Director of Communications
Knightsbridge Robertson Surrette
About Irving Shipbuilding
Canada’s National Shipbuilder, Irving Shipbuilding, plays a central role in strengthening Canada’s defence capability and industrial future. Headquartered in Halifax, the company has built over 80% of Canada’s current naval fleet and leads major national programs under the National Shipbuilding Strategy.
Role Responsibilities
As Director of Communications, you will provide enterprise‑wide leadership for internal and external communications. Deeply connected to operations, you will ensure that communications are intentional, credible, and closely aligned with organizational priorities and operating plans.
You will lead the development of clear, people‑centred internal communications that support a strong, connected culture, ensuring the workforce understands annual priorities, performance expectations, and strategic direction. Externally, you will guide disciplined, performance‑based communications that reinforce Irving Shipbuilding’s role as a trusted national partner to the Government of Canada.
A visible, trusted advisor, you will build strong relationships across the senior leadership team and with key external partners. You will translate complex priorities into compelling narratives, foster cross‑functional dialogue, and help leaders understand not only what should be communicated, but when and why. You will steward a high‑performing communications team, establishing standards of clarity, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Ideal Candidate Profile
As the ideal candidate, you are an accomplished communications leader with significant experience in large, operationally intensive, and highly regulated environments, ideally within industrial, defence, manufacturing, or other complex private‑sector settings. You understand how to lead communications in environments defined by scale, operational tempo, and a mix of unionized and non‑unionized workforces, and you bring strong business acumen that enables you to connect operational reality with coherent, forward‑looking communications strategies.
You are a disciplined and intentional communicator who delivers measured, credible messaging that reinforces organizational priorities, and you excel at building trusting, influential relationships with executives, operational leaders, and cross‑functional partners.
A strong people leader, you develop and motivate high‑performing teams with clarity, accountability, and shared purpose, while fostering collaboration and continuous improvement. Known for your resilience, steadiness, and presence in fast‑paced, high‑visibility environments, you navigate ambiguity with confidence and provide sound counsel during moments of complexity.
Above all, you bring the energy, judgment, and strategic perspective required to translate strategy, performance, and complex priorities into clear, compelling narratives that drive alignment, execution, and long‑term organizational success.
