Employee Communications Lead, Ramp

• We’re looking for someone experienced in building and scaling employee communications functions before, ideally at a high-growth startup
• That said, while experience is valued, first principles and creative thinking are even more so
• We’re looking for someone who wants to take a best practice (e.g. , All Hands) and put a new spin on it
• Someone who can communicate sensitive topics in a way that doesn’t come off as corporate jargon
• Someone who is constantly experimenting rather than relying on the tried and true
• You should be comfortable leading through influence and with people of all styles
• 8+ years experience in communications or related fields, with at least 5 of those focused on employee communications
• Succinct writing skills that infuse personality and humanity (you write like people talk!)
• Grace with a backbone – you can work with anyone and aren’t afraid to stand up and disagree
• A creative spirit who can story-tell across mediums, including video, visual design, and the written word
