1What this role really is

You'll be the person making sure everyone in the company knows what's going on, from big company news to everyday updates. Think of yourself as the internal news editor, making sure messages are clear, timely, and actually land with our people. It's about helping everyone feel connected and in the loop, which, honestly, is harder than it sounds in a growing business.

2What you'd actually use

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

3What 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 inWhere you are nowThe step above
Content Approval (Routine)Draft content for review by manager.Approve routine content for owned channels (e.g., newsletter articles, Slack posts) within established guidelines; escalate sensitive content.Approve most content for specific campaigns; consult Director on executive-level messaging.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

On-time Delivery Rate
Making sure scheduled communications go out exactly when they're supposed to.
Target · 98% on-time delivery for all scheduled communications.

If we have 50 scheduled comms in a month, you'd aim for no more than one late send. This means the weekly newsletter, policy updates, and event invites are always on time.

Email Open & Click-Through Rates
How many people actually open our emails and click on the links inside.
Target · Achieve average email open rates of 60%+ and click-through rates of 20%+ for company-wide newsletters.

Our weekly 'Company Buzz' email typically gets 55% open rate and 18% click-through. You'd be looking to push those numbers up by trying different subject lines or content formats.

Content Publishing Errors
The number of mistakes in published content, like typos, broken links, or incorrect information.
Target · Reduce content publishing errors to fewer than one per month across all owned channels.

Catching that a link in the intranet post goes to the wrong document, or a date for an event is incorrect, before it goes live. This means double-checking everything.

Intranet Page Views & Engagement
How many people are actually looking at the content you put on the intranet and how they interact with it.
Target · Increase average page views by 10% and comments/likes by 15% on key articles you publish.

If the 'New HR Policy' page got 500 views last quarter, you'd aim for 550+ this quarter, perhaps by promoting it better in the newsletter or on Teams.

Clarity & Relevance of Messaging
How well employees understand the messages you send and how relevant they feel those messages are to their work.
  • Feedback from pulse surveys (e.g., 'Do you understand company priorities?'), direct comments from employees or managers, fewer follow-up questions to HR or leadership after major announcements. You'll know it's working when people say 'that was really clear' or 'I actually found that useful'.
Channel Effectiveness
How well our different communication channels (intranet, email, Teams) are working together to deliver information.
  • Feedback from your manager and peers on how well you're using the right channel for the right message. For instance, using Teams for quick updates and the newsletter for deeper dives. Are people finding information easily? Are they getting 'comms fatigue' from too many emails?
Proactive Comms Identification
Spotting opportunities to communicate important information before it becomes a problem or a question.
  • You're suggesting new topics for the newsletter or anticipating questions from employees about an upcoming change and drafting proactive messages. It's about thinking a step ahead, not just reacting to requests.
Stakeholder Satisfaction (Project Level)
How happy your internal clients (like HR or a department head) are with the communications support you provide for their projects.
  • Positive feedback during project debriefs, repeat requests for your support on new initiatives, and a general sense that you're a helpful, reliable partner. They'll tell your manager you made their life easier.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Seeing Your Words Make a Difference

You get a real buzz from crafting a clear message that helps someone understand a new process, or seeing high open rates on a newsletter you put together. You like knowing your work connects people.

An employee tells you that the recent announcement about new benefits was the clearest explanation they've ever seen, or you see a spike in intranet traffic after you've promoted a new article.

Being the 'Go-To' for Information

You enjoy being in the know and helping others get up to speed. You're happy when colleagues come to you asking, 'What's the latest on X?' because they trust you to have the answer or know where to find it.

A manager asks for your advice on the best way to communicate a team update, or you're brought into a project early because they recognise the value of good comms.

Mastering the Craft of Communication

You're always looking for ways to improve your writing, learn new digital tools, or understand how to make messages more impactful. You enjoy the process of refining content and experimenting with different approaches.

You spend time researching best practices for email subject lines, or you experiment with different visual layouts in the newsletter to see what gets more engagement.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Last to Know' Syndrome: Being informed of a major organisational change at 4 PM on a Friday and being expected to have a comprehensive plan ready by Monday morning.
  • The Endless Approval Gauntlet: A simple announcement needing sign-off from HR, Legal, Marketing, and three VPs, all of whom want to wordsmith it.
  • The 'Make it Pretty' Perception: Constantly fighting to be seen as a strategic advisor, not just the 'newsletter and party planning committee'.
  • Translating Corporate Gibberish: Receiving a dense document full of jargon and being tasked with turning it into a compelling, one-paragraph update for employees.
  • The Rogue Executive: A senior leader going 'off-script' in a meeting, creating confusion and forcing you into clean-up mode.
What this role does not give you
  • Direct people management responsibilities (not at this level).
  • Full strategic autonomy over company-wide comms (you'll be executing strategy, not setting it).
  • A quiet, predictable routine (expect urgent requests and shifting priorities).
  • Immediate, measurable ROI for every piece of work (some comms is about building trust and culture, which is harder to quantify).

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts employee engagement and understanding of company strategy. You're helping to build a more informed and connected workforce, which ultimately supports our culture and business goals. Getting it right means fewer confused employees, better adoption of new initiatives, and a stronger sense of community. Getting it wrong means disengaged staff and potential resistance to change.

