About the Role

As Director of Internal Communications, you will lead the strategy and execution of communication across VEG, ensuring leaders, hospital teams, and VQ teams receive clear, consistent, meaningful messaging that aligns the organization around priorities and reinforces VEG’s culture. This role is the connective tissue between executive vision, operational priorities, and frontline understanding. You’ll partner closely with senior leaders to translate complex initiatives into communication that is simple, timely, human, and actionable. As VEG continues to scale, you’ll build the systems, channels, messaging frameworks, and team capability needed to make internal communications a strategic advantage.

Responsibilities

  • Lead VEG’s internal communications strategy, including messaging priorities, cadence, channel strategy, and planning processes that support company priorities and leadership alignment.
  • Partner with senior leaders to translate strategy, organizational updates, enterprise change, launches, and culture initiatives into clear, audience-specific communications.
  • Oversee internal communications channels, including Workvivo, intranet/ServiceNow, newsletters, leadership meetings, email strategy, and internal communication calendars.
  • Support executive communications, including town halls, leadership updates, board/shareholder-related messaging, crisis communication playbooks, and major company narratives.
  • Lead, develop, and level up the Internal Communications team by creating scalable processes for planning, approvals, content execution, analytics, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Stay close to hospital leaders and frontline VEGgies to understand what is landing, what is creating noise, and how communication can better drive clarity, engagement, trust, and action.

Requirements

  • 8–12+ years of experience in internal communications, corporate communications, executive communications, change communications, or a related communications function.
  • Experience communicating across large, complex, or multi-location organizations, with the ability to tailor messages for different audiences, including frontline teams, leaders, and headquarters functions.
  • Exceptional writing, storytelling, editing, and message design skills, with the ability to translate complex or sensitive topics into clear, compelling communication.
  • Strong executive presence and cross-functional collaboration skills, with experience advising senior leaders and influencing stakeholders across teams.
  • Experience using internal communications platforms and tools such as Workvivo, intranet platforms, newsletters, project management tools such as Monday.com, and/or engagement analytics.
  • A strong ownership mentality, sound judgment, and the ability to balance strategy with execution in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
