Vice President, Media & Corporate Communications

The Opportunity

The Vice President of Media & Corporate Communications will play a defining role in shaping how the world sees and experiences OCVIBE. As the district rises, this leader will architect and amplify the narrative that positions OCVIBE as a benchmark in modern placemaking. More than a development, it’s a movement shaping the future of urban living in Southern California. This role is for a visionary communicator who understands how to translate development into story, complexity into clarity, and ambition into action. You will be the chief architect of OCVIBE’s voice across press, media, corporate affairs, and thought leadership — ensuring every message reflects the district’s purpose, scale, and promise to Anaheim and beyond.

Who You Are
You are a builder — of stories, relationships, and influence. You see communications not just as a function, but as a force that shapes perception, attracts investment, and builds belief. You thrive at the intersection of place, purpose, and possibility — and you’re inspired by the opportunity to define the narrative of a landmark project that will reshape the heart of Orange County.
