  • Serve as a strategic liaison and manage day-to-day coordination with PR agencies.
  • Support proactive and reactive media strategies to protect and elevate Motive’s reputation.

Financial Communications

  • Partner closely with Finance, Investor Relations, and Legal teams to support major financial announcements and corporate milestones.
  • Draft and refine internal and external financial materials, shareholder messaging, FAQs, and internal briefing docs.
  • Ensure financial messaging is accurate, consistent, and aligned with broader corporate communications.

Reputation Management

  • Monitor and assess issues that may impact corporate reputation, providing real-time counsel and communication plans.
  • Develop and maintain messaging frameworks and holding statements for high-risk or sensitive scenarios.
  • Lead cross-functional alignment for rapid response communications when needed, ensuring consistency and control across channels.
  • Establish playbooks and protocols for risk mitigation and incident response preparedness.
