About the Role: We are seeking a Global Communications Leader to develop and execute the Gore Medical communications strategy, with a focus on enabling the Gore Medical strategy, equipping leaders, engaging Associates with clear, compelling communications and nurturing a high-performing team of communicators. In this role, you will lead the Gore Medical Communications team, a global team, that consists of nine communicators that are responsible for leading internal Associate engagement communication initiatives and external reputational communications. This role has a high focus on Associate development, partnering with leaders across Gore Medical and the Enterprise while creating a rewarding environment that invites diversity of thought and experience. We are an Enterprise that has always pushed the boundaries of what's possible -- not just through our products and technologies but also through Associate growth and development. As Bill Gore once said, "Every time we learn a new skill, some new knowledge and take on a new responsibility, or a new kind of activity, we have promoted ourselves." In this spirit, we encourage Associates to explore outside their comfort zones and seek opportunities that are challenging and that help them reach their sweet spot and grow their contributions to the Enterprise.

This position will be located at our facility in Phoenix or Flagstaff, Arizona, with the possibility of a hybrid remote work arrangement, depending upon the responsibilities of the role and business needs.

• Undergraduate degree in communications, public relations, or a related field
• Minimum 10 years professional experience working with business strategy and corporate communications in a global, technical, or manufacturing-oriented organization including working effectively with broad leaders
• Mature judgement and experience working on complex, sensitive topics, including the ability to build credibility and build alignment across diverse views
• Strong capability in key message development, writing, editing and influencing skills
• Familiarity with current best practices to engage stakeholders with a variety of media and channels, including traditional, digital and social media
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects and collaborate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Demonstrated experience in creating and maintaining an inclusive work environment with clear understanding of equitable practices
• Demonstrated experience leading, coaching, and developing talent while aligning individual and team interests
• Ability to communicate directly and effectively with Associates to resolve challenges regardless of their role or difference of opinion
• Ability and willingness to travel up to 20% (potentially more to address critical needs in other regions when necessary)

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience in a regulated industry such as medical devices, healthcare, or pharmaceuticals
• Communication experience in key regions (EMEA, APAC, Japan)
• Experience in establishing Global Agency relationships
