Employee Engagement & Internal Communications Manager

Salmon·Philippines·Офис·3 нед. назад

We’re looking for an Internal Communications & Employee Events Manager to help us build employee engagement through internal communications, events, office rituals, onboarding touchpoints, and hybrid formats.

This is not a pure event management role. We need someone who understands how employee events work as part of internal communications and culture-building: how to create the concept, write the announcement, prepare the brief, manage vendors, run the event, and make people actually want to join.

The role is local to Manila and requires strong English, Tagalog / Filipino language, and a good understanding of the local cultural context. One of the key goals is to create more shared moments and points of connection between local employees and expats.

Own the internal engagement calendar across office, hybrid, and company-wide formats: from idea and planning to execution, feedback, and improvement
Run employee events end-to-end: company celebrations, office activities, onboarding welcome moments, culture formats, quarterly hybrid events, annual awards, and other employee initiatives
Own internal communications around events and engagement: posts, announcements, event messages, scripts, presentations, and culture updates
Prepare briefs, moodboards, simple visual assets, and internal materials in Figma / Canva when speed matters
Work with vendors, venues, agencies, designers, merch and production partners, keeping timelines, quality, and budgets under control
Track participation, feedback, expenses, and engagement signals, then improve formats based on what people respond to

2–3+ years of experience in internal communications, employee engagement, employer brand, events, culture programs, or similar roles
Hands-on ownership of events from brief to execution, not just coordination of one workstream
Experience working with vendors, venues, agencies, designers, production partners, or merch suppliers
Strong written and spoken English and Tagalog / Filipino language
Strong project management across timelines, stakeholders, budgets, and parallel workstreams
Ability to write clear internal posts, announcements, scripts, and presentations with the right tone of voice
Confident use of Figma, Canva, ChatGPT / Claude, and spreadsheets for simple assets, texts, budgets, reporting, and planning

Good taste and visual awareness: you can create moodboards, brief designers, and recognize strong event concepts and visuals
Energy and confidence: you are comfortable speaking to an audience, involving people, and creating momentum around internal activities
Creativity and problem-solving: you can find out-of-the-box solutions when the standard process does not work
Business attitude: you can read estimates, negotiate with vendors, manage budgets, and act in the company’s best interests
Understanding that employee events are not just logistics — they are a tool for communication, engagement, and culture

Experience with events for large audiences, up to around 1,000 people
Experience in a startup or high-growth company where processes are still being built
Experience designing remote or hybrid engagement formats
Interest in modern events, visual trends, creative formats, and employee experience

This is a Manila-based role. We are not considering fully remote candidates.

The role requires local presence, cultural context, and the ability to work directly with venues, vendors, and employees on-site.
