Job description
Key Responsibilities
- Own the corporate engagement plan for Gilead — content approach, publishing cadence, and channel mix — under the editorial standard set by the Sr. Director.
- Manage the corporate content calendar across owned social and engagement channels, balancing planned narrative moments against real-time opportunity.
- Translate corporate narrative and Public Affairs priorities into channel-appropriate execution, working with the internal communications, policy, and functional teams who originate the material.
- Serve as the internal subject-matter expert and day-to-day point of contact for corporate engagement across the Public Affairs function.
- Write creative briefs that produce usable work, and hold the quality bar on what comes back.
- Direct agency partners across creative production and social content, managing scope, timelines, revisions, and delivery against the standard.
- Produce light social assets in-house using established brand templates where speed or volume makes agency routing impractical.
- Brief creative into paid campaigns for the corporate portfolios, coordinating execution with the media discipline owner and agency partners.
- Quality-control creative and placements before they run, including brand safety, adjacency, and format compliance.
- Interpret cross-channel performance and feed insight back into the next flight.
- Work within the media standards, audience targeting approach, and budget allocation set by the media discipline owner.
- Manage the social listening program day to day — directing the monitoring agency, maintaining the queries and competitor set, and running the reporting cadence.
- Translate listening insight into content opportunity and competitive context for the corporate portfolios.
- Surface emerging reputational risks promptly on the established escalation path to Public Affairs leadership and Corporate Communications.
- Own corporate channel performance — engagement, reach, share of voice, sentiment, completion — and report against the enterprise measurement framework.
- Use performance data to adjust content mix, cadence, and creative approach.
