Job description

Job Summary

We’re looking for a strategic Internal Communications Advisor who operates at the intersection of business strategy, employee engagement, transformation, and storytelling.

This is more than a content delivery role. It is a trusted advisor position for someone who can translate business priorities into clear communications strategies that drive alignment, understanding, and action across a complex APAC organization.

Candidates should demonstrate substantial experience in internal communications, executive communications, transformation, consulting, or strategic advisory roles. Experience that is predominantly focused on marketing, brand management, advertising, external comms or campaign delivery alone will not meet the requirements of this position.

A consulting mindset is important for this role, someone who can structure complex problems, challenge assumptions, advise senior stakeholders, and turn business needs into practical recommendations.

What You’ll Own

Shape the APAC internal communications agenda

• Develop and lead a regional communications strategy that supports business priorities and transformation.
• Partner with leaders to understand business challenges, shape communication approaches, and provide clear recommendations.

Drive clarity and alignment

• Translate complex business topics into clear, relevant, and actionable messaging for employees.

Lead narrative and positioning

• Build compelling narratives that connect business priorities and transformation to what they mean for team members.

Optimize communication channels

• Use the intranet, video, digital content, and other channels strategically to improve reach, engagement, and impact.
• Support town halls, leadership forums, and employee events that reinforce priorities and strengthen alignment.

Connect across functions and markets

• Partner across teams and geographies to ensure messaging is consistent, relevant, and well coordinated.

What Sets You Apart

Strategic thinker

• You connect communications to business outcomes and are comfortable challenging assumptions, reframing problems, and influencing decisions when needed.

Strong consulting mindset

• You can structure ambiguous problems, synthesize complex information, and turn insights into engaging content.

Exceptional communicator

• You are an outstanding communicator, both written and verbal. You write with clarity, precision and influence, adapting your style for diverse audiences.

Exceptional at simplifying complexity

• You can distil complex strategies and business issues into clear, compelling messages that audiences understand and remember
• You build credibility with senior stakeholders and are confident providing counsel, influencing stakeholders at all levels.

Strong storyteller

• You know how to shape a strong narrative that inspire understanding, alignment and action

Data-informed

• You use insights and data to improve communication strategies and programs, measure effectiveness and improve outcomes

Comfortable with ambiguity

• You can operate independently and can bring structure, clarity and momentum in a fast-moving and evolving environment.

High standards of excellence

• You have exceptionally high standards for communication quality, strategic thinking and execution. You sweat the details, hold yourself accountable for outcomes, and consistently deliver work that reflects executive-level quality.

Journalistic instinct

• You have the curiosity, tenacity, and investigative mindset of a journalist. You know how to connect the dots uncover the \"why\" behind a business decision, identify the human and commercial angles that matter, and translate them into compelling stories that resonate with employees.

You will be a great fit, if you have

• 12+ years of experience and demonstrated excellence in communications, strategy, transformation, consulting, or related roles, with a proven ability to influence and drive business outcomes through communication.
• Consulting experience or strong internal advisory experience preferred, particularly in strategy, transformation, change, or organizational effectiveness.
• Regional experience working across multiple markets within a regional or global organization
• Experience advising senior leaders in complex, multinational organizations.
• Strong ability to translate business priorities into clear communication strategies and recommendations.
• Experience supporting transformation, change, or enterprise-wide initiatives.
