7How 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.

Adoption Correlation

Demonstrating a clear link between your targeted communications campaigns and actual increases in adoption rates for new tools or processes within your business unit.

Target · A clear correlation showing >10% increase in adoption rates post-campaign.

After a targeted comms campaign for a new CRM system, we saw user login rates increase by 15% within the first month, directly attributable to your team's efforts to explain the 'WIIFM'.

Reduced Change-Related Disruption

Measuring the decrease in help desk tickets or queries directly related to a new system or process launch, compared to previous transformation projects of similar scale.

Target · A >20% reduction in change-related help desk tickets post-launch.

For the Q2 ERP rollout, our help desk saw 25% fewer 'how-to' tickets compared to the Q1 HR system launch, thanks to your team's comprehensive manager toolkits and proactive FAQs.

Leadership Confidence Score

How satisfied our programme steering committees and business unit leadership are with the effectiveness and strategic guidance of your communications team.

Target · Maintain a >8.5/10 satisfaction score from relevant steering committees.

The Q3 Finance Transformation Steering Committee survey showed an average of 9.1/10 for comms effectiveness, with specific praise for your team's ability to simplify complex financial changes.

Team Project Delivery & Budget Adherence

Ensuring your team's communications projects are delivered on time and within the allocated budget, reflecting strong planning and resource management.

Target · 90% of comms projects delivered on schedule and within ±5% of budget.

Your team successfully launched three major campaigns in Q4, all hitting their deadlines and staying within 3% of the allocated spend, even with a couple of unexpected scope changes.

Strategic Influence & Counsel

Being the go-to person for senior leaders when they're grappling with how to communicate tricky changes or need advice on employee sentiment.

Regularly invited to executive planning sessions for major transformations
VPs and SVPs proactively seek your counsel on comms strategy before making decisions
your team's insights are integrated into overall programme plans.

Team Development & Engagement

Building a high-performing, engaged team where individuals feel supported, developed, and motivated to deliver excellent work.

Low voluntary attrition within your team
positive feedback in employee engagement surveys for your direct reports
observable growth in your team members' capabilities and confidence
your team members are actively mentoring junior colleagues.

Narrative Consistency & Impact

Ensuring all communications across your business unit's transformation programmes align to a clear, consistent 'Narrative Arc' that resonates with employees.

Employees can articulate the 'why' behind major changes
internal surveys show high understanding of the future vision
comms from different projects don't contradict each other
your team's messages are frequently cited by leaders.

Proactive Risk & Resistance Management

Identifying potential communication roadblocks or areas of employee resistance early on and developing proactive plans to address them, rather than just reacting to problems.

Early identification of 'hot spots' for resistance through sentiment analysis
pre-emptive comms plans to address known anxieties
fewer unexpected negative reactions to major announcements
your team has a clear 'resistance management' plan for each programme.

8Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Building & Empowering a High-Impact Team

You'll spend time coaching your direct reports, helping them unstick problems, and celebrating their successes. Seeing your team members grow and deliver fantastic work is a huge win for you.

One of your team members, who used to struggle with executive presentations, just delivered a brilliant update to the SVP, and you know your coaching made the difference. That's what gets you going.

Driving Strategic Organisational Change

You're not just pushing out messages; you're seeing your comms strategy directly influence how thousands of employees adapt to new ways of working. You love seeing the 'needle move' on adoption or sentiment.

Your comms plan for a new hybrid working model led to a measurable increase in employee satisfaction and understanding. That feeling of genuinely shaping the organisation's future is what you chase.

Solving Complex Communication Puzzles

You thrive on taking messy, ambiguous, politically charged situations and figuring out the clearest, most effective way to communicate them. It's like being a strategic problem-solver, but with words.

When two business units are merging, and there's a lot of anxiety, you love the challenge of crafting a narrative that addresses fears, builds excitement, and gets everyone on the same page. That's your sweet spot.

What frustrates people

The 'Just Send an Email' Fallacy: The default request from senior leaders for every complex communication challenge, ignoring the reality of information overload and the need for multi-channel approaches.
Measuring What Matters: Knowing that true success is behaviour change and adoption, but often being forced to report on vanity metrics like email open rates because they're easier to track, even though you know they don't tell the full story.
The 'Swoop and Poop': When a senior leader, previously disengaged, suddenly intervenes at the last minute with drastic, disruptive feedback that undoes weeks of work by your team.
Resource Scarcity: Constantly having to do more with less, battling for budget and headcount for your team, even though comms is critical for programme success.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable routine: Expect constant shifts in priority and urgent requests that derail your plans.
Complete creative freedom: Your work will always be subject to multiple layers of review and corporate guidelines.
Direct, individual execution for every project: Your focus is on strategy, leadership, and oversight, not hands-on content creation for every single piece.

