Senior Manager, Strategic Transformation Communications

Core responsibilities:

• Develop and execute a comprehensive internal communications strategy that supports the Transformation Agenda, crafting the "Transformation Narrative" that connects discrete initiatives into a cohesive story about Heifer's future
• Treat communication as a living, iterative process — continuously read how change is landing across the organization, surface patterns of confusion or momentum, and adapt the Transformation Narrative in real time
• Design, write, and co-create high-quality strategic transformation content across all internal channels and formats including town hall scripts, email communications, intranet articles, video scripts, and presentations
• Facilitate the articulation of Heifer's transformation architecture and journey for external audiences—partners, funders, and sector peers—positioning it as a credible, learnable example of integrated transformation

This role creates positive change by leading the communication strategy that enables Heifer International's transformation from a traditional hierarchy to a Regenerative Networked Organization, helping to build inclusive, resilient economies so communities can develop effective ways to end global hunger and poverty in a sustainable way.

Required skills and qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree required plus 10 years of experience in internal communications, corporate strategy, or change management roles (or 14 years of relevant experience without a degree)
• Minimum 7 years managing communications projects and proven experience supporting organizational change initiatives or complex transformation projects
• Strong portfolio demonstrating complexity reduction (specific examples of turning complex strategy or change initiatives into clear, engaging content for internal audiences)
• Cultural Intelligence (CQ) with deep sensitivity to cultural nuances and power dynamics, ensuring communications empower rather than extract
• Network & Agile Mindset: comfortable working in sprints, pivoting quickly, and connecting people across silos rather than just reporting through chain of command

Compensation and benefits:

• U.S. salary range: $96,799 - $125,000 annually (global position with country-specific pay scales for candidates outside the U.S.)
• Health and wellness benefits including Flexible Spending Account and/or Health Saving Account
• Employee assistance program
• 403(b) retirement plan with employer match up to 4% + 3% discretionary contribution
• 22 vacation days plus 12 statutory/discretionary holidays and 10 sick days per year

• Professional development and annual merit increase opportunities
• Optional critical illness insurance, legal assistance plan and pet protection
