This role will be based in San Francisco, Mountain View, or Sunnyvale.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business.

You'll also own the enterprise People Leader Communications strategy and partner closely with the Office of the Chief People Officer on strategic internal GTO communications. This role will also lead and support other priority communications work, including organizational change and issues management, bringing opportunities to scale impact to teams across LinkedIn.

We're looking for a dynamic communicator with a strong track record of partnering with senior executives, deep business acumen, strong HR communications experience, and a passion for storytelling that brings people strategies to life and supports business growth. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, bring creativity to how we engage employees, and lead the day-to-day execution of multiple projects. If you're energized by the opportunity to lead with influence, drive clarity, think strategically, and help employees feel connected to their work and each other — we'd love to meet you.
