The work

Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you’ll own the internal communications strategy, editorial calendar and operating rhythm, taking plans from idea to execution. You’ll advise the CPO, CEO and executive team, and write leadership messages, company updates and talking points.

The role leads communications for company-wide and cross-functional change, giving managers context and toolkits to share with their teams. It also owns and scales the intranet and channels including Slack, SharePoint, Confluence and email, setting standards for reaching the right audiences. You’ll plan and produce all-hands meetings and leadership forums, and build a speaking programme across live, filmed and written formats with the marketing and brand team.

You’ll work with People, Talent and Total Rewards on employee programmes, and with Marketing and Communications on consistent internal and external messages.

You’ll use AI tools to scale communications, personalise content and improve quality within security and data-handling requirements. You’ll also create voice, tone and style guidelines, templates and toolkits, and tell stories about launches, mission wins and team achievements across locations and newly joined teams.
