About Us
At We. , we've spent decades at the intersection of technology and humanity, bridging the gap between what businesses create and how people experience those creations. We've learned that beneath even the most unruly situations — whether it's a global crisis, an emerging technology, or a sweeping organizational change—lies a simple human need. That need could be for trust, connection, safety, or a sense of purpose. But it’s always there. And it is only by uncovering these truths that we can make real, meaningful progress. Senior Vice President, Issues + Crisis
Organizations today operate in a landscape defined by compounding complexity. AI is accelerating the speed of information and misinformation. Geopolitical tensions, regulatory scrutiny, cybersecurity threats, workforce expectations and stakeholder activism can create business risk overnight. In this environment, reputation is earned every day and tested in critical moments.
At We. Communications, we help leading organizations navigate complexity and build meaningful connections with the audiences that matter most. Drawing on deep expertise across technology, healthcare, consumer and nonprofit sectors, we partner with clients undergoing transformation, helping them understand emerging risks, engage stakeholders, strengthen reputation and communicate with clarity when the stakes are high.
We are seeking a Senior Vice President, Issues + Crisis to join our Corporate Communications team. This leader will serve as one of the agency's senior experts in issues management, crisis communications and public affairs, partnering with clients and colleagues to navigate complex challenges, shape our market-leading capabilities and drive continued growth of the practice. This role will work closely with Corporate Communications and agency leadership to shape and scale We.'s Issues + Crisis offering across North America.
Our Corporate team brings together strategists, storytellers and counselors who thrive in dynamic, high-pressure environments. We believe the most effective communications humanize complexity, helping organizations build trust, navigate change and lead through moments of uncertainty. We work collaboratively across disciplines, sectors and geographies, combining intellectual curiosity, human connection and deep expertise to help clients solve difficult challenges and realize opportunities.
While the Senior Vice President position can be based in any of We.'s markets, there is a strong preference for candidates based in New York City or Washington, DC.
What you’ll be doing:
Lead and grow We.'s Issues + Crisis practice, helping define strategy, evolve our capabilities and strengthen our position in the marketplace.
Serve as a senior counselor to leaders at Fortune 500 companies, large nonprofits and philanthropies, and other organizations facing complex reputation, business, policy and stakeholder challenges.
Lead issues management and crisis communications programs across a range of scenarios, including cybersecurity incidents, litigation, regulatory investigations, executive issues, labor and workforce matters, geopolitical events, public affairs challenges and business transformation initiatives.
