Communications Director

Private Equity–Backed Field Services Company

We're partnering with a growing, private equity–backed field services organization to find their next Communications Director. This is a newly elevated, senior-level role for someone who wants to build an enterprise internal communications function from the ground up — not just execute someone else's playbook.

About the Role
This company operates at scale across the country, with a large, distributed workforce spanning multiple functions, geographies, and levels. As Communications Director, you'll set the vision, governance, and enterprise approach for internal communications and employee engagement — translating company strategy and business priorities into clear, compelling messaging that reaches every corner of the organization.

You'll serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, guiding senior stakeholders through sensitive and highly visible initiatives, and ensuring communication that informs, inspires, and unites employees around shared goals.

What You'll Do

Own the enterprise internal communications strategy, operating model, and annual communications priorities in alignment with business objectives

Direct the internal editorial calendar to ensure timely, consistent communication across audiences and platforms

Lead the development of executive messaging platforms and provide strategic counsel to senior leaders for company-wide announcements, town halls, and change initiatives

Oversee enterprise change communications plans — stakeholder alignment, message architecture, leader toolkits, and adoption support

Partner with HR to drive initiatives that celebrate employee contributions and foster a culture of inclusion and recognition

Sponsor programs that bring company values to life through storytelling, events, employee spotlights, and advocacy campaigns

Establish and evolve two-way communication practices — town halls, AMAs, pulse surveys, and listening channels that inform leadership decisions

Launch and manage multimedia channels, including internal podcasts, video, and newsletters

Direct communication platforms (intranet, Teams, SharePoint, etc.) and drive innovation in content delivery and engagement tracking

Lead and develop a communications team, and manage external partners, agencies, and vendors as needed

Define and monitor engagement metrics and reporting to measure reach, sentiment, and effectiveness

Build an internal influencer program that empowers employees as storytellers and cultural champions

Serve as a brand and messaging steward, ensuring consistency and clarity across all internal channels

What You Bring

10+ years of progressive experience in corporate, internal, employee, executive, or change communications — preferably in a B2B or enterprise setting

Bachelor's degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, or related field; Master's degree a plus

Proven experience advising executives and influencing senior stakeholders on high-impact internal communications programs

Track record leading enterprise communications programs and establishing governance across a large organization

Experience managing digital content platforms and internal media (podcasting, video series)

Strong understanding of employee engagement, organizational culture, and change management principles

Experience leading or managing communications professionals, agencies, vendors, and budgets

Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills across multiple formats and tones

Comfort managing complex, high-visibility projects in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment

Experience in field services, or a related service industry is a plus
