  • Interface and cultivate relationships with the media

  • Manage external communications vendors

  • Develop strategy for all important press announcements and ensure messaging is aligned across all channels, internally and externally

  • Manage the coverage of press-centric events, activations and community outreach

  • Work with the senior leadership on internal communication throughout the company

  • Pitch quarterly market reports externally and communicate them internally

  • Oversee budgets and timelines

  • Seek out and communicate important ongoings from Compass affiliates and strategic partners

  • Keep up-to-date on new platforms for possible partnerships to extend our reach


What We Look For:



  • 8+ years of experience managing communications either internally or at an agency

  • Excellent oral and written communicator who can effectively present the Compass brand and vision to various stakeholders

  • Comprehensive knowledge of media landscape

  • Strong understanding of various social media platforms
