A role is listed only if it scores 70% fit or higher against your target lanes (AI adoption / transformation and internal communications, director level and up). Everything below that is dropped, not hidden. Apply goes to the employer’s own application page wherever one could be verified against their applicant system; otherwise to the link from the alert email.
Thursday 2026-09-03 run — 8 new matches, one application you made on your own now on the tracker, and the first return from the alert sources rebuilt on Sep 2. Swept Aug 31–Sep 3 in full: 49 threads / 53 messages / ~186 posting slots from Gmail across every sender (LinkedIn saved-search 11 threads / 14 messages / 77 slots; the new Indeed alerts 22; Glassdoor 30; USAJOBS 20; Built In 3; ASAE CareerHQ 19; LinkedIn recommendations 10), plus an Apify LinkedIn sweep — 8 keyword searches, all 8 verified real (199 rows). Roughly 55 at-level titles were then checked on employers’ own systems; 8 cleared 70%, and every one carries a LinkedIn connection check run today. Headlines: Octave — Director, AI Transformation is a textbook adoption seat and genuinely remote (the alert said Alabama; the employer’s posting says Remote); Synchrony — VP, Head of AI Enablement reports to the Chief AI Officer at $170K–$290K and reads like your AARP job, with one question to ask first (whether Maryland is near a “Hub”); Sun Chemical is remote at $200K–$260K; and AstraZeneca — Director, US Oncology Internal Communications in Gaithersburg closes Sep 14 and is the only new tile with a 1st-degree connection inside the company (Michelle Michael Rogers, Senior Director). Sony Pictures is on the board with a location chip purely for your film-and-AI interest. Killed at the source with the sentence that did it: Avalere Health requires “significant experience in pharma or life sciences”; WWF wants an OD&L practitioner “specifically”; Bullish wants “a track record of personally building and shipping solutions”; Atrium Health is remote but lists Maryland among the states where remote work is not permitted; and a run of excellent content matches — Salesforce’s COFO change lead, Gap’s OCM Senior Director, Cloudflare exec comms, Zscaler P&C comms, UChicago Booth’s AI Executive Director, Easterseals SoCal’s VP Internal Comms — all died on on-site or hybrid outside the corridor. Worth one recruiter question, not boarded: OneMain Financial — Head of Communications ($250K–$275K, posted New York only with no arrangement stated; OneMain runs a Baltimore corporate office). Tracker: Breakthru Beverage — Director, Corporate Communications was applied to Sep 2 and has come off this board. Sources: Indeed is live and produced the AstraZeneca tile; ACMP, PRSA, Idealist and Chronicle have sent nothing usable yet; USAJOBS is still firing “Hello Patricia” digests despite the archive. And the fact that matters most: still no interview, screen or recruiter email from anyone in 14 days — but on LinkedIn, Daniel Connelly at Novartis offered a Thursday-afternoon chat and has not answered your reply; that is today. Second full sweep of the day, 18:52 UTC: Gmail Aug 31–Sep 3 re-read end to end (36 threads / 41 messages / 169 posting slots) and a fresh 8-search Apify LinkedIn sweep (200 rows, 112 distinct, all 8 searches verified real) — no additional matches cleared 70%. Two survivors were checked on their employers’ own systems and both dropped: Pacvue — VP, AI Strategy & Delivery ($250K–$310K, remote) is a product org, not adoption — “This is a customer-facing role”, owning production ML and Data Science under the Chief Product Officer; and APG Federal Credit Union — VP, Emerging Technologies (Edgewood MD, drivable, $128.6K–$231.4K) requires “a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, data management, AI” plus hands-on Microsoft SQL. A calendar badge that read 9 on Aug 22 against 8 tiles was corrected.

Director, AI Transformation

📍 Remote — “Workplace Type: Remote” (Madison, AL is the anchoring address only)
No range in the posting · verified 2026-09-03
Fit
85%

Leads the enterprise-wide AI adoption agenda at a 7,000-person industrial-software company — use-case portfolio, enablement, responsible-AI guardrails and adoption reporting to an AI Steering Committee.

Strengths

A textbook adoption seat, written in your language: the qualifications block asks for “experience leading enterprise transformation, digital transformation, AI adoption, change management, or innovation programs”, “strong program leadership, communication, facilitation, and executive reporting skills” and “familiarity with AI tools, responsible AI principles, and data governance”no degree, no years figure, no headcount, no coding. The work is use-case intake through pilots to scale, training, communications and change management, leadership engagement, tool standardisation and value reporting “with a focus on adoption, behavior change, and measurable business impact.” The LinkedIn alert said Madison, AL; the employer’s own posting says Remote with the #LI-Remote tag and no state list. Verified on Octave’s SuccessFactors careers site, Req 3221 (Octave is the Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence spin-off; its posting still sits on the former Intergraph tenant).

Gaps

No salary range is published — Alabama has no pay-transparency law, so ask the recruiter for the band before investing. Reports-to is not stated (the role “reports regularly to the AI Steering Committee”). Industrial asset-lifecycle software is new terrain, though nothing in the posting requires it, and roughly a quarter of the workforce is in Hyderabad, so expect a global stakeholder map.
Enterprise software for asset lifecycle intelligence in energy, manufacturing and infrastructure; ~7,000 employees in 45 countries.
👥 Who you know: Checked 2026-09-03. No 1st-degree. Best path: Maureen Mack, communications strategist at Octave (2nd; mutuals Matt Glassman, Katherine Bouton) and Chris Spellman, Marketing Operations Leader (2nd; mutuals Danielle Mahoney, Gretchen Fisk).

Fit
84%

Reports to the Chief AI Officer and owns enterprise AI enablement — adoption journeys, employee communications, champion networks, launch kits and adoption metrics across a regulated financial-services company.

Strengths

The closest description of your AARP work on this board. Required, verbatim: “10+ years of experience in employee experience, enterprise enablement, change management, communications, marketing, learning, transformation, technology adoption, or strategic program leadership”; “proven track record designing and scaling enterprise adoption programs for new tools, digital capabilities, emerging technologies, or new ways of working”; “experience building or managing employee communities, champion networks, ambassador programs”; “demonstrated ability to build compelling communications, practical enablement materials, executive narratives, launch plans, playbooks, and adoption campaigns”. Desired: M365 Copilot / Viva / SharePoint familiarity. “Reporting to the Chief AI Officer.” Band tops at $290,000. Verified on synchronycareers.com, Job ID 2602496, posted Aug 28.

