  • Corporate Communications / Stakeholder Relations / Issues and Crisis Management: Ensure a corporate communications-first delivery focusing on proactive messaging and storytelling across Mexico based on the strategy and message development created for initiatives, campaigns, announcements, and all FIFA World Cup 2026 departments.

    Manage a FIFA26 stakeholder relations delivery by acting as an integrator between the Hosting Cities' communications teams, the FIFA26 strategy and planning teams, and local national stakeholders across Mexico to ensure that key messaging and related activities and proactive communications plans addressing targeted audiences to mitigate risk and drive communications around key issues.

  • Content Production/Editorial: Commission, develop, oversee, and monitor the delivery and subsequent amplification of all content (text, video, photos, graphics) on all relevant platforms across Mexico – and support all editorial needs within the PR Division.
    Develop, map, and implement a content plan in line with strategies and support the connection to fans and brand narrative, having editorial teams own and operated platforms as well as via media partners and other distribution channels.

  • Digital Products: Support the digital products team in conceptualizing, delivering, and maintaining relevant general public-related products through FIFA-owned channels to accommodate editorial produced in-house and in line with requirements that ensure a FIFA World Cup 2026 stakeholder-first delivery experience on multiple media.
