1What this role really is

You're the person who makes sure everyone in Marketing knows what's going on, why it matters, and what they need to do. Think of yourself as the team's internal journalist and storyteller, making complex marketing stuff easy to understand for everyone. You'll be the go-to for getting important messages out, keeping our Marketing team connected and clued-up.

2What you'd actually use

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

SharePoint Online / Simpplr (Intranet)Intermediate

You'll be regularly publishing articles, updating pages, managing basic permissions, and ensuring content is easy to navigate for the Marketing team.

Poppulo / Mailchimp (Email & Newsletter Tools)Intermediate

You'll use existing templates to create and send our weekly Marketing newsletter, manage distribution lists, and pull standard open/click reports to track engagement.

Slack / MS Teams (Collaboration & Chat)Intermediate

You'll be posting announcements in designated channels, using formatting effectively, creating polls, and generally keeping an eye on conversations to spot comms opportunities or issues.

Canva / PowerPoint (Content Creation)Intermediate

You'll use brand templates to create simple graphics, banners for the intranet, and presentation slides for internal meetings to make your messages more visually appealing.

SurveyMonkey / Google Forms (Analytics & Feedback)Intermediate

You'll deploy pre-written surveys, set up basic logic, and export raw data to Excel to gather feedback and gauge sentiment from the Marketing team.

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 for Major AnnouncementsDraft content under close supervision; all final approvals by manager.Draft content and propose for manager review; final approval by manager or relevant Marketing lead.Lead content creation and secure approvals from relevant Marketing leads; inform Director.
Channel Selection for Internal MessagesFollow prescribed channel usage (e.g., 'always use intranet for policy updates').Choose appropriate channel for routine messages based on guidelines; consult manager for new scenarios.Define and optimise channel strategy for specific campaigns; make recommendations for new channel uses.
Responding to Internal Feedback/QueriesEscalate all feedback and queries to supervisor for response.Respond to routine queries independently; escalate sensitive or complex issues to manager.Handle most feedback and queries directly; advise managers on responses for their teams.
Budget for Comms Tools/EventsNo budget authority; request resources from supervisor.Can recommend tools or resources up to £500; manager approval required for all spend.Manage project budgets up to £5K; recommend larger investments to Director.

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.

Internal Newsletter Engagement
How many people open and click on links in our weekly Marketing newsletter.
Target · >55% open rate, >20% click-through rate.

If your weekly newsletter about the new Q2 campaign strategy gets a 60% open rate and 25% click-through, you're hitting the mark. If it's 40% and 10%, we need to rethink the content or subject line.

Intranet Content Reach & Views
The number of unique views and average time spent on key intranet articles and pages you've published.
Target · >65% of the target audience viewing key articles within 72 hours, average time on page >90 seconds.

An article detailing our new brand guidelines should see at least 65% of the Marketing team viewing it within three days, with people spending over a minute and a half reading it. That tells us it's being seen and absorbed.

On-Time Communication Delivery
Making sure scheduled internal communications go out exactly when they're supposed to.
Target · 99% of scheduled communications delivered on time.

If the CMO's monthly update is scheduled for 9 AM on the first Monday, it needs to be in inboxes then. Missing that means people are waiting for information, which isn't ideal.

Internal Survey Participation
The response rate on pulse surveys or feedback forms you launch to gauge sentiment or understanding.
Target · >70% participation rate on internal pulse surveys.

When you send a quick survey asking about understanding of a recent strategy shift, we'd expect at least 70% of the team to respond. That gives us meaningful data to work with.

Message Clarity & Comprehension
How well your messages are understood, reducing the need for follow-up questions or clarification.
  • You'll know you're doing well when managers tell you they've received fewer questions after a big announcement, or when feedback from pulse surveys shows a high level of understanding. We'll also look at the number of 'clarification' Slack messages you get after a comms goes out – fewer is better, obviously.
Stakeholder Satisfaction & Trust
How happy our Marketing leaders and teams are with your communication support, and if they see you as a trusted advisor.
  • This isn't just about 'being nice.' It's about Marketing leaders coming to you proactively for advice on how to phrase a sensitive message, or giving positive feedback in team meetings about your support. You're seen as someone who 'gets it' and can translate their needs effectively.
Content Quality & Brand Voice
Ensuring all internal communications are error-free, engaging, and consistently reflect our Marketing department's tone and brand.
  • Your written work should be consistently polished, free from typos or grammatical errors. You'll get feedback that your writing 'sounds like us' – meaning it's on-brand, clear, and human. We'll also look for positive comments on the creativity or impact of your content.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Making Sense of the Chaos

You love taking a jumble of information, conflicting messages, or complex strategies and turning them into a clear, compelling story. That 'aha!' moment when someone finally 'gets it' because of your communication? That's what drives you.

