth, and supervise a high‑performing agency bench to deliver measurable results (SOV, sentiment, message pull‑through, inbound SLAs) while safeguarding confidentiality and trust.

Responsibilities

• Communications Strategy & Narrative: Own the enterprise PR/comms strategy aligned to corporate objectives and market realities. Codify and maintain the company’s message house across power/grid flexibility, resources, and community benefits.
• Executive & Issues Communications: Prepare, brief, and coach the CEO, President, CCO, CDO, SVP Public Affairs, VP Marketing, and other senior leadership for background and on‑record moments; deliver talk tracks, Q&A, and bridging language that respects NDA and client limits. Lead issues and crisis communications: playbooks, holding statements, rapid‑response simulation, and after‑action reviews.
• Media Operations (Selective, Case‑by‑Case): Build and enforce a media decision framework using a risk‑vs‑opportunity rubric, explicit approvals, and written ground rules for background and attribution. Set up a basic system to manage media requests with clear response time goals and a database to track reporter interactions.
• Relationship Management: Cultivate relationships with tier‑one, regional, and trade reporters; maintain a pre‑cleared messaging library and redline lists.
• Measurement & Reporting: Define and track Share of Voice, tier‑one/trade coverage, message pull‑through, sentiment, and inbound conversion; report quarterly to executive leadership. Manage third‑party research (local sentiment pulses) and analytics, using insights to refine strategy.
• Team & Agency Leadership: Lead a small internal team and manage agencies; establish operating rhythms, performance goals, and budget discipline. Uphold legal/compliance standards (NDA adherence; disclosure rules) and document governance (approvals, spokesperson policy).
• Thought Leadership & Owned Channels: Place selective bylines/op‑eds and insights that advance STACK’s leadership.

Competencies

• Strategic Communications Leadership: Sets clear strategy and sequencing; calibrates visibility vs. risk in contract‑bound contexts.
• Issues/Crisis Management: Experienced in high‑scrutiny narratives; crafts tight, factual responses and runs cross‑functional drills.
• Media Relations Mastery: Builds trust with reporters/editors; fluency in on‑background vs. on‑record conventions and precise, quotable language.
• Regulatory & Technical Fluency: Comfortable translating technical and sensitive topics for public audiences.
• Analytical & Results‑Driven: Uses SOV, pull‑through, and sentiment to guide strategy; turns data into action.
• Executive Coaching & Writing: Exceptional briefing, speechwriting, and Q&A development for senior leaders.
