Retail Communications Specialist
With more than 1,200 stores, streamlined communication with our associates is critical, and it’s the Retail Communication Specialists who help make this happen.
The Retail Communication Specialists work with Publix business areas to ensure that mass communications sent to our stores follow established protocols. This includes reviewing the content of the message and working with the sender to ensure that the communication uses the appropriate channel, whether an email, the Publix intranet (called Publix Connection), a phone call, or the Publix News magazine. The Specialists also ensure that the communication is easy to understand and devoid of spelling or grammar errors.
The Communications Specialists also analyze the email being sent to stores and develop reports to explain trends and provide recommendations for improvement. They develop and maintain communication for Publix Connection, which includes writing copy and editing images. Furthermore, the Specialists coordinate the publication of weekly communications, such as Business Growth Plans, Apron’s product forecasts, and messages from Publix executive retail leaders. They also coordinate replies to store manager and store suggestion box submissions. These responses help to educate and inform associates of company events, programs and goals they may not be aware of.