Gaps

The arrangement is the open question. Synchrony’s wording is “work from home near one of our Hubs… You will be required to commute to your nearest Hub (either virtual or physical) for in-person engagement activities” — and the posting does not list the Hubs, so whether Maryland qualifies could not be confirmed from the employer’s own page. Ask that first. “VP” here is Grade/Level 14, a bank grade rather than an officer band, though it carries Head-of scope. The posting prefers experience in a regulated environment and requires an FDIA Section 19 background check with fingerprinting and a drug test.
Consumer financial-services company (private-label and co-brand credit) headquartered in Stamford, CT; ~20,000 employees.
👥 Who you know: Checked 2026-09-03. No 1st-degree.

$200,000 – $260,000 · posted
Fit
83%

Owns the enterprise AI transformation roadmap for a global inks-and-pigments manufacturer — a federated AI Center of Excellence, governance, AI literacy programmes and value tracking across a matrixed global organisation.

Strengths

The posting reframes AI “from a technology initiative to a decision-intelligence capability” and its twelve-month scorecard is yours: an endorsed roadmap, two or three use cases scaled, a governance and CoE operating model live, and measured literacy and adoption gains. Required lines you clear outright: “10+ years of progressive experience in business / strategy transformation, leveraging technology and data capabilities”, “working knowledge of AI governance, data privacy, and ethical AI frameworks”, “exceptional stakeholder management and executive communication skills, including experience presenting to senior leadership and boards”, and a bachelor’s degree with no field. Preferred and squarely in your favour: “familiarity with change management methodologies” and “expertise with major enterprise AI platforms (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI… Anthropic Claude…)”. Fully remote by the employer’s own field, $200,000–$260,000. Verified on careers.sunchemical.com, Req 6989.

Gaps

One required line to argue: 3+ years owning direct AI/ML or advanced analytics / technical platform programs — your Copilot Studio and Power Automate agent work and the adoption programme are the evidence, but it has to be framed as programme ownership, not tool use. An MBA or advanced degree in “computer or data science, business, engineering” is preferred; chemicals, manufacturing or industrial B2B background is preferred and absent. Global, cross-regional stakeholder management is a stated requirement. The req’s primary location is Concord, CA, so expect West Coast hours.
Global manufacturer of printing inks, coatings, pigments and advanced materials; a DIC Corporation subsidiary headquartered in Parsippany, NJ.
👥 Who you know: Checked 2026-09-03. No 1st-degree, and the network is thin: the only 2nd-degree rendered is Viviane Ramsey, Global Marketing Manager, Sustainability (mutual Allyson Finch Wilson).

Leads internal communications for AstraZeneca’s US Oncology business from the US Corporate Affairs team — strategy narrative, organisational announcements, change-communication counsel and leadership forums, with a second workstream of above-brand reputation campaigns.

Strengths

Internal-comms-weighted by the posting’s own arithmetic: ten of its fourteen responsibilities are employee understanding of strategy, organisational announcements, “internal change management counsel”, leadership forums, the editorial calendar, webinars and intranet content, and measurement; the desirable list ends with “experience supporting organizational change communications, employee engagement or culture-building initiatives.” Essential requirements are a bachelor’s (no field stated), “7-10 years of experience in internal communications, corporate communications, public relations…”, “experience advising senior leaders… in a matrixed organization” and “experience using data and analytics to evaluate communications”no people-management number, no licence, no technical bar. Works closely with the SVP of US Oncology. Gaithersburg is a drivable commute and the band top clears your $180K target. Verified on AstraZeneca’s own Workday, req R-258916, posted Sep 1. This tile came from two of the alert sources rebuilt on Sep 2 (Indeed and Built In) — the first return on that work.

Gaps

Closes Sep 14. Hybrid at three days a week in Gaithersburg is a real commute from Annapolis, not an occasional one. The band floor ($146,717) sits under your line even though the top does not. Pharma, biotech or oncology communications is only desirable, but the posting leans on it — “ability to understand scientific and medical information, or demonstrated ability to learn complex subject matter quickly” is essential, and the second workstream (above-brand campaigns, community partnerships, agency and vendor management, short-form video) is external-reputation work where an agency-trained candidate competes hard. No direct reports are stated: this reads as a senior individual seat rather than a function head.

Fit
80%

Company-wide AI transformation lead reporting to the CEO of a fast-growing flooring retailer — strategy, process redesign, governance, executive coaching, employee education and change management, with named 90-day, six-month and three-year milestones.

Strengths

The posting says the quiet part out loud: “This is a business transformation leadership role, not a technical AI position” and “You don’t need to be the person building the technology.” Requirements are “10+ years of progressive leadership experience in enterprise transformation, digital strategy, operations, innovation, or a related field”, “strong business acumen with fluency in AI, data, technology, security, and vendor solutions” and “experience leading significant cross-functional change and influencing senior leaders”no degree, no headcount, no licence. “Reports To: Chief Executive Officer.” Remote by the employer’s own field, $200,000–$250,000 base plus bonus. The LinkedIn listing is Easy Apply; the employer’s own Greenhouse posting (job 5228008007, requisition 740) is the route in and the Apply button goes there.

Gaps

Travel of 25–50%, primarily to Phoenix, is the cost of the remote label. Success is framed in “measurable improvements in revenue, profitability, productivity, or customer experience” — outcome accountability rather than P&L ownership, but expect to be measured on it. A 51–200-person retailer that has grown fourfold since 2020 is a very different scale of enterprise from AARP, and the VP title reflects that.

The top communications seat at a large philanthropic-services nonprofit, reporting to the Co-CEO — brand, media, digital, executive communications for the Co-CEOs and an explicit internal-communications workstream.

Strengths

Mission-driven, remote, on target and reporting to the top: “Reporting to the Co-Chief Executive Officer”, with “direct supervision of communications staff” and agencies. Internal comms is named, not implied: “Design and implement internal communications systems that strengthen employee connection, clarity, and alignment.” The required line — “proven senior level experience developing and executing communications strategies, including digital strategy, in a nonprofit, philanthropic, or mission-driven organization — is the AARP door-opener, and the degree line accepts “equivalent experience (12+ years)”. Verified on RPA’s own Workday, req JR1558, posted Aug 7, open until filled.

