Brand & Communications is responsible for B Lab's global brand, narrative, communication strategy, and reputation management. The department ensures a consistent, compelling, and mission-aligned public presence for B Lab across all channels, audiences, and markets, spanning strategic communications, public relations, brand identity, integrated campaigns, and digital channels. Brand & Communications plays a critical role in how B Lab is perceived and in how it builds and protects its reputation globally. The department sits within the Chief Impact & Movement Building Officer’s portfolio with Programs & Policy, Partnerships & Development, and Community & Movement, ensuring brand and communications strategy supports and amplifies the organization's wider mission and movement-building work.
Strategic Communications & PR shapes B Lab's public narrative and protects its reputation. The function manages media relations, storytelling, and crisis response, owning external messaging, media relationships, and reputation risk management. The function also provides strategic oversight of internal communications, ensuring coherence between B Lab's internal and external voice.
The Communications & PR Manager owns B Lab's press office and earned media delivery, balancing proactive story pitching and thought leadership placement with reactive press response: building and holding journalist relationships, drafting and issuing statements and releases, and acting as first point of contact for incoming press inquiries across the global network.
Reporting to the Director, Strategic Communications, this role shapes and delivers the earned media plan within the Director's global communications strategy, editorial standards, and crisis protocols: leading proactive pitching, owning media monitoring and insights, and preparing spokesperson briefings. The role requires sound news judgment, comfort operating under time pressure during reactive moments, and the independence to run the press office and represent B Lab publicly on non-crisis media matters, escalating emerging reputational risk to the Director.
This role is highly collaborative with strong stakeholder management skills: works with market PR leads to amplify coverage, facilitate cross-team learning, and uplift regional news highlights; collaborates with the Digital Communications Coordinator and Copywriter to align messaging across earned, owned, and thought leadership channels; and complements Brand & Campaigns' work through media support.

About B Lab
B Lab™ is the nonprofit behind Certified B Corporations™, a community of businesses that meet verified social, environmental, and governance standards. Together, our movement is working towards a more inclusive, equitable, and fair economic system.
Our history
B Lab began in 2006 with the idea that a different kind of economy was not only possible — it was necessary. Our founders Andrew Kassoy, Bart Houlahan, and Jay Coen Gilbert believed there was a better way to do business: better for workers, better for communities, and better for the planet. When our movement’s first 81 Founding B Corps signed the Declaration of Interdependence in 2007, they were not just proposing a better way of doing business. They were proposing a different definition altogether.
What we’ve achieved
B Lab became known for certifying B Corporations™, companies that meet verified standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. But we do much more than that. We help mobilize a global community of businesses committed to collective action on society’s most critical challenges. In 2010, B Lab was part of successfully drafting and passing benefit corporation in Maryland, the first U.S. state to do so. This created a legal framework that allows companies to keep their values of care and community, not just shareholder value, at the forefront. Today, benefit corporation legislation is active in 52 jurisdictions around the world.
Our future
In 2024, leaders from across the network agreed to evolve into a more integrated organization that embodies interdependence. This next iteration of our global network will balance global coherence with local agency to achieve our vision of economic systems change. We are now building this future together.
