Tips for Your Head Of Communications Job Search
Quantify your earned media results
Head of communications roles expect proof of impact, not just activity. Replace vague claims with concrete outcomes: coverage placements at named outlets, audience reach, or message adoption rates from executive communications campaigns you led.
Tailor your portfolio to the sector
A nonprofit communications portfolio lands differently at a publicly traded company. Pull the two or three samples that match the hiring organization's context, whether that's crisis response, legislative communications, or brand narrative, and lead with those.
Search by function, not just title
Head of communications jobs are also posted as VP of communications, director of corporate communications, or chief communications officer. Search all relevant variants so you don't miss openings that match your experience level and responsibilities.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head of communications openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a board-level communications sample
Many hiring teams for this role ask candidates to present a past communications strategy or a brief for a hypothetical scenario. Have a clean, presenter-ready case study ready that shows how you aligned messaging to organizational goals under real constraints.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate salary
Get clarity on team size, budget authority, and whether the role owns executive communications before you accept an offer. These structural details determine your actual leverage and visibility inside the organization far more than title alone.
Head Of Communications Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most head of communicationss?
The companies hiring the most head of communicationss right now include JPMorganChase, Citi, and OpenAI, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Demand tends to be strongest at large enterprises, healthcare systems, and mission-driven nonprofits with active public affairs needs.
How many head of communications jobs are remote?
About 56% of head of communications openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the role's dependence on executive relationship-building and real-time media response. Sub-functions like internal communications strategy and content development tend to have the highest remote availability, while crisis communications and executive advisory roles more often require in-person presence.
How do you become a head of communications?
Most people reach this role by building deep expertise in one communications discipline, such as media relations, corporate affairs, or internal communications, then taking on broader team leadership. You progress by owning increasingly high-stakes initiatives, developing executive relationships, and demonstrating that your communications strategy moves measurable organizational outcomes. A background in journalism, public relations, or public affairs is a common starting point.
Can you get hired as a head of communications without senior leadership experience?
It's difficult at large organizations, but smaller companies, startups, and nonprofits regularly hire communications leaders who have managed a small team or run an entire function solo at an earlier-stage organization. Demonstrating that you've owned strategy end-to-end, managed external agency relationships, and advised senior leaders carries more weight than a specific title or org chart position.
What does the head of communications interview process look like?
The process typically moves through an initial recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on communications philosophy and past strategy, and then a panel stage with cross-functional leaders such as the CEO, CMO, or general counsel. Many organizations add a presentation round where you develop and pitch a communications strategy or respond to a simulated crisis scenario, followed by reference checks before an offer.
