What you'll do:

• Communication planning: Develop and execute comprehensive communication strategies that highlight company wins, news and updates, utilizing internal channels such as Slack, newsletters, and the intranet.
• Strategic communication: Plan and deliver engaging and informative content that is tailored to employees across Pinterest’s diverse markets, ensuring alignment with internal communication objectives while being sensitive to local nuances and cultural considerations.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Build and nurture strong relationships across teams, departments, and markets to drive international internal communication efforts.
• Project management: Manage and lead projects autonomously for international markets, including internal product launches, partnership updates, and policy-related communications.
• Writing expertise: Craft high-quality written content, such as internal announcements, newsletters, intranet posts, and executive-level communications.
• Crisis communications: Learn and apply proactive crisis communication strategies to effectively navigate challenges within the organization.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of experience in communications (including internal communications, external communications, or journalism), preferably in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• A passion for crafting internal communications that not only inform but also can cut through the noise to connect, inspire, and activate employees.
• Strong project management skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Proven track record of leading and executing successful internal communication programs.
• An eye for detail and systematic approach to managing and updating program and project resources.
• Experience collaborating effectively with cross-functional, global teams and introducing new ways of working with Internal Communications as a strategic partner.
• A can-do attitude, and someone who holds themselves accountable for deliverables and outcomes.
• Ability to maintain high productivity and adaptiveness under pressure.
• Comfortable speaking with, counseling and influencing senior leaders.
• A deep commitment to understanding and addressing the needs of employees and stakeholders.
• Ability to confidently address challenging situations and provide constructive input when needed.
• A strong sense of responsibility, both individually and within a team.
• Ability to exhibit sound judgment and make timely, impactful decisions.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as communications, public relations, journalism or equivalent experience.
• Essential skills:
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a talent for crafting concise and engaging messages.
  • Proven project management experience, including planning, execution, and delivery.
  • Strong relationship-building skills, fostering trust and collaboration across all levels.
  • Creative problem-solving capabilities, addressing challenges with practical and innovative solutions.
• Additional skills:
  • Proficiency in managing internal communication platforms, such as Slack, newsletters, and intranet tools.
  • Confident presentation skills.
  • Knowledge of policy, procedures, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Experience with video and photo editing tools, such as Adobe Suite, would be desirable.

Relocation Statement:

• This position is not eligible for relocation assistance. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model. 

 

In-Office Requirement Statement:

• We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection.
• This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1-2 days per week and therefore needs to be in a commutable distance from our Sydney office.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic communications team and play a vital role in shaping Pinterest's internal communication efforts. If you are passionate about delivering impactful communications and possess the skills and qualifications we're looking for, we encourage you to apply!
