senior director

Eli Lilly

At Lilly, the work is demanding because patients are waiting. We unite caring with discovery to help make life better for people around the world, knowing that every decision, every detail, and every day matters. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, our over 50,000 employees around the globe take on complex challenges to discover and deliver life-changing medicines, strengthen how health is understood and managed, and support the communities we serve. This is hard, urgent, selfless work—but it’s work worth doing. If you’re driven by purpose and ready to bring your best to work that truly matters for patients, we invite you to join us.
 
The Senior Director, Executive Activation & Content is a senior-level communications leader who serves as the primary writing and advisory partner to a defined portfolio of Lilly’s most senior executives — and as a core architect of the standards, frameworks, and infrastructure that define how executive communications works across the enterprise.
 
This role requires someone who brings equal parts strategic judgment, writing craft, and organizational leadership to the work. Executive deployment decisions start with the Lilly narrative, and this role is central to ensuring the right voice reaches the right audience at the right moment — so that senior leadership communications reflect the goals and business objectives of Lilly.
 
Reporting to the Associate Vice President, Executive Communications, the Senior Director, Executive Activation & Content will develop and steward the authentic voice of each executive in their portfolio, producing high-quality content across the full spectrum of formats — from speeches and remarks to thought leadership, LinkedIn, briefing documents, and video scripts. In a lean, high-impact team, this role carries significant writing scope, serving as the senior content resource for the function alongside the AVP. The Senior Director is the editorial standard-bearer for the function, ensuring every piece of executive content reflects the right voice, tone, and narrative alignment — whether produced internally or by agency partners.
 
The Executive Communications function serves as the enterprise center of excellence for senior leadership communications — setting standards, ensuring narrative coherence, and enabling communicators across the organization. Designed as a multiplier, the function equips communicators who support executives across the leadership team with the tools, standards, and frameworks to do that work consistently. The Senior Director, Executive Activation & Content is a founding contributor to this CoE infrastructure: developing voice guides, playbooks, and shared frameworks that help ensure what each leader says and where they show up reinforces Lilly’s broader narrative and the priorities of the Executive Committee. This is not a role for someone who wants to implement within a defined system — it is a role for someone who wants to help build the system while delivering at the highest level within it.
 
The ideal candidate is a seasoned communications professional who has operated as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, brings a strong and versatile writing portfolio, and has the judgment and instincts to help set the standard for executive communications across a global enterprise. This person is comfortable at the intersection of strategy and execution, thrives in high-stakes environments, and is energized by the opportunity to shape how Lilly’s most senior leaders communicate with the world.
 
The position is located in Indianapolis, reporting to the Associate Vice President, Executive Communications.
