Role Overview 

At Comcast NBCUniversal, we believe our employees are the foundation for our success.  It is their unique voices and visions that spur our innovations. We strive to make every employee feel valued and respected for who they are and the unique contributions they make.  We believe that a diverse and inclusive company is a more innovative and successful company, which is why we aim to infuse Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) into all aspects of our culture and our business. For us, DE&I is not a program - it is a central element of our credo and our DNA. Our approach to DE&I is focused on five key pillars: Governance, Workforce, Supplier Diversity, Programming, and Community Impact.

The candidate will be challenged to use critical and innovative thinking and manage multiple projects.  The position will be a dual report to the Executive Director of DE&I Governance and Executive Director of DE&I Public Policy.
