Senior Communications Manager

Sr. Communications Manager External Campaigns, Messaging, Voice

Layton Construction is one of the largest commercial construction management firms in the country with 16 offices, eight business units, and a footprint that spans coast to coast. We build hospitals, universities, data centers, resorts, and Hollywood-worthy studios. Each office operates like a mini company under the Layton brand. All need strategic communications support: media outreach, industry positioning, thought leadership, story development, and campaign planning to build and maintain Layton's reputation in their markets.
Our marketing team is strong. We have talented people doing great work. We need a communications leader to tie it all together. That's why we're adding a Sr. Communications Manager to lead Layton's external communications strategy.
You'll own brand voice, messaging, and written content standards across every external channel. You'll partner with business units on strategic communications planning, helping them identify stories worth telling, publications worth targeting, and leaders worth elevating. You'll oversee PR, media relations, and thought leadership. You'll develop and lead the communications campaigns that introduce Layton to new markets. And you'll ensure that everything Layton puts into the world builds trust, validates our expertise, and helps us win work.
You'll Have Direct Impact On:
How Layton's story is told: the voice, the message, and the standard that everything written is held to.
Media coverage, industry recognition, and earned visibility in key and emerging markets.
Thought leadership positioning for Layton executives and subject matter experts.
The communications strategies that introduce Layton to new markets before the first RFP drops.
