About the team and the role
As Internal Communications Lead, you will be part of the HR team, a team of 5 specialists, and will report directly to the HR Director. This Amsterdam-based role is responsible for designing and delivering a best-in-class employee experience across the entire employee lifecycle - from onboarding to offboarding.
You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring that our workplace, people processes, internal communications, and events all contribute to a cohesive, engaging, and inclusive employee experience.
Success as an Internal Communications Lead relies on three core skills: strategic storytelling to translate vision into clear messages, change communication to guide teams through rapid growth, and employee engagement to build culture and keep people motivated.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive clear and transparent internal communication throughout transformation, ensuring employees receive timely, consistent, and engaging updates on organizational changes, HR initiatives, and cultural priorities.

Act as a trusted communications partner to leadership, crafting narratives that build understanding, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen trust during times of change.

• Connect workplace experience to people engagement and provide clear guidance to the workplace team.

• Shape meaningful employee experiences by planning and delivering events such as all-hands, cultural initiatives, and team-building activities that foster inclusion, connection, and resilience.

• Enhance the employee journey by improving key lifecycle moments—onboarding, mobility, and offboarding—so they remain positive and supportive during organizational shifts.

• 
  Enable cross-functional alignment by working closely with HR, IT, and business stakeholders to ensure communications and people programs reinforce business transformation goals.
• 
  Champion employee voice by supporting engagement and pulse surveys, analyzing feedback, and ensuring visible, credible follow-up actions.
• 
  Continuously innovate in internal communications and employee experience, applying best practices and new approaches to strengthen culture, belonging, and performance during the company’s transformation.

Requirements:

• 3-5 years in internal communications, employee experience, events, or HR operations, ideally within a fast-growing scale-up.

• Strong writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to adapt tone and style across different channels (intranet, newsletters, Slack/Teams, town halls).

• 
  Experience organizing impactful events that reinforce culture and community.
• 
  Proficiency with HR systems, survey platforms, and collaboration tools.
• 
  Hands-on approach with the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment, combined with a strong understanding of organizational transformation processes and phases.
