Job Summary:

The Health, Safety, Environment & Operations Integrity (HSE & OI) Communications Senior Specialist plays a key role within the Performance unit, working as part of a small high-impact team responsible for shaping how SLB communicates one of its most critical priorities: protecting people, strengthening operational performance and driving a culture of continuous improvement.

This role supports the development and execution of modern communication strategies that clearly articulate the HSE & OI narratives, drive engagement, and showcase SLB's performance, innovation and leadership across the energy industry.

You'll partner closely with HSE & OI leadership and global communications teams to translate complex technical topics - safety, risk, performance, compliance - into clear, compelling and human-centered content that resonates with employees and external stakeholders.

The role requires strong storytelling skills and the ability to connect functional priorities with broader company strategy, industry trends and real-world impact. Because the team is small and highly specialized, the role demands a high degree of autonomy, confidence, and the ability to work independently while partnering closely with senior HSE & OI leadership.

Essential responsibilities:

Strategy & planning

• Support major HSE & OI initiatives and campaigns, including safety culture, operational performance, sustainability and continuous improvement.

Content & storytelling

• Create clear, engaging content that simplifies complex technical topics and connects them to real-world impact.
• Translate HSE & OI priorities (safety performance, risk management, compliance, operational excellence) into compelling stories for internal and external audiences.
• Develop thought leadership and innovation stories that position SLB as a leader in safe, high-performance operations.

Campaigns & channels

• Plan and execute multi-channel campaigns across owned, earned, shared and paid platforms.
• Continuously improve communication channels (intranet, email, digital signage, webcasts, social) to increase reach and engagement.
• Ensure messaging is consistent, on-brand and aligned with SLB's corporate narrative.

Measurement & impact

• Track and analyze communication effectiveness (open rates, engagement, click- through rates and other key metrics).
• Use insights to refine content, improve performance and inform future campaigns.

Collaboration & alignment

• Partner with Executive, Internal, External, Brand, Division and Regional Communications teams to deliver integrated campaigns.
• Work closely with HSE & OI executive leaders and subject matter experts to ensure accurate, timely and impactful messaging.
• Ensure alignment with SLB brand standards and corporate messaging.

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor´s degree in Communications, Journalism and other related field
• 1-3 years of professional experience in communications, journalism and other related field. Candidate with additional years of experience are also encouraged to apply
• Strong writing, editing and storytelling skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical content
• Experience developing and executing communications strategies in a global, matrixed organization
• Ability to connect technical topics (safety, operations, performance) to broader business and industry narratives
• Experience managing multi-channel campaigns and editorial planning
• Comfort working with data and communication metrics to drive improvement
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to influence stakeholders at all levels
• Fluency in English required

Benefits:

• Competitive salary.
• We offer private healthcare for employees and their families as well as subsidised dental care.
• We provide well-being programs such as Employee Mental health support and health and wellness coaching.
• Generous private employee-funded pension contributions.
