• Oversee the development of press materials, including op-eds, statements, Q&As, media kits, and briefing documents
• Identify and promote opportunities for executives and experts to contribute thought leadership in top-tier outlets
• Proactively build and expand the media program offering and cultivate and manage strong relationships with journalists, editors, and media outlets, serving as the lead contact for all media inquiries.
• Monitor the media landscape for risks and opportunities; lead rapid-response communications on breaking issues or emerging criticisms.
• Partner with internal stakeholders - including the executive team and cross-functional colleagues - to develop and drive cohesive communication strategies and initiatives
• Coordinate with digital, social, and content teams to ensure message consistency across all channels.

It also means deeper reach into consumer press, like Live with Kelly and Mark and The View.
