About The Role

The Internal Communications Manager will develop, drive and deliver the internal communications strategy for Journey Beyond, ensuring team members across the organisation are informed, connected and engaged. This is a hands-on role with significant day-to-day delivery responsibility. You will not only shape the strategy and advise leaders, but also execute it, including content creation, channel management, leadership communications, town halls, campaigns, newsletters and the ongoing operational communications that keep our people informed. You will shape clear and consistent messaging for corporate, frontline and remote employees, and measure the effectiveness of communications to drive continuous improvement. Success in the role is measured by both the quality of the strategy and the effectiveness of its implementation.

This is a part-time national role, based in either our Adelaide North Terrace or Sydney office. As you will be working with teams and stakeholders across multiple locations, some travel will be required, so you will need to be flexible and available to travel as needed. The role sits within the Organisational Development team.

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop, own and drive the organisation’s internal communications strategy and plan, and lead its hands-on implementation and execution across the business
• Advise and influence senior leaders and stakeholders on communication approaches, and drive change through clear, consistent messaging
• Write, create and deliver engaging, high-quality content across a range of internal communication channels, including newsletters and campaigns
• Manage and maintain the internal communications platform, tools and channels on a day-to-day basis, keeping content current, consistent and effective
• Plan, coordinate and deliver internal events, town halls and other initiatives that promote employee engagement, from concept through to execution
• Develop and deliver leadership communications, including executive messaging and key announcements
• Own the day-to-day flow of operational communications that keeps our people informed and engaged across corporate, frontline and remote teams
• Monitor and measure the effectiveness of both the communications strategy and its implementation, and act on insights to continuously improve outcomes
• Ensure all communications are aligned to business objectives, support company culture and are delivered on time and to a high standard
• Identify and deliver opportunities to promote employee engagement and foster a positive company culture
