Welcome to Strictly Internal #20! Today we have 40+ new internal and transformation comms roles from across the US, UK and Canada. Technology and entertainment companies are well represented this week, but also some great roles in financial services and in manufacturing companies.

I was really energized by the #CommsJobs Hang Out event #1…and event #2 is next week! It features a stellar lineup of speakers and is hosted by #commsjobs impresario Daniel Méndez Aróstica. Details are below.

This week in insights: An excellent guide to managing change comms (even if you are a team of one) and a podcast featuring an internal comms leader at Iron Mountain.

Finally: Thanks to everyone who signed up for my Strictly Advisory career coaching and resume review sessions. It’s been great connecting with folks and helping them on their career journey. I just added a 15-minute complimentary call booking option if you’re unsure or have questions.

Without further ado…

New internal comms roles

New transformation & change comms roles

New insights

  • “In an ideal world, you’d partner with a change manager to develop a comms plan…Unfortunately, for team-of-one internal communicators, that’s not always an option,” says Alyssa Towns in this Workshop change comms guide for IC and HR pros who are on their own (and those who need a good guide!).

  • “You’ve really got to learn the language of their business, whether that’s sales, finance, creations…then you can start talking about how communications can help them,” says Neil Jenkins, Senior Director of Corporate Communication at Iron Mountain, about working with senior leaders in a new podcast by Katie Macaulay. Check it out!

Found a job? Now deliver a resume that gets you the interview.

Many highly skilled communicators tell me they’re unsure about their resumes. From a lack of time to a feeling of being “too in the weeds,” it can be hard to apply your comms knowledge and skills to a document about yourself!

I help comms pros boost their resume by providing:

  • Independent “hiring manager” perspective on your resume. Truly fresh eyes when you need it most.

  • Concrete edits to make your value prop shine. Spoiler alert: an accurate list of your jobs alone probably won’t break through.

  • ATS format guidance. With 60+ ATS platforms in the market, ensuring your resume is compatible is crucial.
