Job brief
Our Consumer business — weather.com, The Weather Channel app, Storm Radar, Weather Underground, and the advertising business that runs across them — is our largest and fastest-moving. It's where hundreds of millions of people meet the brand.
We're hiring a Senior Manager of Consumer Communications to serve as the dedicated communications business partner to that business. This role is part of The Weather Company's Integrated Communications team, reporting to the VP, Integrated Communications, and will sit with Consumer leadership in New York. You'll be embedded in how the business plans, launches, and leads — close enough to the work to shape it, and connected to the full communications function so Consumer gets the whole team behind it.
The anchor of the job is internal. Consumer is growing and changing fast, and the strategy behind that change needs to be sharpened into something people can repeat: clear objectives, clear expectations for how the organization works, and a through-line connecting the day-to-day to where the business is going. This is the first role dedicated to that work for Consumer, and you'll build it alongside the leaders who own the strategy.
From there, the job expands outward. You'll own the communications strategy for our biggest go-to-market and product moments and define the story Consumer takes to market — bringing a recommendation rather than a menu of options, and keeping launches moving when decisions stall. The external work isn't a separate job; it's the same narrative, told to a different audience.
This role covers the full Consumer portfolio, including our advertising business — so you'll be as comfortable with consumer tech and lifestyle press as with the ad and ad-tech trades.
This is an individual contributor role with high visibility and currently no direct reports.
The impact you'll make
As the communications business partner to Consumer
- Serve as senior communications counsel to Consumer leadership — in the room for planning, honest about what will and won't land, and persistent about getting to a decision on schedule.
- Run a process and approval rhythm that keeps work moving: clear recommendations, clear deadlines, and the confidence to push senior stakeholders for the feedback a launch needs.
- Bring the disciplines together — product and lifestyle marketing, PR, social, events, content, executive visibility, and internal communications — so the business gets one integrated plan instead of assembling it themselves.
Internally — the anchor of the role
- Partner with Consumer leadership to sharpen the business strategy into a narrative people can repeat — pressure-testing what's clear, naming what isn't, and turning it into language the organization can use. The business owns the strategy; you make sure it's understood.
- Keep objectives and expectations unambiguous as they evolve — what people are working toward, how the organization works, and how it approaches problems.