Inside the business
  • Internal Communications Manager
  • HR Business Partners
  • Marketing Team
  • Department Heads (e.g., Sales, Engineering)
  • IT Support
Outside the business
  • N/A (primarily internal focus)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience in a communications role, ideally internal, where you've regularly written and published content for an audience.
  • A strong portfolio of written work that demonstrates clarity, engagement, and adaptability for different tones and audiences.
  • Experience managing digital communication channels, such as an intranet, email marketing platform, or corporate social media.
  • Basic understanding of communication metrics and how to interpret them (e.g., email open rates, website traffic).
  • Ability to work effectively with multiple stakeholders, often juggling competing priorities and feedback.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Intranet & Comms Platform Management

You'll move beyond just publishing content to actively designing page layouts, building custom web parts (if applicable), and managing the overall content taxonomy. This ensures the platform remains a valuable, organised resource as the company grows.

Information Architecture · User Experience (UX) Principles · Content Governance

  • This month: Take an online course on SharePoint site design or Simpplr administration.
  • Next quarter: Propose and implement a small improvement to an existing intranet page layout.
  • Within 6 months: Work with IT to understand the technical capabilities and limitations of our current platforms.

Quick win: Spend an hour exploring the advanced settings of our intranet platform. You might find features you didn't know existed that could improve content presentation.

Enhanced Content Creation (Video & Multimedia)

Text-only comms is becoming less effective. Employees expect engaging multimedia content, especially video, for updates and messages. Being able to produce basic, high-quality video or animated graphics will make your comms stand out and capture attention.

Basic Video Editing · Motion Graphics · Accessibility in Multimedia

  • This month: Watch some YouTube tutorials on basic video editing with a free tool like DaVinci Resolve or CapCut.
  • Next quarter: Create a short (30-60 second) video recap of a team event or a simple explainer for a new process.
  • Within 6 months: Explore how to create simple animated graphics for our intranet or social channels using Canva Pro or Adobe Express.

Quick win: When a leader sends you a headshot, try using Canva to add a subtle animation or a branded frame to make it more engaging for an announcement.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Joining professional bodies like the IoIC or CIPR for networking and access to industry insights.
  • Attending webinars or workshops on specific comms tools or techniques (e.g., advanced SharePoint features, video storytelling).
  • Reading industry blogs and publications to stay up-to-date on trends and best practices in internal communications.
  • Seeking out opportunities for peer feedback and mentorship within our team to refine your writing and strategic thinking.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering & LLM Integration (for drafting)

AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude are already changing how we draft content. Competitors are using these to generate initial comms faster, freeing up their teams for more strategic work. If you don't get comfortable with this, you'll find yourself spending more time on routine tasks than your peers.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

Data Storytelling for Comms

Leaders are increasingly asking for data to prove the impact of internal comms. Simply reporting open rates isn't enough; you'll need to connect comms activity to business outcomes like engagement scores, retention, or even productivity. This helps elevate comms from 'nice-to-have' to 'must-have'.

  • Connecting Comms to Business Metrics
  • Visualising Data Effectively
  • Identifying Causal Links (or Correlations)

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Internal Communications Specialist is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Applied to your work in Internal Communications Specialist

The objective of this unit is to provide learners with a thorough understanding of the roles of marketing and advertising in promoting live events and related activities. Learners will explore how advertising and marketing strategies are applied within the live events sector, including within specific organisations, and how they contribute to audience engagement and brand loyalty.

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you're busy. There's always more to communicate than there are hours in the day. But what if you could cut down on the tedious bits and focus on the strategic, human side of internal comms? Good news: AI can help you do just that. We're not talking about replacing you, but giving you a seriously powerful co-pilot.

We're building an AI Productivity Hub specifically for our Internal Communications team. This isn't just about buzzwords; it's about practical tools that will genuinely make your daily work easier and faster. Think less time on drafting, more time on impact. Here's a sneak peek at how it'll change your game:

First Draft Factory

Use AI to whip up initial drafts for your routine announcements, like holiday reminders, office closures, or standard policy updates. Just feed it the key facts and your desired tone, and it'll give you a solid starting point in minutes. You'll spend your time refining, not starting from scratch.

Sentiment Sonar

Got a load of open-ended comments from a pulse survey or engagement platform? Instead of manually sifting through thousands, drop them into an AI tool. It'll instantly analyse sentiment, cluster themes, and highlight key concerns or positive feedback. You'll get actionable insights in a fraction of the time.

Executive Voice Tuner

After you've drafted a message for a leader, use AI to fine-tune it. Prompt it to 'make this sound more inspirational,' 'simplify this for a non-technical audience,' or even 'rewrite this in the style of [paste example of leader's previous writing]'. It's like having a personal style guide on demand.

Q&A Forecaster

Before a big announcement (like a reorg or a new strategy), feed your draft into an AI model. Ask it to 'act as a skeptical employee and generate a list of 20 tough questions they would ask.' This helps you build a much more robust FAQ and ensures leaders are prepared for those tricky questions during all-hands meetings.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows an Internal Communications Specialist, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 9 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming an Internal Communications Specialist: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

If you leave this industry
