Updating Field Communications Job Family

Monica Gomez requested to merge field-comms-job-family-updates into main

Why is this change being made?

Updating the Field Communications job family to reflect two key changes:

  1. Updating job role naming conventions.
  2. Adding a net-new Staff Field Communications Manager (grade 8).

💡 Provide a detailed answer to the question on why this change is being proposed, in accordance with our value of Transparency.

  1. Updating job role naming conventions to align closer to Field Enablement Program Managers, the other core group in the Field Enablement team. This provides more standardized paths across the full organization and better aligns Field Communications role names to industry best-practices for internal communications roles.
  2. Adding a net-new Staff Field Communications Manager (grade 8) to provide a growth path for senior ICs on the team who are not interested in management positions.

CHANGEME - add the details saying why, not just what.
