We continue to make progress on our growth acceleration plan, so candidates with business transformation, M&A and/or change management experience are preferred. We believe that by focusing on People and Purpose, the outcome is stronger Performance. This candidate should have a track record for human-centered storytelling and building the relationships and results that influence corporate culture, belonging and community impact. Experience in the retail and/or consumer packaged goods industry is a plus, as well as a background in internal communications, journalism, PR and/or marketing.
