What you can expect as an Internal Communications Coordinator

Are you a creative storyteller with a passion for building community? At Perkins, we believe that an informed and connected workforce is the heartbeat of a great culture. We are looking for an Internal Communications Coordinator to help us bridge the gap between our mission and our people.

You’ll be the primary engine behind the day-to-day communications that keep the Perkins workforce informed and engaged. This is a role for a "doer" who can jump from drafting a sensitive organizational announcement to coordinating a high-energy staff event without missing a beat.

We’d love to talk with you if you have many of the following:

Content Creation & Digital Management

• Draft and edit high-quality content for the Perkins Pulse intranet (WordPress), our monthly People Operations newsletter, and daily announcements.

• Keep our intranet and communication boards fresh, organized, and easy to navigate.

• Use your creative expertise in Canva or AdobeSuite to shape powerful narratives and bring our stories to life

• Ensure every piece of content is inclusive, meeting Perkins’ high standards for alt-text and accessible formatting.

Events & Recognition

• Provide hands-on logistical support for major staff events like Winterfest, Summer Socials, and appreciation days.

• Assist with technical setup and presentation decks for quarterly in person Town Halls and monthly Perkins Pulse virtual meetings.

• Manage the daily workflows for employee awards and milestones via Awardco, ensuring our team’s hard work never goes unnoticed.

Branding & Insights

• Conduct interviews with staff to create "day-in-the-life" features for internal and external branding.

• Help manage our employer brand on platforms like Glassdoor, Indeed, and LinkedIn.

• Track and compile monthly analytics (open rates, engagement) to help us refine our strategy.

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Communications, English, Marketing, or a related field.

• 1–3 years in communications, marketing, or HR. (experience in a non-profit or corporate setting is a big plus!)

• Proven experience with WordPress (or similar CMS), Google Workspace, and design tools like Canva or similar.

• Exceptional proofreading skills and a careful focus on accuracy and formatting.

• A commitment to learning and applying digital accessibility best practices to foster an inclusive workplace.
