Internal Communications Lead

In recent months, Chainalysis has undergone a CEO transition and acquired two portfolio-expanding companies. The new CEO and company-wide leadership team have ambitious goals to leverage these acquisitions, evolve company culture, and seize a once-in-a-generation market opportunity brought about by industry and regulatory tailwinds in crypto.

The Internal Communications Lead is a scrappy operator and savvy strategist who can take these goals and multiple theses on the market and transform them into an internal communications and engagement strategy. They are: a skilled writer, a tactician and project manager who can pull disparate parts of the company together, unafraid to take risks, and someone who can provide sound advice to an executive team focused on driving urgency, accountability, and better employee engagement.

Note: This role is expected to be on-site in our New York City office 3 days per week.

In this role, you'll:

• Work closely with the Chief of Staff to the CEO and the entire executive team to transform business objectives and strategy into an internal communications strategy and program
• Plan, build, and execute internal communications rituals to increase employee engagement and build a cross-company focus on our customers and their missions.
• Manage multiple projects with multiple cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring that we're communicating internally with one unified voice
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders, particularly the People team, to communicate effectively with employees on important company and employee initiatives
• Find and leverage opportunities to increase employee trust in company leadership
• Advise leadership and help them execute on tactics that build a culture of accountability, urgency, and agility
• Manage internal communications workflows and tactics in the event of a crisis
• Advise leadership and help the leadership team execute on important change management initiatives
• Partner with the Chief of Staff and Business Operations team to drive company adoption of OKRs and other accountability frameworks to increase our velocity of execution
• Run a tight operation and focus on tactical execution to keep cross-functional stakeholders unified and updated on company strategy and actions
• Create and implement change communication plans that enable the seamless transition to new platforms, systems, policies or ways of working
• Understand the crypto industry and how we're providing value for our customers

We're looking for candidates who have:

• Used internal communications as a key method of evolving and building internal company culture
• Strong project management skills with demonstrated success in managing complex projects with opinionated stakeholders
• Shown value in advising company executives on key issues
• Been a trusted advisor to founders and C-Suite executives
• Experience in a fast-paced environment, and are comfortable seizing unexpected opportunities and managing change
• Worked at a technology company that is experiencing rapid growth and change

Nice to have experience:

• Understanding of cryptocurrency technology and ecosystem
• Experience working as an internal communications team of one
• Experience advising company leadership on change management and internal communications and transforming high-level goals into effective strategies and tactics for engaging employees.
