The Opportunity at Culture Amp

This is a truly unique opportunity to join our Employee Experience and Communications team. We are the storytellers, curators and custodians of translating strategy, company values and priorities to help Culture Amp communicate better, improve alignment and increase productivity; ultimately creating an informed and engaged workforce.

The Experience and Communications team is responsible for global communications, workplace and virtual experience and overseeing the coordination of all our People Experience activities.

This opening is a 12 month fixed-term (parental leave cover) contract.

Once you’re in the seat, you will:

  • Collaborate and deliver on key strategic projects across the business, through creative input, project support and/or communication advice
  • Coordinate communications across core Culture Amp wide programs and collaborate with key cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. Product, People & Experience, Marketing)
  • Co-lead the delivery of our bi-annual strategy roadshow, Amp Up, which connects every Camper with the company strategy and helps them understand the role they play in achieving it
  • Advise and assist leaders across the business with communication efforts, especially across the VP and Executive levels
  • Deliver impactful communication projects to a global audience
  • Co-run our fortnightly ‘Tent Talk’, bringing Campers from all regions together for the most important business and strategic updates
  • Delivering our weekly ‘Campfire’ newsletter to keep Campers informed on the latest news, announcements, events and actions
  • Maintain a metronomic rhythm to how we roll out our core programs globally, working closely with our programs, people partner and operations teams on things like our engagement surveys and actions plans, performance and development cycles.
  • Help shape, own and drive the people experience calendar, integrated with the company calendar

What You Bring to Our Camp

You are:

  • A creative communicator and a master of storytelling who understands what makes a good story.
  • Organised and reliable.
  • Focused and good at prioritisation. You are clear on the big picture and how everything fits together, while also being laser-focused on delivering priorities.
  • Someone who is comfortable operating in an exciting but highly ambiguous environment with tight deadlines. You’re able to make trade-offs to deliver a result that may not be perfect, but “good enough”.
  • A systems-based thinker who easily grasps complexity, loves bringing structure to chaos, and can make the complex simple.
  • Deeply curious and passionate about people, culture and the employee experience. You are willing to ask the hard questions, experiment and bring ideas to life

You have:

  • Strong communication skills across a range of mediums - written, verbal, visual etc.
  • The ability to influence stakeholders and build strong relationships with people across an entire business.
  • Resourcefulness - someone who is prepared to get in and deliver work and is willing to find quick and easy solutions without always having access to design or copy support.
  • Experience helping teams maintain focus and execution excellence (e.g., OKR tracking, program deployment schedules, program prioritisation etc.
  • Experience with people, culture and experience programs (not essential)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and recognize the impact of good internal communications within a scaling business.
  • The ability to build trust over time to establish credibility with Exec (note: we are not necessarily looking for someone with instant cred. e.g. badges/prior exp, but rather someone who can build it up by their behavioral patterns, e.g. being reasoned & reliable in delivery)

We believe that our employees are the heartbeat of our success. We're committed to fostering a work environment that truly cares for and develops its people, and creates lasting positive impact. In addition to providing a competitive compensation package, some of the key benefits we offer are:

  • Monthly Camper Life Allowance: An automatic allowance paid out each month with your pay - you can spend it however you like to help improve your experience and life outside work
  • Team budgets dedicated to team building activities and connection
  • Intentional quarterly wellbeing pauses: A quarterly company-wide shutdown day in each region to to collectively pause, reset and focus on restoration and rest, without having to tap into individual vacation time
  • Extended year-end breaks: An extended refresh period at the end of year
  • Excellent parental leave and in work support program available from day 1 of joining Culture Amp
  • 5 Social Impact Days a year to make a positive impact on the community outside of work