You've just finished drafting an email about a new MarTech tool that everyone was dreading. You framed it as 'how this saves you time' and now you see positive Slack messages about how clear it is. That's a win.

Building Connection & Culture

You genuinely enjoy helping people feel informed, valued, and part of something bigger. You get a kick out of seeing the Marketing team rally around a shared goal because your comms helped them understand it.

You've organised a virtual 'lunch and learn' with a senior leader, and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive about how connected people felt. You see a real buzz in the team afterwards.

Being the 'Go-To' for Clarity

You thrive on being the person leaders come to when they need to communicate something important, knowing you'll make sure it lands effectively. You like being the expert in making messages stick.

A Brand Director asks you to review their presentation slides for an all-hands, saying, 'Can you make sure this actually makes sense to everyone, not just us?' That's your sweet spot.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Last to Know' Syndrome: Being asked to write the comms plan for a big re-organisation *after* all the decisions have been made, meaning you're just reacting.
  • The Rogue Leader: Spending ages crafting perfect talking points, only for a senior leader to go 'off-script' in a meeting, creating a mess you have to clean up.
  • The Battle for Attention: Knowing your carefully crafted, important message about the new brand strategy has about three seconds to grab attention amidst hundreds of other emails and Slack messages.
  • The 'Fluff' Perception: Constantly having to justify your strategic value beyond just being the 'newsletter person' or the one who organises the team social.
  • Measuring the Unmeasurable: The endless pressure to prove the ROI of your work when the benefits – like clarity, trust, and morale – are notoriously difficult to put into a spreadsheet.
  • Stakeholder Gridlock: Your draft announcement is perfect, but it's stuck for days waiting for sign-off from Marketing, HR, Legal, and the CMO's chief of staff, each with conflicting edits.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine with no interruptions.
  • Complete autonomy over strategic direction without needing broad consensus.
  • Guaranteed immediate, measurable ROI for every single communication piece.
  • A role where you're always the first to know about big strategic shifts.

6Who you work with

Your work directly influences how well our Marketing team understands our strategy, celebrates our wins, and navigates changes. If you nail it, teams are more productive, campaigns launch smoother, and everyone feels part of something bigger. Get it wrong, and you'll see confusion, missed deadlines, and a dip in morale. You're helping build a cohesive, informed culture within Marketing, which ultimately helps us deliver better results externally.

Inside the business
  • Marketing Leadership Team (CMO, Heads of Brand, Performance, Product Marketing)
  • HR Business Partners for Marketing
  • Product Marketing Managers
  • Creative and Content Teams
  • Sales Enablement (for shared initiatives)
  • Individual Marketing Team Members
Outside the business
  • External agencies (occasionally for specific content needs, under guidance)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (2-5 years) in an internal communications, marketing communications, or similar role, ideally within a medium to large organisation.
  • A portfolio or examples of written communications (e.g., newsletters, intranet articles, internal announcements) that demonstrate clarity and engagement.
  • Experience working with content management systems or intranet platforms (like SharePoint or similar).
  • A solid grasp of basic analytics for digital communications (e.g., understanding email open rates and click-throughs).
  • Strong project coordination skills, able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines effectively.
  • A genuine interest in how businesses communicate internally and how that impacts culture and performance.

8What to practise next

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

Basic Video & Multimedia Production

People consume content differently now. Short, engaging videos or simple audio snippets are becoming essential for internal comms, especially for quick updates, 'meet the team' features, or explaining new processes.

Basic video editing (trimming, adding text) · Audio recording and editing · Storyboarding for video · Accessibility for multimedia

  • This week: Experiment with a tool like Descript or even your phone's video editor to create a 30-second internal update.
  • This month: Watch a few tutorials on basic video production for social media – the principles are similar for internal comms.
  • Month 2: Propose creating a short 'meet the team' video for a new joiner in Marketing.
  • Month 3: Explore how to add simple animations or motion graphics to your presentations using PowerPoint or Canva.

