Senior Manager, Executive Communications - White Plains, NY

ABOUT VEG

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most by challenging norms and fixing the ER experience. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7/365, and created an ER experience that focuses on what our pets and pet parents really need. We’ve done the same for our people (VEGgies), finding a way to say YES so they are empowered to achieve great things, grow in unexpected ways, and find a place where they truly belong.

We’re rethinking emergency care from every angle—from how we run our hospitals to how we support the people working inside them. That’s where our headquarters team comes in. Whether building technology to make our hospitals more efficient, recruiting and growing incredible VEGgies, or bringing our brand to life through marketing, our VQ (VEG Headquarters) team makes it all possible—ensuring our hospitals and people have everything they need to help pets and their families.

VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.

THE JOB

At VEG, we find a way to say YES, so our people can do the unexpected and make an impact in moments that matter. As Senior Manager, Executive Communications, you’ll help bring that same clarity, energy, and purpose to how our Chiefs voices shows up across VEG (with deep focus on the President and Co-Founder’s voice). In this role, you’ll shape high-impact internal communications and turn ideas, priorities, and feedback into clear messages that help VEGgies stay connected to where we’re going. If you’re a strong writer, thoughtful editor, and proactive communicator who can build trust with leaders, create structure in ambiguity, and make executive communication feel more intentional, this is a chance to build something meaningful at VEG.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own executive communications calendar, creating a proactive rhythm across priority leadership moments

• Draft, shape, and manage the revision process for speeches, presentations, posts, podcast content, talking points, and other executive communications.

• Edit and shape materials owned by other teams when they require chief’s approval, voice, or message clarity

• Partner closely with cross functional stakeholders to gather input, manage timelines, clarify messages, and help executive communications move from reactive to planned.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Strong writing, editing, and message development skills, with the ability to turn loose ideas, executive input, and business context into content.

• Strong voice-capture ability, with the curiosity and judgment to learn a leader’s tone, point of view, instincts, and revision patterns over time.

• Executive judgment and discretion, including knowing what needs to be escalated, what can be solved independently, and how to handle sensitive leadership content with care.

• Comfort building through ambiguity, including creating communications calendars, intake flows, review rhythms, content standards, and planning habits where a clean process may not exist yet.

• A low-ego approach to feedback and iteration, with the ability to take edits, guidance, and changing direction without defensiveness and use that feedback to make the next draft or process better.

• Experience in communications, content strategy, internal communications, editorial, speechwriting, leadership content development, or a related area. Executive communications experience is helpful, but not required.

WHO YOU ARE

• Empathetic, instinctively taking a people-centric approach, whether supporting your colleagues or making an effort to understand different perspectives

• Have a sense of humility; acknowledging mistakes, sharing credit with others, and lifting up your team’s accomplishments

• Feel a strong sense of ownership over your work, taking responsibility for outcomes and staying committed to achieving long-term, impactful results

• Curious by nature; you ask insightful questions and continuously seek out opportunities to learn and grow your skills and knowledge

HOW WE INVEST IN YOU

• Competitive Compensation Including $140,000 - $160,000/year + bonus + benefits.

• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits that start on day one, and access to free therapy or counseling

• Paid parental leave, up to 12 weeks at 100% of regular salary, and offering inclusive fertility and family-building care for all types of families

• Unlimited PTO to use for vacation or sick days—however you need it!

• Generous employee referral program, so our awesome people can bring in more awesome people.
