SR LEAD COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATIONS

Lumen Technologies is transforming from a legacy telecom to becoming the trusted network for AI-and we're looking for a storyteller who can help bring our growth story to life. The Senior Lead Commercial Communications will lead external communications for Lumen's Acceleration & Growth Team (AGT), helping to shape how the market sees our growth, partnerships, and momentum.