Gaps

Brand and external is the larger half: “track record of managing media relationships, digital platforms, and brand identity systems” and “familiarity with philanthropy sector audiences… donor/grantee/stakeholder engagement” are required, and “strong understanding of social justice, equity-focused language, and narrative change principles” is central to the role. The band is on target but narrow ($195K–$205K). A cover letter is mandatory“all applications must include a cover letter describing your interest and qualifications and your resume.”

Head-of-communications seat for the newly carved-out BMC Helix brand — corporate comms, PR and agencies, executive comms, brand narrative, content, social and crisis, with employee communications as one of six sub-teams.

Strengths

Right level, right band, remote US with no state exclusions, and the team it leads is named: “Lead a team spanning Employee Communications, Executive Communications, Design, Content, Social Media, and PR.” The posting calls itself out as an operator’s job — “Delivers institutional-grade programs with limited budget and headcount” — and explicitly wants “AI-centric experimentation” in the function. Degree line accepts “or equivalent experience”. $197,250–$328,750 with the posting’s own note that hires rarely land at the top. Verified on BMC Helix’s own careers site (jobs.helixops.ai), Job ID 63622, published Aug 7.

Gaps

This is a PR-and-brand-led seat inside Marketing (“reporting to the Head of Global Marketing”), and three requirements sit outside your record: “12+ years in corporate communications, brand, or content leadership, ideally within B2B SaaS… with demonstrated experience leading through a brand launch or major rebrand”; “track record building and running global PR programs that deliver consistent earned coverage… managing agencies hands-on”; and “has led a company through a high-stakes public moment.” Internal comms is real but a sixth of the scope.

Strengths

Film and entertainment plus AI, which you have said you want to see. Reports to the Vice President, AI Strategy & Operations; owns “enterprise AI communications, change management, and enablement activities” and “adoption/value-realization measurement”. Requirements are yours: “10+ years of experience in strategy, operations, transformation, consulting, program leadership, technology leadership, or related disciplines”, “experience driving organizational change, business transformation, and operating model evolution”, “ability to influence across organizations without direct authority”no degree requirement, no headcount, no coding.

Gaps

It is hybrid in Culver City with no remote option, so under your own location rule it should not be here — it is on the board only because of your stated interest in film/entertainment AI, and it would mean relocating or a Los Angeles commute. The band ($171,200–$214,000) is under target at the floor. Media, entertainment or content-production experience is preferred.

The operating executive for enterprise AI transformation at a national primary-care platform — governance, decision rights, gated funding and the organisational AI fluency that makes any of it stick.

Strengths

The best-matched requisition to land on this board. The JD draws your exact boundary in its own words: “This is not a research or exploratory role, and it is not a program-management role. It functions as the operating executive for enterprise AI transformation.” Scope is a three-tier governance structure, chairing an AI Transformation Hub, a 90-day gate process, named decision rights, vendor management under fixed-fee discipline, responsible AI, and building AI fluency through training and change management — the operating-model framing you argue from, not a tooling role. No degree requirement is stated at all. Ten-plus years leading large-scale business transformation with five owning enterprise-wide, multi-entity programmes; one direct report, so the people-leadership bar is light. US Remote with no state exclusions, and the band tops at $348,758 — the highest on the board. Healthcare is explicitly “a differentiator, not a requirement.” Verified on Mosaic’s own Workday tenant, req M104742, canApply:true, posted today.

Gaps

No hard blocker was found, which is itself worth a second look — read the requisition yourself before assuming it. Mosaic Health is a private-equity-backed roll-up of primary-care assets built on the former Vera Whole Health entity, and the requisition still sits on that legacy Workday tenant; multi-entity integration work of this kind moves fast and can be re-scoped. The seat is a single direct report against enterprise-wide accountability, so influence carries the job.

Sets the enterprise strategic direction for internal communications and change management at a 10,000-person financial institution — the two lanes fused into one title, forty-five minutes from Annapolis.

Strengths

Both of your lanes in a single requisition, and the JD says so: “Sets the enterprise strategic direction for internal communications and change management” across enterprise-wide initiatives, reporting to “AVP or other functional executive.” Vienna is a normal commute. The degree field is Communications, Organisational Development or Business — no CS or engineering bar — and the experience line reads “College/University degree and 12+ years… including 8+ years of people leadership experience; or equivalent experience as a recognized subject matter expert leading enterprise-wide communications and change initiatives.” That second clause is the door. Verified on Navy Federal’s own Oracle Recruiting Cloud, req 32078, ApplyWhenNotPostedFlag:false. This is also the best-connected employer on your board — see below.

Gaps

It closes Sep 8 — and the requisition adds its own caveat: “Job postings are subject to close early or extend out longer than the anticipated closing date at the hiring team’s discretion based on qualified applicant volume.” Treat six days as the outside number. No salary range is published; the Targeted Salary Range field reads only “Negotiable based on experience and qualifications,” so you will be anchoring blind — ask the recruiter for the band before naming a figure. The 8+ years people-leadership line is a stated bar even with the equivalency escape, and credit-union or regulated-financial experience is absent from your record. Winchester VA and Pensacola FL are secondary locations on the same requisition, not separate jobs — apply once.

Sets AI strategy and drives enablement and workflow adoption across a global manufacturer — a leadership-level-4 seat that is about getting the enterprise to use the technology, not about building it.

Strengths

Lane A at a household-name enterprise, and genuinely remote: the posting’s own structured data carries addressCountry: “Remote” alongside addressLocality: “United States”, and the body closes with the #LI-Remote tag. No state exclusions anywhere in the posting, so Maryland is fine and Dearborn is not required. The bar is “Bachelor’s degree” with no field specified — no CS or engineering gate — plus “8+ years of experience in strategy, portfolio management, or transformation leadership roles, including experience managing managers or leading multiple functional teams.” Verified on Ford’s own careers system (Radancy, not Workday — the Workday tenant does not exist), posted Aug 27, no closing date.

