Job Description:

What You'll Do

Support Internal Communications

You'll help craft and deliver content that keeps our teams connected and informed. From drafting articles and leader messages to updating our internal platforms (like Staffbase and SharePoint), you'll help make sure our communications are clear, timely, and on-brand.

Assist in External Communications

You'll help tell Greif's story to the world. This includes supporting the development of press materials, social media content, and storytelling assets that highlight our purpose, people, and progress.

Help Shape Events that Engage

From town halls to employee campaigns, you'll support planning, logistics, and content development for events that actually mean something. You'll make sure every message has a purpose and every audience leaves informed — and maybe even inspired.

Coordinate, Create, and Keep Things Moving

You'll help organize the global communications calendar, coordinate reviews, and track deliverables. Basically, you'll be the glue that helps keep great ideas on track.

Learn the Craft

You'll work directly with the Sr. Manager, Communications, and Sr. Director, Corporate Affairs — learning the ins and outs of communications strategy, storytelling, and leadership messaging.

What You Bring

• A degree (or close to completing one) in Communications, Public Relations, Marketing, Journalism, or something similar.
• A love of writing — and the ability to make complex things sound simple and human.
• Curiosity, attention to detail, and the confidence to ask questions and challenge assumptions.
• A proactive, can-do attitude and comfort working in a fast-paced environment.
• A knack for organization — you keep things moving and on schedule.
• Team spirit. You like collaboration and believe great communication takes partnership.
• Bonus points if you've played around with digital platforms or design tools (like SharePoint, Staffbase, Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, or Flip).

At Greif, your work has purpose, colleagues care about your well-being, and you have the opportunity to grow and thrive. Service and leadership are the core of everything we do. Our global presence provides us a platform to do good in the world.
