Global Corporate Communications Specialist - Boston, MA or Riga, Latvia Hybrid

As a member of the global Corporate Communications function, the Communications Specialist will help shape how we tell our story—internally and externally. You'll help manage digital content (website, intranet and social media), support brand storytelling, and help execute strategic communication initiatives that bring our purpose to life.

We’re looking for someone who is not only organized and detail-oriented, but also a proactive self-starter and strategic thinker, someone who can execute efficiently while understanding how their work fits into the bigger picture. Success in this role requires strong digital communication skills, initiative, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

This role is based at either the Boston, MA or Riga, Latvia locations, but is eligible to participate in the current Hybrid Working Arrangement program (Monday/Friday remote and Tuesday-Thursday in office).

• Bringing Stories to Life: Assist in the creation and editing of short videos and visual assets for internal and social media use.
