communication manager
Communication managers are responsible for developing communication strategies in order to promote the organization's mission, services or product. They coordinate communication projects and manage the communications issued by the company for both the internal and the external clients. They supervise internal communications, ensuring that communications reach each one of the employees and further questions can be answered. For external communications, they coordinate coherence among the messages transmitted in mails, printed materials, press articles, and corporate promotional materials. They strive to maintain truthful communications.
