This position typically does have a regular or a standard work schedule; however, work hours could occasionally vary depending on the nature and timing of the client project assigned by People Results.
The Communications Specialist will report to the Managing Director and assist in services including, but not limited to, internal and employee communications, digital and social communications, public and governmental affairs, crisis management, and industry and competitive research.

Compensation: The pay range for this position is $55,000-$105,000 depending on experience, etc. People Results takes into consideration a wide range of factors in making compensation decisions including, but not limited to skill sets, experience, training, qualifications, education and other business and organizational needs.
