Mission\nDefine and deploy DataOne's communications strategy in the United States, in line with the Group's brand platform and governance, around three objectives:\nIndustry awareness and credibility: Establish DataOne as a recognized sustainable AI infrastructure player among specialist media, clients and the wider ecosystem.\nLocal acceptance: Build and maintain trusted relationships with stakeholders in Vineland and Cumberland County, and secure a stable environment around the project.\nEmployer attractiveness: Support the recruitment and onboarding of US teams in a tight talent market.\nResponsibilities\n1- External Communications and Media Relations\nBuild and manage the US media database: data center and cloud specialist media, national business press, energy and construction press, and regional press in southern New Jersey.\nProduce corporate content: press releases, press kits, talking points, project fact sheets, client messaging, web and LinkedIn content.\nPrepare and support spokespersons (US General Management, Technical Management) before every public appearance, with briefs, difficult questions and red lines.\nLead DataOne's presence at industry trade shows and conferences, and secure speaking opportunities on panels.\n2- Local Acceptance and Community Relations\nMap local stakeholders and keep the stakeholder map up to date: City of Vineland, City Council, planning departments, Vineland Municipal Electric Utility (VMEU), Cumberland County, Chamber of Commerce, residents' associations, environmental organizations and educational institutions.\nDesign the local engagement program: public meetings, open-house days, construction-site information points and a mechanism for responding to residents' questions.\nPrepare DataOne's interventions at public meetings and council sessions, with materials, talking points and anticipation of objections.\nTranslate technical topics (electrical connection, cooling, noise, water and construction traffic) into understandable, verifiable and non-promotional messages.\nMonitor the local environment: press review, social media and community groups, and alert management to early warning signals.\n3- Institutional Communications and Public Affairs\nSupport relationships with state and county institutional stakeholders, in coordination with US General Management and Legal.\nPrepare institutional materials: project presentation materials, economic impact briefs and contributions to public consultations.\nEnsure consistency between public messaging, commitments made during permitting procedures and the project's actual data.\n4- Sensitive and Crisis Communications\nDevelop and maintain the US crisis communications framework: scenarios, decision trees, crisis team, designated spokesperson and pre-approved talking points.\nIn particular, cover the following scenarios: construction-site incident or workplace accident, operational incident or service outage, organized local opposition, environmental controversy, social issue, cybersecurity incident and unfavorable press article.\nProvide communications on-call coverage in the event of an incident, in coordination with headquarters and Legal.\nConduct a post-incident review after each event and update the framework.\n5- Employer Brand and Recruitment Support\nAdapt the Group employer brand for the US market and provide content for recruitment channels.\nDesign local awareness campaigns to support recruitment of technical and operations profiles.\nWork with the recruitment team and US HR on employment events, partnerships with local educational institutions and employee content.\n6- Internal Communications and Brand Governance\nRelay and adapt Group internal communications for US teams, taking construction-site and operations populations into account.\nEnsure compliance with the Group visual identity guidelines and logobook across all materials produced in the United States, including those of providers and partners.\nSelect and manage local agencies and providers: media relations, creative, audiovisual production and site signage.\nTrack the US communications budget and report results according to the KPIs defined with headquarters.\nRequirements\nRequirements:\n1- Education and Experience\nHigher education in communications, journalism, political science, public affairs or equivalent.\nSeven to ten years of experience in corporate communications, media relations or public affairs, including at least three years in a heavy infrastructure sector: data centers, energy, industry, logistics real estate, construction or utilities.\nDemonstrated experience communicating projects to US local communities and elected officials, ideally in a permitting or opposition context.\nExperience in crisis communications in an industrial or construction-site environment.\nExperience working with a non-US headquarters and teams across multiple time zones is a plus\n2- Skills\nExcellent written English, native or equivalent level. Ability to write quickly, clearly and without jargon.\nFrench is a plus: headquarters and part of the teams work in French. This is not a disqualifying criterion.\nStrong public-speaking skills and ability to command a room in a public meeting.\nAbility to quickly understand technical subjects and explain them to non-technical audiences.\nProficiency with content-production and media-monitoring tools, agency management and budget management.\n3- Expected Qualities\nAutonomy: this is the first communications role in the United States and requires building before managing.\nFactual rigor: no public statement should go beyond what the project can substantiate.\nComposure and availability in sensitive situations.\nTeam spirit and respect for Group approval processes.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5710,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Proficiency (C2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Education"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T06:55:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":30,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.66,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":52,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:6","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dataone-communication-director","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dataone-communication-director.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T14:29:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21645,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4459899},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4459899"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdataone-communication-director"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdataone-communication-director"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdataone-communication-director"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dataone-communication-director\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdataone-communication-director"}]}
