Why hire a freelance internal communications manager?

Change goes better when employees understand it. A freelance internal communications manager brings the planning and writing skill to explain what's happening and why, and to listen to how people respond.

‍

Freelancers also give you flexibility. Add an internal communications manager for a restructure, a merger, a transformation, a new intranet or a gap in your team, then scale back when it's done. Having supported many organizations through change, they bring tested approaches.

Compliant and vetted

Frequently asked questions

Hire a freelance internal communications manager when you're running a restructure, merger or transformation, when employee engagement is low, or when your internal comms lead is on leave or has left. They're also useful for launching an intranet or new tools and for leadership communications.

Internal communications managers vary by sector and focus. Some specialize in change and transformation, others in leadership and executive communications, employee engagement or digital workplace channels. Many work in large corporates, healthcare, the public sector or technology. For external audiences, a communications manager may fit better, and an editorial manager leads content. For change delivery, consider a program manager. Match their experience to your sector and size.
