Knowledge Management Strategist
Are you a collaborative, problem solver who thrives in complexity and is energized by evolving how organizations use information? Do you enjoy turning historical context and data into something people can actually use-and helping teams change how they work along the way? If so, the Archives & Knowledge Management team could be the right fit for you.
Archives & Knowledge Management is an evolving function focused on making institutional history and knowledge more actionable across the enterprise. We are building modern systems, standards, and practices that allow historical materials from the archives to be used alongside enterprise data-supporting research, insight-driven storytelling, and better decision-making. At the same time, we partner closely to support Corporate Communications as they elevate the maturity of information management, improving how information is organized, found, shared, and reused across the function.
We are seeking a team member who is enthusiastic about driving change in a growing and evolving organization. This role will lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that connect archives, data, and storytelling; provide governance and direction for knowledge and information management practices; and influence how teams across Corporate Communications and the broader enterprise manage and use information. The ideal candidate is comfortable shaping work that is still taking form, bringing clarity, momentum, and practical solutions as the team and its impact continue to grow.