Gaps

No salary range is published and Ford says why: “This position is a leadership level 4. Final determination of salary grade will be based on candidate’s skills and experience.” You will be negotiating against an internal grade you cannot see — establish the band early. “Managing managers or leading multiple functional teams” is the sharper edge of the experience line and you lead workstreams rather than a management chain; answer it with the cross-functional operating model rather than a headcount. Automotive and manufacturing are absent from your record.

Senior corporate-communications seat at a large HR-technology company, including standing up a Communications Center of Excellence.

Strengths

Fully remote US with no state exclusions — the posting’s structured data reads jobLocationType: “TELECOMMUTE” with applicantLocationRequirements: US. Senior Director clears the band outright, no degree requirement is stated, and the experience line is “12+ years of progressive experience in corporate communications, corporate affairs, reputation, crisis and issues management, corporate responsibility, or related disciplines, including significant leadership experience” — which you clear. Building a Communications Center of Excellence is operating-model work, not campaign work, and that is the part of this job that is yours. Posted Aug 28 with a long runway (open through Feb 2027).

Gaps

The centre of gravity is reputation, not employees. Corporate responsibility, crisis and issues management and external reputation lead the description; employee communications is adjacent rather than central, so this is a lane-B stretch rather than a bullseye. No salary range is published and UKG’s applicant API is WAF-blocked from outside, so the band could not be recovered from the employer’s own system — ask for it early. HR-technology sector experience is absent from your record. Note UKG also has an Employee Communications, Change Management Lead open, remote US, posted Sep 1 — dead-centre content but a “Lead” grade, so it is below your band and not boarded.

Owns the AI roadmap, adoption and change enablement at a national engineering and design firm — champion network, governance and responsible AI.

Strengths

Squarely lane A and the widest posted band on the board: $181,000–$300,000. The scope is AI roadmap, adoption and change enablement, an AI champion network, governance and responsible AI — adoption work, not platform build. The degree line reads “Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems/Management, Computer/Data Science, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience) required”, so the field bar does not bite. Verified in Colliers Engineering & Design’s own iCIMS job 13477.

Gaps

The posting names no office at all — its structured location fields read literally UNAVAILABLE — while requiring that “candidates must be able to work regularly from one of Colliers Engineering & Design’s office locations,” plus travel to other offices. The firm does post from Columbia, MD, so this may be workable, but the office question has to be answered before anything else. It also asks for “demonstrated success delivering measurable outcomes in a AEC environment (or similarly complex, project-based services)” — architecture/engineering/construction tenure you do not have, softened but not removed by the parenthetical. And it has been open since June 1; three months without a fill is a signal worth reading.

👥 Who you know: Checked 2026-09-02. No 1st-degree. Best path, and unusually useful here: Peter Rouse, M.A. — Associate Director, Federal Services at Colliers Engineering & Design and SAME Baltimore Post President (2nd degree, mutual Corina Alvarez). He is Baltimore-based and inside the firm, so he is the person who can answer the which-office question before you spend anything on this.

Strengths

Lane A at enterprise scale with a posted band topping $230,800, and an easy entry bar: “8+ years of progressive experience in data strategy, product strategy, digital transformation, technology strategy, AI enablement, analytics, or a related field”no degree requirement and no people-management bar stated. Verified on UnitedHealth Group’s own careers system, req 2386689, posted Sep 1.

Gaps

Read the remote line carefully, because the title is misleading for you specifically. Verbatim: “You’ll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely from anywhere within the U.S.… For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week.” Annapolis sits in that area, so on its face this is a four-day-a-week in-office job for you and not a remote one — worth a recruiter question before you invest, and the reason this sits at 71 rather than in the eighties. Second, the content leans data architecture — semantic layers, ontologies, metadata, lineage — more than adoption and change, which is the thinner half of your record. Third, it may not last: “This will be posted for a minimum of 2 business days or until a sufficient candidate pool has been collected.”

Fit
88%

Owns the enterprise approach to leadership and change communications at a large, highly-regulated defence prime — executive counsel, town halls, change adoption, and the governance that keeps it consistent.

Strengths

The closest JD-to-record match on the board. It asks for the enterprise approach to leadership and change communications, executive communications frameworks and governance, enterprise town halls and leadership forums, and communications that carry organizational redesign, technology modernization and digital transformation — which is your AARP workstream description almost line for line. Requires 10 years internal / change / executive comms, 8 with an advanced degree, so your M.A. clears it with room. It also explicitly leads and mentors a team of communicators, which answers the people-leadership question directly instead of making you argue it. Falls Church is a normal commute. Verified on BAE’s own careers site, req 127596BR.

Gaps

The band floor is $138,267, below your $150K line — the top is $235,053, so this is an anchoring problem, not a disqualifier. The posting states no work arrangement at all — not remote, not hybrid, not onsite. Given the sister VP req on the same site does specify onsite, do not assume this one is flexible; ask in the first conversation. Defence-sector experience is absent from your record, and cleared-facility norms may come up.

Fit
86%

Builds and runs the enterprise learning and enablement strategy for AI adoption inside Capital One’s Enterprise Learning & Development organisation.

Strengths

The preferred qualifications read like your file: 4+ years managing external technology vendors, SaaS integration training partners or third-party content cycles — the vendor relationship you managed — and building AI-assisted automated workflows, which is the internal AI assistants you built and launched. Basic quals ask 5+ years in enterprise change management, 3+ years creating and executing technology enablement or learning strategies, and 3+ years leading cross-functional initiatives; you clear all three. Your through-line — adoption is an operating-model problem before it is a training problem — is the differentiator against candidates who read this as pure L&D. McLean is drivable, and $206K–$235.1K sits well above your floor.

Gaps

Capital One runs a hybrid in-office expectation; confirm the days before committing. The req sits in Enterprise Learning & Development, so the seat may be scoped narrower than enterprise adoption strategy — probe who owns the operating model versus who owns the curriculum. Note also that Capital One’s internal job family for this posting is “Director, Project Management”, which is a compensation-grade label rather than the work — do not let it pull your language toward project management.

Owns enterprise employee and executive communications for BAE Systems, Inc., reporting to the SVP, Communications.

Strengths

A genuine level jump with the comp to match — $200,222–$340,378, the highest band on the board. Owns the enterprise employee communications strategy and executive communications outright, and the JD wants a leader who sets strategy while still personally writing the critical pieces, which is how you actually work. Verified on BAE’s own careers site, req 129063BR.