Quick win: Record a quick video message for your team instead of an email for a non-critical update. Just try it out and see how it feels.

AI Prompt Engineering for Communications

AI isn't going anywhere. Knowing how to 'talk' to AI tools effectively to get the best results for your comms tasks will be a game-changer. It's about being the conductor, not just the user.

Clear and specific prompting · Role-playing with AI · Iterative prompting · Ethical considerations for AI content

  • This week: Start using ChatGPT or Claude for drafting simple emails or summarising long documents. Pay attention to how you phrase your prompts.
  • This month: Experiment with different prompt structures (e.g., 'Act as X, then do Y, for Z audience') for internal announcements.
  • Month 2: Share your best AI prompts with your manager and team, showing how you're using it to save time.
  • Month 3: Research tools specifically designed for AI-powered content generation and explore their features.

Quick win: Next time you need to summarise a long meeting or document for your team, use an AI tool to get a first draft. It's a quick way to see the power.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Joining industry bodies like the IoIC (Institute of Internal Communication) or CIPR (Chartered Institute of Public Relations) for networking and learning.
  • Attending webinars or workshops on specific comms tools, writing for digital, or employee engagement trends.
  • Subscribing to relevant industry newsletters and blogs to stay on top of new ideas and best practices.
  • Seeking out opportunities to shadow colleagues in other Marketing functions to deepen your understanding of their work and comms needs.

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: Data Storytelling for Internal Audiences

Our Marketing team is increasingly data-driven. Being able to translate complex performance metrics or market insights into a compelling, easy-to-understand narrative for internal colleagues will be crucial. It's about showing, not just telling, the impact.

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

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:

Producing Creative Marketing Communications - Advertising Concepts and Solutions for ClientsLevel 4

Applied to your work in Internal Communications Specialist

This unit aims to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to produce creative marketing communications (advertising) concepts and solutions for clients. Learners will understand the key issues involved, be able to identify and agree on client requirements, and develop innovative and effective concepts tailored to meet those needs, incorporating client feedback and justifying their approach.

One to one, not one to many

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, internal communications can be a grind. But what if you could cut down on the repetitive stuff, leaving you more time for the truly strategic, human-centred work? That's where AI comes in. We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a superpower.

Our Marketing team is embracing AI to make our lives easier and our work more impactful. As an Internal Communications Specialist, you'll have access to tools that'll help you draft faster, analyse feedback quicker, and generally free you up to focus on the creative, empathetic side of your role. Think of AI as your super-efficient assistant, not your replacement.

First Draft Automation

Imagine needing to announce our Q3 results. Instead of staring at a blank page, you can prompt an AI: 'Draft a 200-word upbeat announcement for the marketing team, highlighting 110% lead gen target, 25% brand search increase, and the 'Summer Sizzle' campaign success.' You'll get a solid first draft in seconds, ready for your human touch. It's a massive time-saver for routine updates.

Sentiment Analysis Accelerator

You've just run a pulse survey, and now you've got hundreds of open-ended comments to wade through. Instead of manually reading every single one, feed them into an AI tool. It'll instantly identify key themes, tell you the overall mood (positive, negative, neutral), and even pull out representative quotes. This means you can get to insights in minutes, not hours.

Tone & Voice Refinement

Ghostwriting for a senior leader? It's tricky to nail their specific voice. You can give AI a draft and a prompt like: 'Rewrite this formal email from our CMO about a new strategic direction to sound more visionary, empathetic, and authentic to her direct but inspirational style.' It's like having a personal writing coach, ensuring your message lands perfectly every time.

Content Idea Generation

Stuck for ideas on how to communicate a dry topic, like a new data privacy policy? Ask AI! 'Give me 5 creative ideas for an internal campaign to get the marketing team excited about our new data privacy policy. Ideas should be more engaging than a standard email.' It'll spark your creativity and give you fresh angles you might not have thought of.

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 10 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

The skills you build here – storytelling, audience understanding, strategic messaging, and stakeholder management – are highly transferable. You could easily move into broader corporate communications, public relations, HR communications, or even content strategy roles in other sectors. Good communicators are always in demand.
