Internal Communications Manager

Internal Communications Manager Turn strategy into stories and communications into something people actually engage with. Join the team🥳 Think internal communications can't be exciting in insurance? That's exactly what we'd expect you to think. After all, most people don't think of insurance as a place where growth, transformation, culture and innovation happen. Yet that's exactly what you'll find behind the scenes at Ando. We've built our success by doing things differently and proving that insurance is ultimately about people and relationships - not transactions. As we continue to grow, we're creating our very first Internal Communications Manager role to help connect our people to the strategy, culture and stories shaping our future. This isn’t a role where you’ll be handed a finished playbook. You’ll help shape the next chapter. Reporting directly to our Chief People Officer, you’ll have the opportunity to build on the great foundations already in place and help shape how internal communications evolves at Ando. Working closely with our CEO, Executive Team and leaders across the business, you’ll help keep more than 350 Andonians connected, informed and engaged. What you'll be doing Developing and delivering the next evolution of Ando’s internal communications strategy. Bringing business priorities, change initiatives and big ideas to life through engaging communications and experiences. Partnering with the CEO, Executive Team and senior leaders to shape messaging and provide trusted communications advice. Developing communication plans that support growth, transformation and employee engagement. Experimenting with new channels, formats and technologies to create communications people engage with. About You We're looking for someone who can turn strategy into stories, updates into conversations, and communications into something people actually want to engage with. We’re not tied to a particular background or industry that this person ‘should’ have – what matters the most is your ability to bring the following: Significant experience in communications, marketing, employee engagement or related fields, with a proven ability to connect people to strategy, culture and business priorities. Experience developing and delivering communication strategies that support change, drive engagement and bring people on the journey. The ability to move seamlessly between big-picture thinking, strategic planning and hands-on execution. A modern, future-focused mindset, with a willingness to challenge traditional approaches, experiment with new ideas and embrace AI-enabled ways of working. Adept at building relationships and influencing stakeholders at all levels, including senior leaders and executives. Why Ando? We've spent the last decade challenging the status quo and rewriting a few insurance rule books along the way. The result? A business full of smart, curious people who aren't afraid to ask "why?" and a culture where new ideas are encouraged, not buried in a committee. If you're someone who likes to make things happen rather than wait for permission, you'll fit right in. And the perks aren't bad either. Think Life & Income Protection Insurance, a $500 annual wellbeing allowance, 50% off Auckland Transport, hybrid working, and a waterfront office that's a little hard to leave - complete with a gym, reformer Pilates studio, sauna and even a golf simulator. If you're the kind of person who sees a blank page as an opportunity, loves turning complexity into clarity, and gets a buzz from helping people feel connected to something bigger – we’d love for you to apply now!
