Job Description
Role overview: The Senior Manager, Employee Crisis and Safety Communications, is the go-to leader for communications guidance when our employees are experiencing natural disasters, social unrest, and other situations where employee safety and wellbeing may be endangered or compromised.
This role is responsible for developing and implementing communication strategies to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our employees during crises, as well as overseeing physical security, safety, and workplace communications for our 50+ workplace locations globally. This role requires meaningful experience in crisis communications and will involve supervising a team member responsible for general safety and security and workplace communications. And while we do everything we can at ServiceNow to help you establish the work/life balance that’s right for you – and you have the partnership/coverage of a global team – this role requires being reachable beyond Monday to Friday. Crises don’t always happen during business hours, unfortunately.
Yet, those incidents mean you get to forge a partnership with incredibly talented cross-functional Incident Management Teams comprising Safety, Intelligence, Workplace Services, Global People Care, Digital Technology, Global Impact, and Business Continuity Management – plus any significantly impacted business partners. These partnerships are vital to your success in the role, as well as to upholding Our People Pact, which means you get to have direct impact on keeping our business humming, and our employees informed, safe, and cared for.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Knowledge of and familiarity with the technology industry, B2B companies a plus
