How to Apply for Senior Communications Specialist

at Dynapower

๐Ÿข About Dynapower

Dynapower is a power electronics leader driving a resilient, clean energy future through innovative power conversion and storage solutions. As a subsidiary of Sensata Technologies, you'll join a global team committed to sustainability and cutting-edge technology. This remote role offers the opportunity to shape internal communications for a company at the forefront of the energy transition.

About This Role

As a Senior Communications Specialist, you'll serve as a strategic advisor to senior leaders in Bulgaria, developing and executing internal and external communications that align 4,000 employees with Sensata's purpose and strategy. This hands-on role involves crafting key messages, coordinating large-scale employee briefings, and enhancing internal channels like the intranet and newsletters. Your work will directly impact employee engagement and employer branding in a critical market.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a virtual check-in with the European Communications Lead to align on priorities. You'll spend part of the morning drafting a newsletter for Bulgarian employees, then join a strategy meeting with a senior leader to prepare messaging for an upcoming town hall. In the afternoon, you'll review and edit internal memos, coordinate with the intranet team on content updates, and analyze engagement metrics from a recent all-hands meeting.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Dynapower Is Looking For

  • Experienced in internal communications with a proven track record of advising senior leaders and developing strategic messaging for large, diverse audiences.
  • Strong writing and editing skills, with the ability to distill complex information into clear, engaging content for various channels (intranet, newsletters, webcasts).
  • Comfortable working remotely and collaborating across time zones, particularly with teams in Bulgaria and Europe.
  • Knowledgeable about clean energy or power electronics industries, with a passion for sustainability and employer branding.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to Dynapower

1

Tailor your resume to highlight internal communications experience, especially projects involving senior leader advisory and large-scale employee events.

2

In your cover letter, explicitly mention your experience with remote collaboration and cross-cultural communication, as you'll work with teams in Bulgaria and Europe.

3

Showcase measurable outcomes from past communications strategies, such as improved employee engagement scores or successful change management campaigns.

4

Research Sensata's sustainability initiatives and Dynapower's clean energy focus, and subtly weave that knowledge into your application materials.

5

Prepare a portfolio of writing samples that demonstrate your ability to craft clear, compelling internal messages, such as newsletters, memos, or intranet posts.

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your strategic approach to internal communications and how you've advised senior leaders to align messaging with business goals.", 'Experience with large-scale employee briefings (virtual and in-person) and managing communications for a geographically dispersed workforce.', 'Your understanding of the clean energy sector and how your skills can help Dynapower build its employer brand in Bulgaria.', 'Ability to work independently in a remote environment while maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders across time zones.']