Gaps

Hard flag, verbatim: the role “is based at BAE Systems, Inc. headquarters in Falls Church, VA and requires onsite presence with approximately 25% travel.” That is a daily commute from Annapolis, not three days a week. Asks a minimum 15 years of progressive communications experience in large, matrixed, highly-regulated organisations, and wants experience supporting external as well as internal comms — external is the thinner half of your record. Do not apply to both BAE reqs. Two applications to one employer reads as untargeted, the same trap as the four Amgen reqs. Lead with the Director unless you specifically want the VP title and will accept the commute.

Fit

Owns executive communications for a fleet-operations technology company — leadership messaging, all-hands and the internal narrative that carries it.

Strengths

Verified Remote — US on Samsara’s own Greenhouse board (job 8156181), not inferred from an aggregator, and the posted band tops at $255,000. “Head of” clears the level band outright. Executive communications is the spine of your AARP work — the weekly updates that brief executives, the enterprise newsletter, town halls, roadshows and office hours — and this role wants exactly that rather than media relations. First surfaced by the Apify sweep, not by an email alert.

Gaps

The band floor is $142,800, just under your $150K line, so the offer conversation matters — anchor high and early. Samsara sells IoT/fleet telematics to physical-operations buyers, a sector you have no track record in; answer it with regulated-enterprise and cross-functional AI work rather than domain claims. The title emphasises executive comms; if the scope is speechwriting-heavy rather than change-and-adoption-heavy it is a narrower seat than it reads.

Leads enterprise-wide communications, enablement, engagement and change management for Greystar Management Services — the operating-model version of your AARP workstream.

Strengths

The description is the closest wording to your own scope on this board: it “leads the strategy, governance, and execution of enterprise-wide communications, enablement, engagement, and change management initiatives,” translating business priorities into “communication and learning strategies that drive adoption.” Requirements clear as written — Bachelor’s in Communications, PR, Journalism or Instructional Design; 10+ years in internal comms, enablement, L&D or organizational change; 5+ years leading teams and enterprise programs. Workday req R0196764 is live and applyable, and the posting states remote is available anywhere in the US except Alaska, so Maryland qualifies. Note this is NOT the Greystar role screened out on Aug 25 — that one (R0190073) was restricted to AZ/TX/GA/NC and demanded property-management field experience. This req carries neither blocker.

Gaps

Comp is the problem and it is on the tile for a reason: the posted band tops out at $150,000, which is your floor, not your target. Every other role on this board at this level pays materially more. Greystar is a real-estate and property-management platform, so the enablement audience is site and regional operations teams rather than a corporate knowledge workforce — different rhythm from AARP. Occasional travel is expected. Worth a conversation about band flexibility before investing in a full application.

Fit

Leads communications across Amgen’s R&D and Artificial Intelligence & Data organizations, with a team reporting in, sitting above the two Corporate Affairs Director seats already on this board.

Strengths

The responsibilities read like your job description: “lead communications strategies that support organizational transformation, AI adoption, and new ways of working” and “establish communications planning, governance, and measurement frameworks.” Fully US-remote, same posted band as the other Amgen reqs, and unlike them this one has direct reports — “lead and develop a high-performing team… coaching, and career development for direct reports” — which answers the people-leadership question other postings make you argue for. Bachelor’s + 9 years of communications clears the bar as written. Posted Aug 10, no deadline.

Gaps

This is the FOURTH live Amgen requisition on your board (R-248611 AI & Data, R-250068 Pipeline Communications, R-252658 Global Customer Capabilities). They are genuinely separate jobs, and this one sits across the other two — it works “closely with the Corporate Affairs Directors for Research, Development & Pipeline, and Artificial Intelligence & Data.” Lead with this one and treat the others as fallbacks rather than firing at all four; a recruiter who sees four applications reads it as untargeted. Biotech/pharma sector experience is preferred throughout the Amgen set and is your one consistent gap — answer it with regulated-enterprise and legal/privacy-partnered AI work.

Fit
72%

Owns the whole communications function at a satellite-imaging company — internal, executive, media and policy — reporting to the VP of Communications.

Strengths

Arlington is the closest at-level communications seat to Annapolis to appear in weeks, the band clears your floor, and the scope names internal communications and executive communications alongside the external work. The bar is “10+ years of communications experience, including significant responsibility for media relations, corporate communications, executive communications, and internal communications” — you clear the years, the exec-comms half and the internal half outright, and your NBC4 background is real newsroom credibility rather than a claim.

Gaps

Two things to be honest about. It is on-site, not hybrid — a daily Annapolis→Arlington commute, not three days a week. And the centre of gravity is earned media: the deepest stated requirement is “deep media relations experience, including a track record of developing reporter relationships, securing meaningful earned media opportunities, and managing press inquiries,” with desired “established relationships with national, defense, aerospace, technology, or business media.” That is a different discipline from the AI-adoption and internal-comms lane you are aiming at, and it is where a strong competing candidate would beat you. Worth a conversation about the internal/external split before you invest in tailored materials.

Communications lead for Amgen’s Artificial Intelligence and Data organization — the narrative, executive visibility and change communications behind an enterprise AI program.

Strengths

This is the intersection of both your lanes in one title: corporate communications for an AI and data organization. The preferred list asks for “experience supporting communications for AI, data, digital transformation, innovation, or enterprise change initiatives” and “executing global communication programs in complex, matrixed organizations” — that is the AARP work described back to you. Fully remote with no stated state restriction, and the posted floor is above your target. The degree bar clears on the Bachelor’s + 9 years path.

Gaps

Pharma/biotech sector experience is preferred (5+ years) and you do not have it — lead with regulated-enterprise and privacy/legal-partnered AI work instead. THIRD live Amgen thread: R-250068 (Pipeline Communications) and R-252658 (Global Customer Capabilities) are already on this board, and Amgen has at least three more Corporate Affairs Director reqs open right now, incl. R-252035 (Strategic Communications, R&D & AI&D) which is the closest sibling to this one. Sequence deliberately rather than firing at all of them.

Leads enterprise change management and organizational design for Exelon’s transformation agenda — including redesigning work and roles around AI and automation — reporting into the VP, Talent.

