The team partners cross-functionally to align and amplify messaging, influence external stakeholders, and elevate leadership vision and strategy. 

Responsibilities

  • Co-lead in developing external communications strategy and driving execution for product launches, customer wins and customer success storytelling, and positive corporate developments for the company (awards, analyst report rankings, etc.).

  • Create ongoing outreach programs to establish and strengthen media and other key relationships and to secure coverage through spokesperson interviews and op-ed and byline article placements. 
  • Proactively identify relevant industry and trend topics being covered by the media on which InterSystems can comment and coordinate responses to generate media coverage. 
  • Support the development and promotion of thought leadership and brand-building campaigns, engaging key audiences through multi-channel communications – including traditional media relations, video interviews and podcasts, and event and conference engagement. 
  • Manage -- and forge strong working relationships with -- external suppliers such as PR agencies, consultants, monitoring agencies, and subscription services. 
  • Play an enabling role in the company’s issues response process. Partner with teams across the business to deliver external communications counsel, messaging, statements and FAQ – to ensure clear, concise and consistent messaging across external audiences. 
  • Build collaborative relationships with cross-functional teams, including marketing, sales, legal, product management and others. As part of this, provide communications guidance to regional marketing teams in other markets.

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in InterSystems’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
