Experience

1. Communications Manager

   Shipt

   Jun 2024 — Present

   I currently work on the brand and consumer communications team within corporate communications at Shipt. I manage our \"Always On\" media relations, localized media efforts, national affiliate marketing partnerships and paid editorial work in collaboration with Shipt\'s paid media team, as well as seasonal campaign support. I oversee communication and media engagement for regional and national retailer launches on Shipt\'s Marketplace, working cross-functionally and with external stakeholders. Additionally, I serve as an ad hoc Shipt spokesperson with media and paid broadcast opportunities. Previously, I managed day-to-day story curation and drafting for 14 shopper stories on Shipt\'s Newsroom from May-December 2022, co-lead collaborative Shopper Storytelling Group that engaged cross-functional partners to discuss issues, stories, and projects related to shopper voice at Shipt, and supported operational needs and product-related launches from a communications point of view, including communication plan drafting, writing press releases, and media pitching.
