Aprio is one of the fastest-growing advisory and accounting firms in the U.S. - and with that growth comes constant, meaningful change. We're looking for a skilled internal communicator to serve as the dedicated communications partner to our People & Culture and Learning & Development teams. This role sits within Aprio's Strategic Communications & Corporate Affairs function, with deep day-to-day alignment to P&C.

This role owns the communications that bring those efforts to life. From enterprise-wide transformation to individual program rollouts, this person serves as a narrative steward - connecting discrete change initiatives into a cohesive story about where Aprio is headed and what it means for our people.

• Act as a trusted advisor to the Chief People Officer and People Leadership Team, owning their internal content and shaping how they show up to the organization
• Craft the transformation narrative - connecting discrete change initiatives into a cohesive story about Aprio's future, then continuously adapt it based on how change is resonating across the organization
• Treat communication as a living, iterative process - surface patterns of confusion, resistance, or momentum; listen for what team members need to hear next; and evolve messaging in real time
• Draft and manage high-stakes communications related to leadership changes, restructuring, strategic resets, and workforce initiatives, FAQs, and manager toolkits so people leaders can cascade messages with confidence
• Write across all formats: all-hands scripts, intranet content, video scripts, team member announcements, and more
• Build and manage a communications calendar aligned to the P&C and L&D program roadmap
• Partner closely with peers across Strategic Communications & Corporate Affairs to ensure internal and external messaging is aligned and consistent
• Measure communication effectiveness and use data and feedback loops to continuously improve

Qualifications:

• 6-10+ years of internal communications experience, with a strong track record in transformation, change, or HR/People communications
• Experience building or stewarding an internal brand
• Proven ability to develop a transformation narrative that connects discrete initiatives into a story employees can understand, believe in, and act on
• Exceptional writing skills
• Strong executive presence; comfortable advising senior leaders on messaging, tone, and timing
• Experience in a high-growth or fast-changing environment; professional services background a plus
• Familiarity with internal communications platforms and tools (Microsoft 365, Firstup, Teams, intranets, etc.)
• Comfort operating in ambiguity