Strengths

Both DC (701 9th St NW) and Baltimore HQ are listed office options on this one requisition, so the commute is genuinely yours to choose — the closest at-level opening to Annapolis on the board. The methodology requirement names Prosci/ADKAR and Kotter outright, which your GAQM change-management certification and the ADKAR work on your own site speak to directly. And the mandate explicitly includes “redesigning work, roles, and processes — including in the context of AI, automation, or digital transformation”: your lane, at a regulated utility that has to bring people along. Total comp with the $50K LTI and 30% target is the strongest package on the board.

Gaps

Closes September 5 — nine days. Two stated minimums to answer for: “minimum of 12 years of progressive experience in change management, organizational design/effectiveness, transformation, or organizational development in a large, matrixed organization” and “minimum of 5 years of supervisory experience” — the supervisory number is the one to be ready on. Chicago is the primary office on the requisition even though DC and MD are eligible; confirm days-per-week on-site, which the posting does not state. Travel up to 25%.

Strengths

Lane B at Director level with internal communications named in the scope — employee and chapter comms, leadership messaging, channel governance and change communications sit alongside earned media and executive visibility. The bar is 10+ years of progressive communications experience including team management: you clear it. Hybrid Tuesday–Thursday in Arlington is a real but drivable commute from Annapolis, three days a week. And the audience is corporate directors — an executive-governance membership whose members are exactly the level you write for.

Gaps

Three days a week in Arlington, every week — roughly an hour each way on a good day; be sure the commute math works before investing.

Strengths

Communications lane at Director level, and fully remote in Amgen’s own Workday field — the LinkedIn alert showed Washington, DC, but the requisition itself lists United States – Remote as its only location. The work is executive visibility, organizational communications, change initiatives and issues management: Lane B with a change pillar. The stated bar is a bachelor’s plus 9 years of communications experience, which you clear many times over, and the role leads a team plus agency partners. No application deadline. The posting even explicitly invites redacting age-identifying information — unusually aligned with your guardrails. This would be a second, distinct Amgen application alongside the Global Customer Capabilities tile from Aug 23.

Gaps

The counsel is about the clinical pipeline — translating trial results and regulatory milestones into narrative for the Development leadership team. Biotech or pharma experience is listed as preferred, not required, but the science-literacy question will come up in the first screen, and your healthcare AI credentialing work is the bridge to build there.

Fit
76%

Owns vision, strategy and roadmap for a portfolio of AI and analytics products, as business owner from strategy through value realisation.

Strengths

The back half of this job is your job. It owns adoption explicitly — business readiness, communication, training, adoption strategy, adoption metrics and barrier removal — sitting next to product governance and prioritisation. The band starts at $137,000 and runs to $267,000, and the employer’s own posting field marks it Fully Remote Worker while carrying a DC address, so it satisfies both your remote preference and your radius. No clearance, no P&L, no quota, no billable delivery, and no engineering requirement anywhere in the text — no Python, no RAG, no MLOps.

Gaps

Two things to settle before investing. First, under Required — not Preferred — the posting says “Thorough knowledge of the insurance brokerage industry.” That is a domain you do not carry and it is the single thing most likely to stop this. Second, the title says Vice President but every line of the body describes “The Director, Senior Product Owner,” including the success measures — this reads as a Director-level product-owner req wearing a VP title. Also worth knowing: the “Fully Remote” designation exists only as a structured posting attribute; the description prose never says remote, hybrid or onsite. Confirm it with the recruiter rather than assuming it. Refreshed Aug 21, so it is being actively worked.

Director of Strategic Communications (NCS) — Baltimore Convention Center

City of Baltimore

★ drivableWork model not statedhard blocker — hiring range tops at $93,403closes Sep 4 · req R0017859 · verified on the employer’s own system
📍 Baltimore, MD — 1 W Pratt St

Fit
71%

Owns strategic communications and marketing for the Baltimore Convention Center, including internal communications, executive messaging, media relations, brand, digital and crisis counsel.

Strengths

This is the cleanest internal communications description in the sweep — employee newsletters, executive messaging, recognition and engagement are named as leading duties, not afterthoughts, alongside the PIO role and crisis counsel to executive leadership. It supervises a real team (Digital Content Manager and Brand Manager report in) and carries budget, vendors and agency management. It is a 35-minute drive. Checked explicitly: there is no Baltimore City residency requirement — it is flagged NON-CIVIL SERVICE, so the usual residency rules do not attach. The stated bar is five years of public information, PR, convention or non-profit work including supervising small teams, plus a communications-related bachelor’s degree. You clear it.

Gaps

The money is the problem and it is not close. The hiring range tops out at $93,403 — the $115,063 figure is the ceiling of the classification, not what they are paying in. That is materially below Director-level compensation and below every other tile on this board. It is also an on-call role: “essential personnel,” “occasional evening, weekend, and holiday hours as events dictate,” and a rotating Director-on-Duty schedule. No remote or hybrid language appears anywhere in the posting, and the role is anchored to a physical venue. Closes September 4, so it needs a decision this week if it is worth one at all.

$269,600 – $307,700 McLean · posted
Fit
84%

Chief of staff running the Retail Bank's AI-driven workforce transformation — partnering with HR on job-family redesign, headcount and productivity outcomes, leadership operating rhythms and the associate experience through the change.

Strengths

The Basic Qualifications are a bachelor's degree or military experience, 5+ years in a chief-of-staff, business-analysis, project-management, HR or strategic-planning role, 5+ years managing stakeholders across business functions, and 2+ years leading change-management initiatives. You clear all four, which is unusual at a band that starts at $269,600. The substance is exactly your argument: AI adoption treated as an operating-model and workforce problem rather than a training problem, with job-family redesign, decision rights and measurable adoption outcomes attached. Highest posted band on your board, and McLean is a drive.

Gaps

“3+ years of people management experience” sits under Preferred, not Basic — favourable, but a chief-of-staff role at this level assumes you can speak to leading through influence across functions, which is where your 8-business-unit scope does the work. The posting states no work model at all, so whether McLean means in-office is the first recruiter question. Financial-services experience is not required but everyone else in the room will have it. No visa sponsorship offered (not a constraint for you).

