This is an ideal role for a digitally-minded communicator—someone who’s comfortable with technology, eager to explore new tools, and focused on delivering content in fast, modern, and effective ways. You’ll be part of a high-impact team that shapes culture, drives clarity, and celebrates the people and progress behind Mars Pet Nutrition.

• 1+ years of experience in internal communications, corporate comms, journalism, or a related field
• Excellent writing, editing, and storytelling skills
• Strong comfort with digital tools and platforms used for internal communications (e.g., SharePoint, email platforms, intranet tools, digital signage)
• Tech-savvy with a working knowledge of modern productivity tools—including presentation software, content management systems, and emerging AI-powered writing, layout, or planning tools
• Experience creating or formatting content in PowerPoint or other desktop publishing tools preferred
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and time management
• Willingness to learn new technologies and adapt to a fast-changing communications landscape
  
  

What will be your key responsibilities?

• Support the Strategic Business Communications team in executing the North American Pet Nutrition Associate communications strategy
• Manage day-to-day execution and maintenance of internal communication channels including intranet, digital signage, newsletters, and email updates
• Manage and track strategic editorial across internal and external teams
• Write, edit, and develop engaging content that brings our purpose and progress to life across platforms
• Partner with internal teams to surface great stories and turn them into content that informs and inspires Associates and pet parents
• Build and maintain a centralized library of internal communications materials—making it easy for the team to find, reference, and repurpose past content like newsletters, announcements, presentations, and talking points
• Recommend, implement, and administer digital communication tools to better serve a hybrid workforce (including manufacturing, remote, and office-based Associates)
• Track performance of key communication channels and recommend ways to improve reach and engagement
• Provide on-site support for internal events, including logistics, communications materials, signage, and follow-up content
• Assist with team operations including budget support (e.g., submitting POs, managing SOWs) and communications planning
• Support ad-hoc communications needs and special projects as assigned
