About Internal and Change Communications

The Internal and Change Communications team supports our objective of making HMRC a great place to work by using the latest digital communications approaches to engage our audiences.

The team works closely with colleagues across HMRC Communications and the wider business to ensure that our workforce can deliver at their best and have a community we can all take pride in.

Job description

There are two roles available. These are as follows:

Intranet Community Manager

This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a newly formed team that will drive the delivery and development of a major internal communications channel from the very start.

As part of our move to a new intranet platform we are establishing a new community of content creators who are based in our business areas and responsible for creating and updating their own content. It’s your responsibility to ensure this community produces content for the intranet that meets the necessary standards and helps our 65,000 colleagues do their job more efficiently.

The successful candidate will be expected to inspire, influence, and develop this group, some of whom will not have produced intranet content before.

Yammer Community Manager-

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Internal Channels team, ensuring our communications channels support delivery of our business objectives by informing, engaging and motivating our colleagues.

Yammer is HMRC’s internal social media platform where colleagues can discuss, listen and share knowledge and ideas with each other.

Leading a community of Yammer administrators who are based in our business areas, this role provides the opportunity to create supportive and engaging online communities and advise senior leaders and communication colleagues on how to get the most out of Yammer.

Part of the role will also involve looking at ensuring Yammer aligns with and supports our wider channel strategy and how we can fully exploit this as an engagement channel.

• Help to communicate our vision for these channels in line with our overall internal channels approach with key internal stakeholders and secure their buy in.

• Seek opportunities to use industry best practice to promote creative content within the digital community.

• Lead a small team, developing colleague capability and sharing your expertise.

Essential Criteria

• Experience of leading and developing a large-scale forum or community to achieve a common goal.

• The ability to engage and influence a wide range of stakeholders, building mutually beneficial relationships.

• Comfortable working at pace and managing competing priorities.
