Senior Manager, Internal Communications

Chainguard • Remote • 28 days ago

The role in a nutshell:

At Chainguard, we believe that internal communications are critical to building a high-trust, high-performing, and aligned team. We’re hiring a Senior Manager of Internal Communications to shape and scale the way we communicate across the company. This role will drive strategic, clear, and engaging communication between leadership and employees. As a fully remote company, this function is essential to building a strong culture — and we consider our culture to be part of our brand.

You will own key communication channels including our Weekly All Hands, internal newsletter, and bi-annual company Summit content. And you’ll thrive in this role if you’re an empathetic and creative communicator who can balance strategy with flawless execution and cross-functional collaboration.

What you’ll do:

  • Lead company-wide internal communications strategy and execution, ensuring clarity, consistency, and alignment across all channels and moments.
  • Own and continuously improve Weekly All Hands, including agenda curation, speaker preparation, logistics, and executive scripting.
  • Produce and manage our weekly internal newsletter, keeping teams informed, aligned, and energized about company updates, wins, and strategic priorities.
  • Drive content planning and messaging for our bi-annual in-person summits, including executive keynotes, ancillary content, and cross-functional activities.
  • Develop executive communications in partnership with senior leaders — writing, editing, or advising on emails, scripts, FAQs, and change management.
  • Build playbooks and frameworks for repeatable communications (e.g., strategy rollouts, product milestones, org changes, business system updates, and more).
  • Uphold and evolve our tone of voice internally — communicating with warmth, clarity, humility, and purpose. (Oh, and humor. We do serious work, but don’t take ourselves too seriously.)
  • Use data and feedback loops to measure the impact of internal communications and iterate accordingly.

What we’re looking for:

  • 10+ years of experience in internal communications, executive communications, or related fields — ideally in a high-growth tech or remote-first environment.
  • Exceptional writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex or sensitive topics into clear, human language.
  • Executive presence and stakeholder management, with a track record of working closely with C-level leaders.
  • High emotional intelligence and sound judgment — especially in high-stakes or ambiguous communication situations.
  • Strong program management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple threads and deadlines with calm and focus.
  • Experience running large-scale internal events, including All Hands and company summits.
  • Comfort with distributed teams and async-first communications — we’re a remote company and that shapes how we operate.
