Internal Communications Manager, Internal Events

GitHub is looking for a creative, detail-oriented Internal Communications Manager to lead programs and events that keep our employees (“Hubbers”) informed, inspired, and connected to GitHub’s mission, vision, and culture.

As a member of the Internal and Executive Communications team, you will have a unique opportunity to enhance employee experience at GitHub as our business grows and evolves in the age of AI. This role will oversee important communication and culture channels for a global, remote-first and asynchronous company, including but not limited to internal and executive events and more.

You will also create and drive a measurement and impact strategy for internal channels including global Slack channels, company intranet and more.

As the right candidate, you are comfortable operating in a role with multiple partners and senior-level stakeholders.

You are energized by the opportunity to curate unique digital and offsite experiences for a remote-first workforce. You have strong instincts and a proven ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

• Develop thoughtful content and communications campaigns designed to educate Hubbers about GitHub’s company priorities and business strategy, and drive deep connection to our culture and leadership principles.
• Gather, analyze, and communicate relevant metrics to leadership to demonstrate event effectiveness and drive ongoing, iterative improvement.
• Create enablement content that empowers leaders and communications partners to integrate business priorities and employee experience into events, meetings, and initiatives throughout the business.
• Develop creative ways to engage global viewers working in an asynchronous, remote-first environment.
• Cultivate communication norms for our evolving company and own best practices for company-wide communications across channels and forums.
• Create a standard benchmark to measure the effectiveness of internal events, and partner with functional leaders to assess and refine their events and channels.

• Experience managing multi-channel communication strategies and content that can transcend mediums and resonate with diverse, global audiences.
• 5+ years of professional experience in internal/employee communications.
• Experience working with a global and geographically distributed company.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience running internal or external events, including storyboarding, production, and measurement. Bonus for experience creating inclusive and accessible experiences.
• Proven ability to advise on communications strategy to all levels of the organization and drive consensus across a diverse set of stakeholders, including senior leadership.