Fit
83%

Communications lead for Amgen's Global Customer Capabilities & Innovation organisation, reporting to an AVP and driving adoption of new data, technology and customer capabilities across global markets.

Strengths

This is your two lanes in one posting: internal and change communications used as the vehicle for getting a new capability adopted across markets. The education-and-experience bar is a bachelor's plus 9 years in strategic communications, corporate affairs, public affairs or change communications “or related” — no named technical degree, no clearance, no second language. Critically, there is no people-management requirement anywhere in it; the only management language is managing external agency and vendor partners, which you have done. Fully remote with a posted band starting above the $180K floor.

Gaps

Pharma and biotech experience is the room you would be walking into, and you do not have it — the AARP regulated-environment framing is what carries you here. The role sits under an AVP inside a large global corporate-affairs function, so scope is a workstream, not the function. No state-eligibility list is published, so remote-from-Maryland is worth confirming, and Amgen states sponsorship is “not guaranteed” (not a constraint for you). Amgen has five sibling Corporate Affairs Director roles open at once; be deliberate about which one you go for.

Fit
80%

Owns communications and change management for Centene's enterprise transformation portfolio, working out of a transformation Center of Excellence across Health Plan, Product and Shared Services.

Strengths

Posted two days ago, and it is the only role on this run that is unambiguously remote from Annapolis — “can be based anywhere within the continental US,” with no state exclusion list. The requirements are a bachelor's in business, organisational development, communications “or a related field,” 7+ years of progressive change-management experience and 5+ years of project-management or communications experience. That is a description of your last several years. A transformation CoE that pairs change and communication in one seat is the operating-model framing you argue for, and there is no people-management bar of any kind.

Gaps

The band is the honest problem: the top reaches $219,000 but it opens at $118,400, and where a candidate lands inside a range that wide is decided in the first call, not at offer. “Works with project teams, and sometimes leads them” is soft language for a Director title — worth probing what the seat actually owns. Managed-care and health-plan experience is the implicit background, and there is no AI content in this posting at all, so it is a pure lane-one role rather than a bridge between the two.

$190,300 – $217,200 McLean · posted
Fit
82%

Strategic communications counsel to senior enterprise executives, leading integrated internal-associate and external campaigns that tie line-of-business priorities to the enterprise narrative.

Strengths

The Basic Qualifications are a bachelor's degree and “at least 8 years of communications experience” — you clear both with room, which is rare at this band. The work itself is executive counsel plus internal engagement: “build trusted partner relationships and serve as a strategic counselor to senior corporate executives and cross-functional leadership teams,” elevating the internal communications framework, and “leverage data analytics, audience sentiment, and modern digital channels to optimize communications performance and measure narrative impact.” McLean is drivable and the band is posted, starting at $190,300.

Gaps

“3+ years of direct people management experience” is listed under Preferred rather than Basic, but the responsibilities assume it — “lead, coach, and develop a team of communications professionals.” The posting states no work model at all, so whether McLean means in-office is a question for the recruiter before anything else. Financial-services or consumer-brand communications is a preferred background you would be arguing around.

Fit
79%

Chief-of-staff style operating partner to the head of U.S. Communications & Government Affairs — business rhythms, governance, prioritisation, dashboards and executive communications across five teams.

Strengths

Despite where it sits, this is not lobbying. The posting calls it “an operations-focused role supporting the US CGA leadership team” and “the connective tissue across the function,” and Government Affairs appears only as one of the client teams served. Internal Communications is another of them, and the role owns “high-impact presentations, executive briefings, talking points, and strategic communications for senior leadership audiences” — executive comms with an operating-model mandate attached, which is your through-line. No people-management number, no team size and no direct-report requirement appears anywhere in the posting. Hybrid in DC is drivable and the band starts at $171,000.

Gaps

The ten-year requirement names “pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare, public affairs, communications, government affairs, or related disciplines” — communications qualifies on its face, but you would be the candidate without the sector, and understanding of the U.S. healthcare policy and pharmaceutical landscape is preferred. This is an enabling seat rather than a function-owning one: rhythm and influence rather than a team of your own. Travel up to 20%.

Fit
84%

Enterprise owner of AI strategy, governance and adoption for a national insurance brokerage — vision, investment roadmap, embedding AI across functions, and workforce readiness.

Strengths

Read the responsibilities rather than the title. It asks the holder to “drive workforce transformation by fostering AI readiness, advancing digital skills, leading change management efforts, and empowering employees,” to “partner with executive leadership across Finance, Operations, Technology, Legal, Compliance, Communications, and Learning & Development to embed AI into business strategies and drive enterprise-wide adoption,” and to “champion responsible AI practices by establishing governance models.” Nothing about building, training or evaluating models, and no production code anywhere — it names Communications as a partner function. Fully remote, no state restriction stated, $250K–$300K posted, and no team size or direct-report count is required; team-building sits under Preferred.

Gaps

The education line is stated as required: “MBA, Master's degree, or other advanced education in Business Administration, Technology Management, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Engineering, Organizational Development, or a related discipline.” Your M.A. is a master's; whether Digital Communications reads as “a related discipline” is a judgment a screener makes in seconds, so it is worth pre-empting — the change-management certification is the bridge to the Organizational Development half of that list. Insurance brokerage is a new sector. The posting carries an expiry of 2026-09-25, so this is not one to sit on.

$255,000 – $347,500 · posted
Fit
80%

Owns the enterprise AI transformation strategy, working with therapeutic-area and functional leaders to prioritise use cases and turn them into business value.

Strengths

The posting says outright this is not an IT or engineering role — it is a business leadership seat that bridges non-technical stakeholders and the data-science side, sits on the AI Governance Committee, champions AI literacy and upskilling, and owns the business-case and ROI process. That is your through-line stated almost word for word: adoption as an operating-model problem, not a training problem. Executive Director clears the level band comfortably, and the posted range tops out at $347,500.

Gaps

VERIFIED 2026-08-24: the posting is explicit — “Workplace Type: Hybrid”, “a hybrid role based out of our Bridgewater, NJ office”, ~190 miles from Annapolis, plus ~20% domestic and international travel. It also sets a domain bar you do not meet: “at least 15 years of progressive business leadership experience in life sciences”. Content is the closest match on this board (non-technical enterprise AI adoption, change, AI literacy, governance, $255,000–$347,500, no people-management requirement) — kept visible for your own call, but it does not pass the location screen. Hybrid out of Bridgewater, NJ — roughly a three-hour drive, so this is not a daily commute. The posting softens that (“You’ll work remotely most of the time, with in-person collaboration when it matters most”), which is the most favourable hybrid language of anything in today’s run, but it is still an office-anchored role and you would need to establish up front what “when it matters most” means in days per month.

