Ensure alignment of messaging across internal and external audiences.
Build and maintain positive relationships with key stakeholders, including government officials, port partners, transportation providers, labour representatives, industry associations, and community stakeholders.
Coordinate communications activities with regional and global PSA communications teams as required.

Draft press releases, statements, media briefings, and other public-facing communications.
Monitor relevant industry, business, and community developments that may affect the organization.
