ABOUT THE ROLE 

Help us reimagine how connection comes to life on the warehouse floor. 

We’re not looking for someone to just push messages, we’re looking for a creative force. A builder of experiences. A strategic storyteller who wants to transform the way communication shows up for our warehouse teams. 

At S&S, we’re on a mission to do things differently. We want to meet our employees where they are, around the warehouse, in breakrooms, and during quick stand-ups, not just in inboxes or intranets. From seasonal themes that spark energy (think: “Back to School” style walls or wellness pop-ups) to peer-driven storytelling that brings pride to every role, you’ll have the freedom to bring fresh thinking to every corner of our internal communication strategy. 

You’ll join a small-but-mighty internal comms team dedicated to making every message matter, and work alongside HR and Ops partners who are ready to dream bigger about how we engage our most essential teams. This is your chance to bring best-in-class communication tactics from other industries and adapt them to a world that’s hungry for creativity, connection, and clarity.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Architect frontline communications: Build smart, inclusive communication strategies that meet warehouse employees where they are, whether that’s in break rooms, through managers, or via mobile tools.

• Own the plan: Lead editorial planning across platforms with discipline and creativity, balancing long-term goals with the need for speed. 
• Listen and adapt: Use engagement data, feedback, and frontline input to continuously improve communication approaches. 
• Creative Design: Utilize Canva to create designs (flyers, digital signs, and videos).  
• Write with intention: Deliver communications that are timely, human, and useful—from announcements and talking points to print collateral and intranet content.
