Job Description

Are you ready to make an impact?

West Monroe has an immediate opportunity for a strategic, detail-oriented communicator to join our Corporate Communications team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys turning complexity into clarity, has a knack for storytelling, translating leadership direction into communications that resonate with employees, and thrives in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.

The Corporate Communications Manager will execute communications that support firmwide priorities, operational initiatives, and moments of change. Working with senior leaders and cross-functional partners, this person will help translate strategy and shape messaging, building thoughtful communications that inform, engage, and move our people to action.

This is a highly hands-on role for an experienced individual who enjoys owning execution-heavy channels, writes clearly, manages details exceptionally well, executes with precision, and is eager to grow their impact and influence over time.

What you’ll do

  • Develop and execute corporate communications plans for firmwide initiatives, operational updates, and strategic priorities
  • Build strong working relationships with cross-functional stakeholders, partnering with leaders and project teams (e.g., HR, People teams) to understand their needs and become a trusted advisor on messaging, timing, and delivery
  • Draft and coordinate communications deliverables, including internal emails, FAQs, talking points, presentations, intranet content, and visual assets
  • Own and execute recurring employee communications channels, including firmwide and targeted newsletters (i.e., editorial planning, drafting, stakeholder intake, approvals, distribution)
  • Translate complex or ambiguous topics into clear, compelling narratives tailored to specific audiences
  • Support change communications related to organizational updates, platform launches, internal transformations, and acquisitions
  • Ensure messaging is cohesive across teams and channels, contributing to a consistent and connected employee experience
  • Identify opportunities to improve how and where we communicate, including channels, formats, and storytelling approaches
  • Measure effectiveness of communications efforts and apply insights and feedback to continuously improve impact
  • Manage multiple workstreams simultaneously while meeting deadlines and maintaining high quality

What success looks like

  • Employees understand what’s changing, why it matters, and what’s expected of them
  • Leaders feel confident in how messages are delivered and supported by strong execution and reliable follow-through
  • Communications are timely, intentional, and aligned to firm priorities
  • Content is clear, concise, and on brand, without sounding like it was written by committee or AI

What you bring

  • 8-10+ years of experience in corporate or internal communications, ideally in professional services or a similar environment
  • Exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to adapt tone and style for different audiences and leaders
  • Strong project management skills and the ability to effectively manage multiple priorities simultaneously
  • Confidence partnering with senior stakeholders and influencing without formal authority
  • A thoughtful, proactive approach to communications strategy and execution
  • A collaborative mindset and commitment to an inclusive working environment

Nice to have

  • Experience supporting change or transformation initiatives
  • Comfort working across a variety of channels and tools, including intranet and visual storytelling platforms such as SharePoint, Airtable, Axios HQ, Canva, or similar platforms
  • Experience using AI and automation tools (e.g., ChatGPT) to support drafting, editing, summarization, and content planning.
