About The Position

We’re looking for a creative and highly skilled change communications expert to drive strategic clarity, alignment, and action throughout HubSpot. The role will engage employees in a variety of vital change initiatives, including new ways of working in our Product organization, company-wide People programs, and more. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate how they have translated vision and strategy into change initiatives that inspire and equip leaders, managers, and employees. You’ll craft content and design change plans that help our teams and audiences understand where we’re going, why it matters, how we’ll get there, and what we need from them. You’ll partner with teammates in Employee Communications, senior company leaders, and other stakeholders to bring clarity, alignment, and energy to everything from all hands communications to leadership updates. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced change communications practitioner who thrives on blending strategy, story, change management, and influence - someone who can zoom out to define a point of view, zoom in to write with precision and voice, and who knows which levers to pull to effect change in a dynamic organization. We’re looking for someone who is bold in their thinking, humble enough to keep learning, and comfortable adapting and pivoting, fast. You’ll bring curiosity, creativity, composure, and an eye for detail to complex situations, helping us tell stories that move people and shape how we grow.
