Senior Manager, Communications

The Role

Green Thumb is looking for a communications professional who excels at both strategy and execution. This high-impact role will lead critical corporate communications initiatives, including crisis communications, investor relations, business development, and corporate reputation. Reporting to the Director, Communications, this position plays a key role in the communications function.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment and demonstrates strong judgment, agility, and problem-solving skills. This role requires the ability to operate independently with limited direction while knowing when to engage others-working fluidly between heads-down execution and collaborative alignment.

Success in this role hinges on the ability to navigate complex organizations and build relationships and influence at all levels, including executives and senior leaders. The ideal candidate feels comfortable working with many different stakeholders and synthesizing varying feedback and viewpoints into one clear path forward that aligns with business priorities. Exceptional written and verbal communications skills are required, with an emphasis on distilling complex or incomplete information into clear, timely, and impactful messaging. The role requires strong critical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to anticipate needs, risks, opportunities, and impacts. The ideal candidate thrives under quick turnarounds and can juggle multiple priorities without sacrificing quality.

This is a hybrid role. In office 1-3 days per week at our Chicago HQ (River North).
