• Develop and manage stakeholder relations and communications strategies for inter-departmental or university-wide priority initiatives.
• Manage institutional emergency and crisis communications response as needed on behalf of External Relations.
• Support the External Relations portfolio through business and operational continuity planning, news monitoring and information management.
