Strictly Internal | Issue #37

New internal communications jobs at Unilever, Warner Bros, PepsiCo, DoorDash and more. Plus: Tips for small IC teams.

Hey there! I'm sending Strictly Internal several days late after being ill last week. But I’m feeling much better today and am happy to share with you 50+ new internal communications jobs across the US, UK and Canada, including 8 remote roles.

In Insights: Yahoo’s internal comms leader discusses the newsletters that made their spin-out from Verizon a success, new email benchmarks and a boot camp, tips for small IC teams, and managing side chats during meetings.

I’ll resume my usual Thursday schedule later this week. Have a good week!
