Vice President, HR​/Recruitment

Fleishman Hillard's Talent + Transformation team is not a team of traditional employee communications experts. We are change communications specialists. Our work is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: people are what power successful transformations — in many ways, they are the business. So we go beyond informing employees. We help organizations move people from awareness to action, shifting what they think, feel and do to achieve outcomes that actually matter to the business.

We work at the intersection of strategy, human behavior and communications, helping organizations navigate some of the most complex, high-stakes moments a company can face: mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, cultural overhauls, digital transformations and more. If you've spent your career doing this kind of work — and you're energized by the challenge of getting entire organizations moving in the same direction — this role was built for you.

Fleishman Hillard values the importance of impact and inclusion to strengthen the bonds between us, grow our people and create spaces for everyone to thrive. We stay true to our commitment to our people and the communities in which we live and work. As part of our ongoing effort to be the world’s most inclusive agency, we are committed to seeking candidates who possess and demonstrate a profound interest in furthering our impact and inclusion goals.

We have an immediate opening for a Vice President to join our Talent + Transformation team at Fleishman Hillard's global headquarters in St. Louis, Mo. This is a mid-to-senior level role for a practitioner who has built their career at the intersection of change management and strategic communications — someone who understands that the hardest part of any transformation isn't the strategy;

it's the people.

The right candidate has done this work and knows what it takes to move an organization through change — not just communicate about it. They understand resistance, they know how to build a compelling change narrative, they know how to equip leaders and managers to carry that narrative forward and they know how to measure whether any of it is working.

This is not a role for a generalist who has touched change communications. This is a role for someone who has made it their specialty.

• Lead change communications strategy for clients navigating significant business transformations — including mergers and acquisitions, integrations, spinoffs and IPOs, restructurings, reductions in force, leadership transitions, function transformations, culture and values programs, and more. You won't just advise; you'll build and execute.
• Help organizations move employees from awareness to action. Our engagement model follows a clear continuum — from employees simply hearing about a change, to genuinely believing in it, to living it every day. You'll design and manage communications programs that move people along that journey, deliberately and measurably.
• Develop change narratives and key message frameworks that are honest, human and grounded in the "why."
• Equip leaders and managers to communicate through change with confidence and credibility.
• Conduct audience and sentiment analysis to understand where employees are, what they need and which communications approaches will actually reach them — not just inform them.
• Build and oversee integrated, multichannel communications plans that apply channel discipline, prioritize quality over volume and are deliberately targeted to the right audiences at the right moments in the change journey.
• Create listening and measurement mechanisms that give clients real insight…
