Internal Communications Manager

Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their PR & Communications career in Sheffield.

Internal communications has stopped being a nice-to-have. As companies scale fast and teams go hybrid, the gap between leadership and staff widens unless someone is actively closing it. This growing startup, part of a wider PR & Communications sector that's investing heavily in employee engagement, needs an Internal Communications Manager who can build that bridge from scratch and keep it standing as headcount grows.

Here's what you'll be doing

Write and distribute internal updates, newsletters and leadership messages that people actually read

Build and manage an internal communications calendar across email, Slack and company-wide meetings

Partner with founders and department heads to translate strategy into messages staff can act on

Run employee engagement surveys and turn the results into visible changes, not just a slide deck

Manage crisis and change communications when the business shifts direction quickly

Support onboarding communications so new starters understand culture and priorities from day one

Here are the skills you'll need

2-4 years' experience in internal communications, PR or a related communications role

Strong written English with the ability to switch tone between formal updates and casual Slack posts

Comfortable working with ambiguity. Startups change plans mid-week and the plan has to change with them

Experience using internal comms tools such as Slack, Notion or an intranet platform

Confidence presenting ideas to senior leadership without needing everything signed off first

Basic grasp of employee engagement metrics and how to read a survey result properly

Key perks and benefits

Salary of £35,500 to £47,000, depending on experience

Hybrid working, with time split between the Sheffield office and home

Equity in the business, so growth benefits you directly

Flexible hours and a genuine learning and development budget

Flat structure. You'll speak directly to founders, not through three layers of management
