Honeywell is seeking a Senior Manager, Executive Communications, based in the company's global headquarters in Charlotte, N.C. This is an extraordinary opportunity for an experienced, poised and savvy communications professional, exceptional writer, and gifted storyteller who wants to join a Fortune 100 technology leader and help shape the future.

This individual will work report to the Vice President, Internal Communications and Community Relations, and work regularly with the VP, Communications to craft crisp, compelling messages on behalf of the Chairman and CEO and other C-suite leaders; proactively identify and source content and speaking opportunities for key executives; and contribute to key communications narratives and campaigns.

The person in this role will be a critical contributor to efforts to shape and promote key narratives about the brand and Chairman and CEO's vision for the future of the company and technology. This work requires methodical research skills; meticulous attention to details and how issues interrelate; and a fluid, always exemplary ability to create messages in a way that informs, educates and persuades key stakeholder groups. The successful candidate will think like a reporter, always exploring and pursuing story opportunities that position Honeywell and its senior leaders, including the Chairman and CEO, favorably and advance the company's brand narrative.
