GitLab, meet your next Communications and Engagement Associate
You’re looking for someone who can “create and executive a variety of different communications and plans to keep team members informed and engaged.” You need a communicator who can “shape communications for a variety of internal audiences”, someone who “thrives in a cross-collaborative environment.” You want someone who can be a “shining example for Gitlab’s culture.”
In short, you need someone who embodies the Tanuki spirit. I think that could be me! Let’s see if I might be a good fit.

A Thoughtful Communicator
I’ve helped organizations like The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Point B Consulting, and McKinsey & Company promote a variety of internal communications, including blogs, high-level values messaging, how-to content, talent acquisition collateral, and internal guidelines.

Internal Culture Experience
When Splunk was looking to completely revamp its talent brand, I led the content strategy, copywriting, and UX/UI efforts to match their new brand positioning. We overhauled the career site, refocused our content marketing efforts, and rejuvenated every candidate communication.

A Knack for Explanation
If you want to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create the software that powers our world, you’ll need someone who knows how to meet people where they are. I’ve strategized, conceived, written, directed, and account-managed over 100 explainer videos for dozens of clients and a wide variety of audiences.

An E-learning Veteran
I was proud to work with SMEs from one of the “big 3” consulting firms to help them produce 13 e-learning courses that were used by dozens of Fortune 1000 organizations across the globe. While I can’t share the work online, I’d be happy to discuss my approach on a call or in person.

Bringing Your Values to Life
Collaboration. Results. Efficiency. Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging. Iteration. Transparency. You’re looking for someone who can live those values every day. See how I embodied my company’s values by directing a not-so-hostile agency takeover, going from junior copywriter to CEO, all in a single day.
