- Use qualitative and quantitative research to propose communications strategies and tactics that resonate with our employee audience
- Oversee crisis internal communications strategies by preparing for and responding to internal issues, working closely with Corporate Communications, Human Resources, and the relevant leadership team to protect Cohere's internal culture and reputation
