About the role

Abbott, a global healthcare leader, seeks a Senior Manager of External Communications to shape and execute an external communications strategy from Abbott Park or Willis Tower in Chicago. You will lead media relations, craft compelling stories, and guide executive messaging across global media and social channels. The role requires 8+ years in content development, excellent writing, and strong relationship-building with reporters and influencers.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
