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.
