Business Communications Consultant

Who are we and what do we do?

Corteva Agriscience intends to separate into two independent companies on or about October 1, 2026; this planned separation is subject to multiple conditions, including final approval of the transaction by its board of directors. It is Corteva’s current intention, should the separation occur, that this position will align with the Seed Company, Vylor, at the time of the intended separation. 

The Vylor innovation engine will be anchored in the agriculture industry’s most elite germplasm and transformative biotech. The company will leverage its next generation scientific expertise in disciplines like gene editing and molecular breeding to further strengthen its core business while exploring opportunities to expand to new row crops – and potentially beyond. Vylor will scale these innovations using its leading routes-to-market and by significantly expanding its licensing business. 

As a member of our global enterprise communications team, the Business Communications Consultant will act as the liaison with seed portfolio and seed operations leaders and lead the development and execution of communications materials and projects. The role will also support the North America business communications lead in developing executive leader presentations and materials, supporting activation and execution of communications projects, and leading business editorial.
