The Opportunity Hinge Health is scaling fast—1,500+ employees around the world, new products launching, and a mission that's reshaping healthcare for millions. But scale brings complexity: how do you keep every employee aligned, informed, and connected to the "why" behind their work when you're growing at hyperspeed? We need an Associate Internal Communications Manager who can translate complex company updates—strategy shifts, product launches, organizational changes—into clear, compelling narratives. This isn't just about writing emails or hosting meetings; it's about shaping how a global, distributed organization stays connected and engaged as we scale. This role is perfect for someone early in their communications career who's ready to lead projects end-to-end (with guidance), develop their craft across multiple formats (Town Halls, All Hands, announcements), and build the kind of cross-functional relationships that unlock great storytelling. If you're energized by the challenge of keeping a fast-moving company aligned and inspired, this is your opportunity. What You'll Accomplish In your first 3 months: Become fluent in Hinge Health's mission, strategy, and organizational structure by shadowing Town Halls, All Hands, and leadership meetings—understanding what makes our culture tick Support the production of monthly Town Halls and quarterly All Hands , from setting agendas to drafting talking points to hosting logistics, ensuring every meeting lands with clarity and impact Build trust with key stakeholders (People, Marketing, Leadership) by delivering on quick-win projects—whether it's a well-crafted announcement, a recognition moment, or a survey debrief In your first 6 months: Own end-to-end communications workstreams with guidance—such as a product launch announcement, an organizational change, or a company-wide initiative—demonstrating your ability to craft narratives that resonate across regions and roles Strengthen cross-company awareness by surfacing meaningful work, milestones, and contributions across teams, reinforcing shared narratives and a sense of progress in a distributed environment (e.g., monthly "wins" roundups, team spotlights, industry moments) Experiment with AI tools to improve the speed, consistency, and clarity of internal comms outputs, identifying approaches that meaningfully improve signal quality and reduce manual effort In your first year: Act as a trusted partner to the People team, independently leading 2-3 major workstreams with minimal oversight Monitor engagement, feedback, and sentiment signals , using insights to refine messaging, cadence, and formats—and proactively flag risks or misalignment before they become problems Develop a reputation as a clear, reliable communicator who can translate complexity into clarity and keep employees connected to the mission, even as the company scales
