Creates materials for team communication events and leadership meetings; manages team communication sites and works proactively with Agilent communication teams to align messaging, improve effectiveness, and support consistent global communications.

Responsible for providing onboarding support for new hires reporting to the VP.

Understands and fully comply with SEC Regulation Fair Disclosure requirements governing what can be shared about the company with internal and external individuals.

Develop recommendations for new or improved practices, tools, and procedures to address business needs and team escalations.
