3What this role really is

This job is about shaping how organisational changes reach staff. You explain the why and the what behind changes, turning complex plans into clear messages for everyone from the shop floor to senior leaders.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Simpplr / Staffbase (Internal Comms Platform) Advanced

Managing audience segmentation, building multi-stage communication campaigns, analysing engagement trends (opens, clicks, comments) to recommend strategy shifts, and managing platform governance for your projects.

Qualtrics / SurveyMonkey Enterprise (Survey & Sentiment) Expert

Designing and deploying change readiness and pulse surveys. You'll be analysing both qualitative and quantitative data to identify resistance themes and measure shifts in employee sentiment, not just pulling raw data.

Asana / Monday.com (Project Management) Advanced

Designing and managing the full communications project plan for your initiatives, tracking tasks, deadlines, and dependencies. You'll keep everything organised and on track.

Miro (Collaboration & Journey Mapping) Advanced

Facilitating stakeholder mapping and employee journey mapping workshops. You'll use Miro to visually plan out communication flows and identify key touchpoints for your projects.

Confluence (Knowledge Management) Advanced

Owning and maintaining the change communications knowledge base for your projects, ensuring all plans, templates, and key information are well-documented and easily accessible.

Power BI / Excel (Analytics & Reporting) Advanced

Building custom dashboards in Power BI to track comms cascade effectiveness and channel performance. You'll also use Power Query in Excel to merge data from various sources for deeper analysis, going beyond just reading existing dashboards.

Workday HCM / SAP SuccessFactors (HRIS) Intermediate

Independently pulling and refining complex audience distribution lists for targeted communications based on attributes like tenure, location, and specific job roles. You'll know how to get the data you need for precise segmentation.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Message Content & Tone Drafts content following established guidelines and briefs. All final content requires supervisor approval. Independently drafts and refines content for routine communications. Seeks manager approval for sensitive or high-impact messages. Owns the development of core messages and narrative for projects. Consults with Legal/HR for sensitive content, but typically has final say on tone and delivery within approved strategy.
Communication Channel Selection Schedules content on pre-determined channels as instructed by supervisor. Proposes appropriate channels for specific messages based on audience and urgency, seeking manager approval. Designs multi-channel communication plans for projects, justifying channel choices based on audience personas and desired impact. Informs manager of choices, consults on significant deviations.
Vendor/Tool Selection (Small Scale) No authority. May research options for supervisor. May recommend specific tools or small vendors (e.g., survey platform add-ons) to manager, but no budget authority. Can recommend and initiate procurement for small-scale comms tools or specialist support up to £10K, after consulting with manager and following procurement guidelines. Anything larger needs manager approval.
Project Communications Strategy Executes specific comms tasks within a larger strategy defined by others. Develops comms plans for specific workstreams or smaller projects, aligned with overall programme strategy. Seeks manager approval. Owns and designs the end-to-end communications strategy for medium-complexity transformation projects, including objectives, audience, channels, and measurement. Consults manager and project leads for alignment, but has significant autonomy in execution.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Change Readiness Score Improvement
How much our employees feel ready and willing to embrace a specific change.
Target · Improve by 15% from project start to launch phase.

If the baseline readiness score was 60%, we'd aim for 75% by project launch. This tells us your comms are working to build understanding and desire.

Key Message Understanding
The percentage of employees who can accurately recall and explain the core messages of a transformation project.
Target · Achieve an 80% 'understood the key messages' score on post-launch surveys.

After a new system rollout, 82% of surveyed employees correctly identified the top three benefits and how it impacts their daily work. That's a win for clear messaging.

Negative Sentiment Reduction
The decrease in negative comments or feedback related to the change project on internal channels.
Target · Reduce negative sentiment comments on the intranet and internal forums by 30% during the project lifecycle.

We saw a 35% drop in 'this is confusing' or 'why are we doing this?' comments after your targeted Q&A sessions and updated FAQs. That's you tackling resistance head-on.

