The Role
As Manager, External Communications, you will help bring CCC's external communications strategy to life through content development, media relations, thought leadership and announcement execution. Working closely with the Director, External Communications, you will help transform business priorities, research, product innovations, and industry insights into compelling stories that strengthen CCC's reputation and visibility across the insurance and automotive ecosystem.
This role is best suited for a communicator who enjoys building and delivering programs as much as helping shape them. Working within the external communications strategy established by the Director, you will own defined projects end-to-end, develop the materials that power the team’s work, and turn announcements, research, executive appearances and media opportunities into coordinated programs across earned, owned, executive, employee and partner channels. We measure success by impact, not activity: the right story, in the right place, reaching the audiences that matter most to CCC.

- Create clear, compelling content across press releases, media pitches, newsroom stories, bylined articles, Q&As, talking points, briefing materials and social channels, with strong news value, proof points and executive or customer perspectives.

- Keep media resources for the newsroom updated, including the company fact sheet, media kit and other key content.
Announcements and amplification:
- In partnership with the Director and PR agency, support execution of communications plans for launches, partnerships, events and other business milestones, including press materials, media lists, embargo coordination and launch-day plans.
- Turn CCC research and insights into newsworthy stories and extend their reach through earned, owned and shared channels.
- Manage routine announcements, such as packaged product updates and partner press releases, through Legal, Investor Relations and Product approvals.
- Lead amplification planning and execution for key announcements, research, speaking engagements, podcasts and media opportunities, developing content packages across executive, newsroom, employee, social and partner channels to maximize visibility and engagement.
- Support coverage tracking and results reporting for key announcements, setting clear expectations with executives before launch and sharing outcomes afterward.
Media relations:
- Build and maintain relationships with insurance, collision repair, and automotive trade reporters; develop pitches, coordinate responses to inbound inquiries, and help identify timely media opportunities.
- Follow news, industry trends and competitor activity to identify timely story angles, and connect CCC's business priorities to the conversations reporters are already having.
- Manage the media relations inbox, coverage tracker, and media lists.
Leadership and SME visibility:
- Identify subject matter experts across CCC with perspectives that can strengthen the company’s external voice and help develop their ideas into authentic social and thought leadership content.
- Develop visibility opportunities and content for executives and subject matter experts, including thought leadership, leadership platforms and forums, speaking opportunities, contributed articles and social content, in partnership with the Director and other key marketing stakeholders.
- Prepare and support executives and subject matter experts for interviews, speeches, panels, podcasts and briefings.
- Extend executive and SME perspectives and appearances, as well as CCC research and earned media, into high-impact content across owned and social channels.
Projects, operations and monitoring:
- Own selected projects from planning through execution, keeping workstreams organized, stakeholders informed, and deliverables on schedule.
- Identify award and speaking opportunities that showcase CCC’s business, products, people and customer successes; manage the awards and speaking calendar; and develop strong submissions in partnership with internal teams and the PR agency.
- Partner with CCC’s PR agency on day-to-day execution, maintaining the team’s communications punch list, tracking deliverables, opportunities and outstanding actions, and helping keep workstreams moving against priorities established by the Director.
- Monitor media, competitor and industry activity to identify storytelling opportunities and flag emerging reputational issues; support issues and crisis response as directed.
- Track results including coverage, awards, share of voice, and message pull-through, using insights to strengthen future communications.
Requirements:
- 5 to 8 years of experience in communications, media relations, public relations or a related field. Experience in insurance, financial services, technology or another highly regulated industry is strongly preferred, but we welcome strong communicators from other industries who bring a desire to learn.
- Exceptional writing and editing skills. You can develop strong original drafts, adapt to different executive voices, and use AI thoughtfully while maintaining accuracy, originality, and quality.
- Strong news judgment and storytelling instincts, with the ability to identify compelling angles, connect business priorities to timely conversations and translate complex or technical information into clear, audience-appropriate communications.
- Experience supporting media relations, developing pitches and building relationships with trade, business or B2B reporters.
- Experience developing executive communications and visibility content, including thought leadership, speaking support, social content and briefing materials.
- Strong project management skills and a record of moving multiple workstreams from concept through execution in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.
- Sound judgment when navigating sensitive, legal, regulatory, or reputational considerations, including knowing when to seek input or escalate an issue.
- Bachelor’s degree in communications, public relations, journalism, marketing or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred Qualifications

- Experience turning earned media, research, executive appearances and other communications moments into compelling content across owned, social and emerging channels.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Corporate Communications Specialist
Frame your degree for specialty occupation
Your bachelor's degree needs to align directly with the role, not just communications broadly. A degree in journalism, public relations, or strategic communications carries more weight in an H-1B specialty occupation determination than a general liberal arts credential.
Target companies with LCA filing history
Corporate communications roles at mid-size and enterprise companies generate consistent LCA filings. Use OFLC public disclosure data to verify which employers have certified positions matching your job title before you apply, so you're targeting proven sponsors.
Search verified sponsors on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified LCA sponsorship history for communications roles, searchable by city and job type. Start your search there to focus your applications on companies that have already committed to the sponsorship process.
Align your portfolio to specialty occupation evidence
Gather writing samples, campaign briefs, and media strategy documents that demonstrate specialized expertise, not just general content work. USCIS adjudicators look for evidence the role requires degree-level knowledge, so your portfolio doubles as sponsorship documentation.
Clarify the LCA prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Before signing, ask your employer to confirm the prevailing wage tier on the LCA using the OFLC Wage Search for your specific metro area. Communications roles vary widely by level, and a mismatch between your offer and the certified wage creates filing complications.
Time your offer acceptance around your OPT end date
If you're on F-1 OPT, your employer needs enough lead time to file the H-1B petition before your work authorization expires. The cap-gap rule protects your status if your OPT ends between April and October 1, but only if the petition is timely filed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Corporate Communications Specialist role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the role genuinely requires a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as communications, public relations, journalism, or marketing. Roles that accept any degree, or list a degree as preferred rather than required, are more likely to face a Request for Evidence from USCIS. The job description language your employer uses in the LCA matters significantly.
What visa options exist for Corporate Communications Specialists beyond the H-1B?
Australian nationals can pursue the E-3 visa, which covers specialty occupations and has no lottery. Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify under the TN visa if the role fits a qualifying USMCA profession. F-1 graduates can work under OPT or STEM OPT while seeking sponsored employment. Each path has different eligibility rules and timelines, so your nationality shapes your strategy.
Which employers sponsor Corporate Communications Specialist roles?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified sponsorship history for communications roles, so you can browse companies that have already filed LCAs for similar positions. Large corporations, healthcare systems, financial institutions, and technology firms are among the most consistent sponsors, as they maintain in-house communications functions that require specialized, degree-level expertise.
Does a communications degree from outside the U.S. qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Foreign degrees are accepted if they're determined to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree in a relevant field. USCIS accepts credential evaluations from recognized organizations to establish equivalency. A three-year Australian bachelor's degree in communications is generally found equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree, though the evaluator's determination and the employer's petition language both factor into adjudication.
Can a Corporate Communications Specialist self-petition for a green card?
Self-petition isn't typically available for this role. EB-2 National Interest Waiver self-petitions require demonstrating exceptional influence in a field of substantial national importance, a high bar for communications professionals. Most follow the employer-sponsored EB-2 or EB-3 route, which requires a PERM labor certification filed by the employer before the immigrant petition can proceed.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Corporate Communications Specialist jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