9Who you work with

You're directly responsible for the successful adoption of major transformation initiatives within your assigned business unit. Your work impacts employee engagement, productivity during change, and ultimately, the overall success of multi-million pound programmes. Get it right, and you're driving tangible business value; get it wrong, and you're creating significant organisational drag and cost.

10What you need before you start

Proven experience (at least 3-5 years) in a formal leadership or management role, guiding and developing a team.
A strong track record of designing and delivering complex change communications strategies for large-scale programmes (equivalent to our Lead Change Communications Strategist, L4).
Demonstrable experience managing significant budgets (e.g., £50K-£500K) and vendor relationships.
The ability to influence and build credibility with senior executive stakeholders (VP-level and above).
A deep understanding of at least two widely recognised change management frameworks (e.g., Prosci ADKAR®, Kotter's 8-Step Model).

11What to practise next

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

Integrated Communications Ecosystem Design

The number of comms channels and platforms is only growing. You'll need to think about how all these tools (intranet, email platform, digital signage, HRIS, DAPs) talk to each other to create a seamless, non-repetitive employee experience. It's about designing a 'single source of truth' for transformation comms.

API Integrations for Comms Platforms · Content Management Strategy · Personalisation at Scale

This week: Map out all the comms channels and platforms currently used by your team and identify redundant efforts.
This month: Research best practices for integrated comms ecosystems and identify potential integration points.
Month 2: Develop a proposal for a more streamlined comms tech stack for your business unit, outlining potential cost savings and efficiency gains.
Month 3: Present this vision to IT and relevant platform owners, starting conversations about future integrations.

Quick win: Identify one piece of content that is currently manually updated in multiple places and propose a single source of truth for it.

Digital Ethics & AI Governance in Comms

As AI becomes more prevalent, we need to ensure we're using it responsibly and ethically. This means setting clear guidelines for your team on data privacy, avoiding bias in AI-generated content, and maintaining human oversight. You'll be the one ensuring we don't accidentally create a PR nightmare or erode employee trust.

Bias Detection in AI-Generated Content · Data Privacy & Confidentiality with LLMs · Transparency & Disclosure · Human Oversight & Accountability

This week: Read up on industry best practices for ethical AI in communications.
This month: Draft a preliminary set of internal guidelines for your team's use of AI in content creation.
Month 2: Discuss these guidelines with Legal and HR to ensure alignment with company policy.
Month 3: Roll out the guidelines to your team, providing training and open forums for discussion.

Quick win: Implement a mandatory 'human review' step for all AI-generated content before it's published, no matter how minor.

12Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attending industry conferences and webinars focused on internal communications, change management, and digital transformation.

Participating in peer networking groups for communications leaders to share best practices and challenges.
Seeking out opportunities to mentor junior professionals, even outside your direct team, to further hone your leadership skills.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you and your team are probably spending too much time on the grunt work. Imagine if your team could cut down on drafting, summarising, and basic analysis, freeing them up for more strategic thinking and creative problem-solving. That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about replacing your team; we're talking about giving them superpowers. As a Manager, Transformation Communications, you'll be guiding your team to use AI tools that handle the tedious bits, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: crafting compelling narratives, understanding complex stakeholder dynamics, and building genuine employee engagement. It's about working smarter, not harder, and giving your team the edge.

First Draft Automation for the Team

Imagine your team feeding raw meeting notes, technical specs, or even just bullet points into an AI tool. Instantly, they'll get a structured first draft of an FAQ, a blog post, or manager talking points, ready for their expert refinement. This frees up hours for strategic messaging.

Accelerated Sentiment Analysis

Upload thousands of open-ended survey comments or internal social media posts into an AI analysis tool. It'll immediately identify and quantify key themes, concerns, and overall sentiment without your team having to manually read through everything. This means faster insights and quicker responses to employee anxieties.

Persona-Based Message Tuning

Your team can write a core announcement and then use an AI assistant to adapt it for different audiences. Quickly generate versions tailored to 'skeptical engineers,' 'anxious frontline staff,' or 'busy senior leaders,' ensuring higher message resonance and saving hours on re-crafting.

Intranet Content Summarisation & Digests

Use an AI tool to scan long-form project updates on the intranet or SharePoint. It can automatically generate a 'TL;DR' (Too Long; Didn't Read) summary for each article and even compile a weekly digest email. This boosts information absorption for employees and saves your team valuable time.
