Internal Communications Lead

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About The Role

While we're still a small company, we’re building a culture where everyone who works at Notion feels engaged, informed, and inspired. We want all our employees to be supported in their work and lives, and anchored in both the impact they have on the company and that Notion has on the world. We're looking for an experienced communicator who loves to listen and build community, who can pioneer systems and programming that scale to reach more people with a personalized touch, and who specializes in telling stories through multiple media that engage, inspire, and inform.

What You'll Achieve:

• Storytell: Whether it’s elevating employee stories, making executive announcements, or gathering everyone for a special event, you’ll guide and shape important narratives that ensure everyone at Notion is aligned on what matters most.
• Orchestrate: As a surgically organized person who’s cool under pressure, you could double as an event planner. From pulling together our monthly company all-hands, to stakeholder management to align on messaging, you have it covered.
• Strategize: Develop a point of view on and own our strategy for internal communications with a focus on seeing around bends and keeping our whole team in the know and aligned around our objectives and culture. You’ll own and iterate on best practices for using Notion and Slack.
• Partner with leadership: Support company leadership and be a close partner with our people team to navigate sensitive internal comms issues, change management, and elevating employee feedback.
• Collaborate with, well, almost everyone!: Whether it’s our founders, affinity groups, project leaders, environment team, or new hires, you’ll partner with a wide range of Notinos and work across the organization as it scales. We’re still a small company, so you’ll have the chance to learn a lot about every corner of Notion.
• Engage: You are a people person who stays up to date on what’s going on in the world and who enjoys taking part in conversations across the org about the company and culture. Help us respond internally in a thoughtful way that aligns with our values and the change we want to see in the world. Work with managers to build strong cross-functional connections and reinforce key values.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• 10+ years of work experience, with 3-5 years managing internal communications, corporate communications or similar experience. This is not a managerial role.
• You are infinitely resourceful and don’t mind rolling up your sleeves and getting scrappy!
• Strong experience using Slack for internal communications (it’s our main communication tool), and preferred experience or familiarity with Notion (don’t worry, we’ll help you there!).
• Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills; clear and warm communication style.
• Superb organizational skills, with experiencing triaging many requests and priorities in a high-volume, dynamic environment.
• A track record of work that required interpersonal sensitivity, empathy, and understanding of DE&I.
• Experience with fast-paced change management, ideally at a high-growth company.
• Executive presence: you’ve been an enthusiastic and engaged partner to executive teams and people leaders.
• Strong execution mindset. We're moving fast and there is a lot to do every day.

Nice To Haves:

• Creative production skills to help us reach our audiences through not just writing, but visual, video and audio communication.

We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers. If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. If you’re a builder at heart, share our company values, and enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want to hear from you.