Communications Delivery on Schedule
The proportion of planned communications that are delivered on their agreed-upon dates.
Target · Maintain a 95% on-schedule delivery rate for all planned communications.

Out of 40 planned comms pieces for the quarter, 38 went out exactly when they should have. The two delays were due to unavoidable legal review, not your planning.

Stakeholder Buy-in and Trust
How much project leads and senior stakeholders trust your expertise and proactively involve you in strategic discussions about change.
  • You're invited to key planning meetings early, not just for 'comms at the end'. Project leads ask for your advice on tricky situations. They actively champion the messages you've crafted, rather than changing them last minute. You'll hear things like, 'What does [Your Name] think about how we should tell people this?'
Quality of Narrative and Storytelling
The ability to craft a compelling, consistent, and human story around complex changes that resonates with diverse audiences.
  • Feedback from employees and managers that messages feel 'real' and 'understandable', not corporate speak. Your narratives are consistently used by leaders in their own communications. You can see a clear thread connecting all the different communications over time, building a cohesive picture.
Mentorship Effectiveness
How well you guide and develop junior members of the team, helping them grow their skills and confidence.
  • Junior team members seek your advice and praise your guidance. They show measurable improvement in their content drafting, planning, and stakeholder engagement skills. They're able to take on more complex tasks independently after working with you.
Proactive Resistance Management
Your ability to anticipate and address potential points of resistance before they become major issues, using communication as a key tool.
  • You're identifying potential 'hot spots' in stakeholder mapping and developing targeted comms plans for them. You're bringing solutions to project teams for anticipated employee concerns, rather than just reacting to problems. You're seen as someone who helps 'defuse' situations before they escalate.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Real Human Difference

You get a genuine buzz from seeing your communications help someone understand a difficult change, or from hearing that a manager felt better equipped to talk to their team because of your talking points. It's about easing anxiety and building clarity.

An employee sends a direct email thanking you for a clear explanation of a new policy, or a project lead tells you that adoption rates are higher than expected because 'people actually understood what we were doing'.

Solving Complex Communication Puzzles

You enjoy taking a really complicated, multi-layered business problem – like 'how do we tell everyone about this merger without causing panic?' – and figuring out the perfect sequence of messages, channels, and stories to make it land. It's like being a strategic detective.

You're presented with a challenge like 'we need to announce a major system change that impacts 5,000 people across 10 countries, and it's not popular'. Your first thought isn't panic, but 'right, how do we break this down?'

Influencing Without Direct Authority

You thrive on the challenge of getting senior leaders and project teams to listen to your communications advice, even when they initially think 'it's just an email'. You love seeing your strategic input genuinely change the direction of a project's communication approach.

A project steering committee initially dismisses the need for a change champion network, but after your presentation on resistance management and ADKAR, they not only agree but ask you to lead its setup.

What frustrates people
  • The Last-Minute Invite: Being brought into a project weeks after key decisions have been made and being asked to 'just write the comms' for a flawed strategy.
  • The CEO Goes Rogue: Your meticulously planned, multi-stage announcement is torpedoed when the CEO casually mentions the entire project in an all-hands Q&A before you're ready.
  • Death by Committee: Your clear, empathetic message gets watered down into meaningless corporate jargon after reviews by 12 different stakeholders from Legal, HR, and Compliance.
  • The Broken Cascade: You craft the perfect manager talking points, only to discover a week later that half the managers never had the conversation with their teams. You get blamed for the information gap.
  • The 'Shoot the Messenger' Syndrome': Bearing the brunt of employee anger and frustration for decisions you had no part in making (e.g., layoffs, benefit changes).
  • The ROI Battle: Constantly having to defend your work's value with 'soft' metrics against departments that can show direct revenue or cost savings.
  • Change Saturation: Trying to land a critical message when employees are already dealing with three other major transformations and have simply stopped listening.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine with minimal interruptions.
  • Direct control over project decisions or budgets (beyond your comms budget).
  • A role where you only deliver good news or universally popular messages.
  • A clear, linear path without political navigation or conflicting priorities.
  • A job where every single piece of your work makes it to production exactly as you designed it.

