Internal Communications Specialist

Side is looking for a talented Internal Communications Manager to support the company at global level. We’re looking for someone with at least five years' experience, who can confidently walk in as an adviser and innovator for our internal comms practices.  

Having recently rebranded, Side is in a phase of experimentation and exploration, so you won’t be walking into a set structure in this role. From an employee standpoint, this rebrand brought five legacy teams together under one brand name, so the focus for you as our Internal Communications Manager will be creating clear comms processes that works for the new setup.   

As we continue to are creatively direct what makes sense for the new brand, we are looking for someone who feels both comfortable and excited by the prospect of a blank canvas, not intimidated by it.

• You’re organized, self-motivated and visionary – you’re someone who already leads meetings and activities comfortably and can see a project through from ideation to execution  
• You have worked with C-Suite and senior leadership before and feel confident advising to that level  
• You’re a strong, internal, communicator, you can quickly understand how teams need to collaborate and the most effective comms to facilitate that 
• You have experience connecting multiple comms streams (we have teams that cross industries, time zones, languages, devices, tech systems) - keeping everyone connected is a challenge 

Requirements:

• Ability to operate with a high level of autonomy
