Your new role

We are looking for a Junior Internal Communications Executive who is eager to learn, gets a buzz from good writing, and genuinely cares about how a company talks to its people. This is a hands‑on role where you will help keep our employees informed, engaged and connected – from drafting a weekly newsletter to helping coordinate a company‑wide all‑hands. A background in tech is helpful but not required. What matters most is that you are enthusiastic, proactive and have a feel for clear, human communication. You will be supported by an experienced comms team and given real responsibility from day one.

Please be aware that we may close this position early if we receive a high volume of applications, so we encourage you to apply promptly.

What you’ll be doing

• Content & Channels
  • Draft, edit and publish internal communications across multiple channels, including email newsletters, intranet posts and Slack announcements.
  • Help maintain a content calendar to ensure consistent and timely communications across the organisation.
  • Contribute ideas for improving how we communicate with employees at all levels.
  • Support the production of visual assets such as banners, slides and simple graphics, working with design templates.
• Events & Campaigns
  • Assist in the planning and logistics of internal events such as all‑hands meetings, town halls and employee engagement initiatives.
  • Help coordinate communications around company campaigns, product launches and people‑related announcements.
  • Track engagement and gather feedback after communications and events to help the team improve over time.
• Day-to-Day Support
  • Manage inbound requests from teams who need communications support, helping to triage and prioritise workload.
  • Keep internal resources and documentation up to date, including intranet pages and comms toolkits.
  • Learn how to handle sensitive communications with care and discretion.
  • Support company‑wide activities such as all‑company announcements and All Hands decks.

What you’ll bring to the role

• Experience & Background
  • 1‑2 years' experience in a communications, marketing, content or related role.
  • Some exposure to an internal or employee communications context is a bonus but not essential.
  • Comfortable working in a fast‑moving environment, ideally a tech company or similar.
• Skills & Attributes
  • Strong writing skills – you take care over words and know that tone matters.
  • A genuine enthusiasm for communication and for understanding what makes people tick.
  • Organised and dependable; able to keep track of multiple tasks and meet deadlines without being chased.
  • Comfortable using digital tools such as email platforms, intranets or project management software (training provided), and working with AI.
  • Hungry to learn, open to feedback and keen to grow quickly.
  • A positive, can‑do attitude and the confidence to suggest ideas even early on and work closely with those senior to you.