8Who you work with

You'll directly influence how smoothly our business transformations land. Your work helps reduce employee resistance, speeds up the adoption of new ways of working, and keeps morale steady during periods of significant change. Get it right, and our projects deliver their benefits quicker; get it wrong, and we face delays, disengagement, and potentially, higher staff turnover.

Inside the business
  • Project Leads and Programme Managers (for specific transformation initiatives)
  • HR Business Partners (especially for people-related changes)
  • Senior Leaders and Executives (who need to champion the change)
  • Legal and Compliance Teams (for message review and risk mitigation)
  • Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Change Champion Networks
Outside the business
  • Specialist communications agencies (for specific campaigns or creative support, on occasion)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2-3 years of experience in a dedicated internal communications or change communications role, where you've owned deliverables for specific projects.
  • Proven ability to write clear, concise, and engaging content for diverse internal audiences.
  • Experience working with internal communications platforms (like Simpplr or Staffbase) and basic project management tools.
  • A foundational understanding of change management principles and why communications are critical to successful transformation.
  • Experience in analysing basic communication metrics (e.g., open rates, click-throughs) and drawing initial insights.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced AI-Powered Sentiment & Trend Analysis

Moving beyond basic keyword spotting, you'll need to use more sophisticated AI tools that can understand nuance, context, and even sarcasm in employee feedback. This will allow for much faster, deeper insights into sentiment shifts, emerging concerns, and the effectiveness of your resistance management strategies.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) · Emotion Detection Models · Trend Forecasting · Custom Model Training

  • This month: Research dedicated sentiment analysis platforms (beyond basic survey tools) and their capabilities.
  • Next quarter: Explore free online courses or tutorials on NLP basics and how it applies to text analysis.
  • Month 4-6: Propose a pilot project to use a more advanced sentiment analysis tool on a specific set of employee feedback, comparing its insights to manual review.
  • Month 7-9: Work with our data team (if available) to understand how we could potentially integrate more advanced sentiment analysis into our existing reporting.

Quick win: Start using the sentiment analysis features within Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey more deeply, and pay attention to how it categorises different types of feedback beyond just positive/negative.

Integrated Communications Ecosystem Management

As our tech stack grows, the ability to see how all your communication platforms (internal comms, surveys, collaboration tools, HRIS) connect and share data will be vital. You'll need to understand how to pull a holistic view of employee engagement and comms effectiveness across different systems, rather than just looking at each in isolation.

API Integrations (Conceptual) · Data Flow Mapping · Single Source of Truth · Cross-Platform Analytics

  • This month: Spend time with our IT or HRIT teams to understand how our current comms tools (Simpplr, Qualtrics) integrate with our HRIS (Workday/SuccessFactors).
  • Next quarter: Create a simple diagram of how information currently flows (or should flow) between your key comms platforms.
  • Month 4-6: Identify one specific data integration challenge you face (e.g., getting real-time audience lists) and work with IT to explore potential solutions.
  • Month 7-9: Propose a small project to pull data from two different platforms into a single Power BI dashboard to demonstrate the value of cross-platform insights.

Quick win: Make a habit of asking 'where does this data come from?' and 'how does this connect to X system?' in every meeting. This will help you build your mental map of our tech ecosystem.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry conferences and webinars focused on change communications, internal comms, or organisational transformation (e.g., IoIC, CIPR, Prosci conferences).
  • Participating in professional networking groups or online communities for change management and internal communications specialists.
  • Taking advanced online courses in areas like data storytelling, behavioural science, or digital analytics for communications.
  • Seeking out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues or lead internal workshops on communications best practices.

What's rising in its place

This is where the work is heading, and the higher pay with it. Get fluent here and the shift stops being a threat and starts being your edge.

