We’re looking for a high-energy, tech-savvy, and culturally curious internal communications leader who thrives in dynamic, distributed environments. As our Culture & Communications Lead, you will not only be the connective tissue across our globally distributed organization but also the strategic architect of our culture evolution.

This role will lead the activation and reinforcement of a culture that supports both high performance and high trust through moments, rituals, and communications that embed psychological safety, open dialogue, and values-based recognition into the business's rhythm.

You will lead key cultural experiences that bring our values to life, owning the execution and messaging for signature company-wide events such as SmartCon, our global offsite, and quarterly all-hands. Through intentional moments, rituals, and narratives, you will help shape how people experience our culture across the entire employee journey.

Reporting to the Talent Management and Culture Head, this role partners across the People team, executive leadership, and business stakeholders to define and scale the experiences that build cultural resilience, clarity, and engagement.

Your Impact

• Lead initiatives that embed psychological safety and open dialogue into business rhythms and team dynamics.

• Design cultural rituals and recognition systems that reinforce our principles of Focus, Ownership, and Dialogue.

• Work closely with leadership to align cultural narratives with strategic priorities, helping reframe and re-energize how culture is perceived and lived across the organization.

• Plan communications and rituals throughout the team member journey, from welcome to exit, to reinforce values and cultural touchstones.

• Ensure message consistency across regions and audiences. You understand cultural nuance and craft inclusive, globally resonant communications.

• Manage and innovate across internal channels (Slack, Notion, async video) to drive effective remote-first communication with reduced noise.

• Support leadership visibility by drafting talking points, async video scripts, and messages that elevate authenticity and build trust.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in internal communications, cultural design, or experience strategy.

• Background in employer branding, experience design, or organizational storytelling.