Fit
78%

Owns end-to-end change management for a digital-transformation and SAP S/4HANA platform-modernisation programme — impact assessment, governance, readiness, change network and adoption measurement.

Strengths

Line for line this is change and adoption work rather than project management: “own the end-to-end change management strategy across platform modernization and transformation initiatives,” “build and enable a change network (e.g., sponsors, champions, power users) to support adoption and feedback loops,” and “monitor adoption metrics, qualitative feedback, and sentiment trends; adjust strategies as needed.” No P&L, no revenue ownership, no stated years of people management and no team size. Prosci-or-equivalent certification is preferred, which your GAQM certification answers directly. Senior Director clears the band and the posted top is $283,250. Note also that the two separate LinkedIn listings for Pennsylvania and Texas are the same single requisition.

Gaps

Maryland is not among the named remote states. There is a general “Remote, USA” location on the same requisition, so it may not be a hard bar — but confirm it before you spend an application on it. The programme is an ERP implementation (“experience with large ERP systems (SAP) a plus”), and the posting asks for “ability to support extended hours during critical deployment and go-live periods.” The stated experience bar is ten to twelve years leading enterprise change.

📍 Detroit, MI
no range in the posting
Fit
73%

Law-firm AI adoption leadership. The posting’s description body could not be retrieved.

Strengths

Title is a literal match for your lane — “Director of AI Adoption” is the job you have been doing, and a partnership adopting AI is an operating-model problem before it is a technology one. The Nixon Peabody role on Aug 21 is the same shape and scored 80. Level band is clean.

Gaps

Two real unknowns, and they are the deciding ones. The firm’s job portal is returning a server error where the description should be, so nobody — including me — can currently read what the role actually owns. And the posting states no work arrangement at all; it is listed for Detroit and Grand Rapids, neither drivable from Annapolis, so whether this is remote-eligible decides everything. Worth one call to WNJ recruiting rather than an application in the dark.

Fit
72%

Business leader for AI strategy, transformation and enablement across Sandoz North America, reporting to the SVP, Strategy & Growth.

Strengths

On content this is the strongest match in the run. The posting says the role operates “through influence rather than direct authority” and owns AI literacy and change leadership across Commercial, Supply Chain, Finance, Regulatory, P&O and IT — enterprise scope, named functions, value realisation. Reports to an SVP, so the seat has altitude.

Gaps

VERIFIED 2026-08-24: “This role will not have the ability to be located remotely.” Princeton NJ HQ, ~50% on-site, ~180 miles from Annapolis, and “preference will be given to local candidates not requiring relocation”. Every other requirement is clearable — bachelor's degree, 10+ years in strategy/transformation, explicitly an influence role with no direct reports, $176,400–$327,600. Geography is the only blocker, which makes it worth a call to the recruiter rather than a silent drop. The posting closes the door explicitly: “This role will not have the ability to be located remotely.” Princeton is not a drivable hybrid from Annapolis, and unlike the Insmed role there is no mostly-remote language to negotiate against. Everything else fits; the location is a hard blocker, and it is the reason this sits at 72 rather than the mid-80s.

Strengths

Enterprise scope inside a people function, with a governance framework and value-realisation KPIs attached — close to the adoption operating-model work you have led, and it is a people-leader role rather than an individual contributor one.

Gaps

Same location screen that removed the three J&J AI Strategy & Transformation reqs. J&J files this under Job Function “Technology Product & Platform Management” and Sub Function “Intelligent Automation Engineering,” which signals they may screen for automation engineering depth rather than adoption and change leadership.

Strengths

Director-level AI and innovation ownership, posted into the Washington DC-Baltimore area, so it is drive-able — which Rule 17 puts at the top of your list.

Gaps

Confirmed on Nixon Peabody’s own recruiting system (job 4699, opened July 7, posted to Multiple Offices with a remote arrangement available) — but the firm does not publish which office is hiring, so DC may not be it. “Innovation” at a law firm often means practice technology and legal-workflow tooling rather than employee adoption; confirm which before investing.

"Director, AI Enablement" is the target title verbatim and the scope is named business functions rather than an engineering team — which is adoption work, your lane. Fully remote.

Gaps

Leads employee communications strategy, executive communications, organizational change communications and enterprise storytelling.

Strengths

Read from Monumental's own Greenhouse posting today, the responsibilities are a near-literal restatement of your background: executive speeches and company-wide updates, strategic counsel to senior leaders, "communication strategies supporting organizational change and transformation", town halls and all-staff moments, internal-comms governance frameworks, and analytics-driven measurement. The requirement is "8+ years of experience in internal communications, corporate communications, executive communications" plus experience leading comms for "organizational change, business transformation, or large-scale strategic initiatives" — you clear both comfortably. Washington, DC, so drive-able.

Gaps

The posted band is $110,000–$125,000, which is materially below your target and below every role you have applied to this month — this is the deciding factor, not a detail. The posting does not state a work model, so office expectations are unknown.

Strengths

The required list reads like your operating-model thesis written by someone else: "Build program operating systems including governance, forums, team cadence, decision rights, and risk escalation", "Develop executive communications, business cases, and decision briefs highlighting tradeoffs", and "Partner on change management and capability building for sustainable adoption". Washington, DC is a confirmed location on the requisition, so this one is drive-able. No JD, bar admission or attorney experience is required or even mentioned — "Legal AI" names the product line (CoCounsel, Westlaw), not the candidate.

Gaps

Every impact clause in the posting is commercial — "delivering measurable commercial, customer, product, or operational impact" and "commercial impact assessment" — and you have no revenue-side ownership. Legal technology, SaaS and the Salesforce/Gainsight/Gong stack are all named under Preferred and all new to you. The work model is unsettled: the Workday remoteType field reads "Remote", but the posting's only flexibility language is "work from anywhere for up to 8 weeks per year", which reads office-anchored.