Advanced Data Storytelling for Impact

It's no longer enough to just report comms metrics; you'll need to connect them directly to business outcomes. As data becomes more accessible, the ability to weave a compelling narrative around numbers – showing how comms drives adoption, reduces attrition, or speeds up project delivery – will be crucial for proving your value and securing budget. Leaders want to see the 'so what?'

  • Correlation vs. Causation
  • Visualisation Best Practices
  • Business Outcome Linkage
  • Executive-Level Reporting

Ethical AI & Bias Detection in Comms

As we lean more on AI for content generation and sentiment analysis, understanding its ethical implications – like potential biases in language, data privacy concerns, and the risk of 'hallucinations' – becomes paramount. You'll be responsible for ensuring our AI-assisted comms are fair, accurate, and trustworthy, especially during sensitive transformations.

  • Algorithmic Bias
  • Prompt Engineering for Fairness
  • Data Privacy in AI Tools
  • AI Output Validation

Where it leads

The career path, and where it branches

Senior Communications Strategy Manager is a start, not a ceiling. Each step below asks for new skills and hands back more autonomy.

  1. Lead Change Communications Strategist (L4)

    3-5 years in the Senior Communications Strategy Manager role

    This is a step up to leading larger, more complex transformation programmes, often managing multiple comms workstreams and navigating highly senior stakeholders. You'd be architecting the integrated comms strategy for things like a full ERP implementation or a major organisational restructure.

    • Defining the overall comms strategy for an entire transformation portfolio.
    • Managing external agencies and vendors at a larger scale.
    • Developing change comms governance models for multi-year programmes.
    • Presenting directly to executive committees and steering boards.

  2. Senior Narrative Designer / Employee Experience Comms Specialist (IC Path)

    3-5 years in the Senior Communications Strategy Manager role

    This is a specialist Individual Contributor (IC) path, focusing your expertise on crafting high-impact narratives and shaping the employee experience through communications. You'd become the expert voice on how we tell our company story, especially around culture and values, without taking on direct management responsibilities.

    • Developing and maintaining the overarching company narrative for internal audiences.
    • Leading the creation of high-impact, multimedia content (e.g., video scripts, interactive stories).
    • Consulting across the business on how to align departmental comms with the core narrative.
    • Acting as a subject matter expert for crisis communications and sensitive messaging.
Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a lot of comms work is about speed and getting that first draft out. Imagine cutting down the grunt work, freeing you up for the strategic thinking, the tricky stakeholder conversations, and the deep analysis that truly makes a difference. That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a superpower. AI tools can handle the repetitive, time-consuming parts of your job, letting you focus on the human touch, the nuanced messaging, and the political navigation that only you can do. Think of it as having an incredibly efficient assistant who never sleeps.

First Draft Factory

Use a generative AI (like ChatGPT or Claude) to create initial drafts of standard communications – FAQs, project updates, intranet articles, or even holding statements – from a project brief or meeting notes. It handles the basic structure and tone, letting you focus on refining the message, adding that human touch, and ensuring it hits all the right notes. This means less staring at a blank page.

Sentiment Sonar

Feed open-ended feedback from pulse surveys, internal social channels, or employee comments into an AI model. It can instantly categorise themes, identify pockets of high resistance, and spot emerging rumours without you having to manually read thousands of comments. This gives you a real-time pulse on employee sentiment, helping you react faster and more strategically.

Persona-Powered Messaging

Provide a core message and ask the AI to rewrite it for different employee personas you've identified. For example, 'Make this more direct and data-driven for an engineering leader' or 'Make this more supportive and reassuring for a frontline agent'. This ensures your messages resonate deeply with each audience, saving you hours of manual tailoring.

Change Strategy Assistant

Use an AI to quickly research and summarise best practices for communicating specific, complex changes. Need to know the key communication challenges for a post-merger integration of two sales teams? Ask the AI. It provides a solid starting point for your strategic thinking, giving you insights in minutes, not hours.
