Do you have an engaging style and can interact with colleagues and stakeholders? Are you a great storyteller? And do you have experience of programme communication?

If this sounds like you, then why not apply? 


We are looking for an Internal Communications Manager who will be responsible for delivering our internal communication strategic objectives by supporting key business activities, projects and campaigns.


Full Time Permanent

Hybrid working whereby you will be expected to travel to our Northampton office on a weekly basis. 


What you’ll do:


As the Internal Communications Manager you’ll create clear and engaging communications to inspire and build trust with our colleagues. This is an exciting and challenging role for an enthusiastic, driven individual with extensive internal communications experience, particularly in change management.


Some accountabilities of the role: 


  • Advise, guide and influence our sponsors and senior stakeholders to engage our colleagues in initiatives and activities that support our strategic objectives. 

  • Create and deliver effective communication plans, curating key messages in a compelling way to ensure all communication is well delivered. 

  • Planning and writing internal communication materials

  • Supporting strategic change programmes and organisational change, and to deliver the communication through thorough and engaging content. 

  • Always improving content by following trends and best practices. 


Is this you?


  • Due to the nature of our business, we are looking for someone who is able to deliver valuable internal communications support within the complexities of a large, geographically dispersed organisation including non- desk members. 

  • You will have a proven track record in the development of successful, creative internal communications strategies, while having the drive to ensure all projects and initiatives are delivered on time.

  • You’ll need to be on top of the latest thinking with regards to best practice in internal communications. 

  • You will be a hands-on, team player, and have strong written ability, so you’re able to translate complex issues into compelling, interesting, straightforward language that holds people’s attention. 

  • Key to this role is the ability to build and maintain strong relationships across a diverse stakeholder group with the skills to inspire others to embrace change. In all, a thorough internal communications person who isn’t afraid to get stuck in and do what’s needed to deliver some outstanding results.


What’s in it for you?


You’ll be supported by a fabulous team, which means whatever it is you do with us,  it will be easy for you to learn, grow and develop across the Travis Perkins Group.
