Director of Internal Communications

POLITICO’s mission from the very beginning was to win the audience. We dedicate ourselves to providing accurate, non-partisan, impactful information to the right people at the right time so that they can act with confidence and speed. POLITICO is seeking a Director of Internal Communications to develop, execute, and oversee our internal communication strategy. This is a new position at POLITICO, and the ideal candidate will be empowered to develop a fresh approach to internal communications and develop a plan in partnership with key stakeholders including the Vice President of Marketing and Communications, CEO, COO, Chief Talent Officer, and Editor-in-Chief. Effective communication builds trust through greater transparency and increases employee engagement. This role will work closely with counterparts on POLITICO’s Talent teams in US and Europe to communicate frequently and clearly with more than 1000 employees globally. The role will initially focus on creating and publishing a regular global newsletter in partnership with our teams in Europe, partnering with C-Suite and Senior executives on communications strategy and delivery to ensure that key messages and initiatives are clearly communicated across teams, developing an agenda and content for company town halls, and ensuring that the leadership team’s priorities and updates are cascading across teams throughout the publication. This critical role will report directly to the Vice President of Marketing and Communications and will partner with the Director of Communications in the U.S. (external facing) to ensure consistency and alignment.
