About The Position

Sony Pictures Imageworks is looking for a Studio Communications Specialist to help build a new, single, trusted home for studio communications. The goal is to make it easier for teams in Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Montreal to find the information they need, trust the information they receive, and stay well-connected to the work and to each other. This is not a traditional communications role; instead, the focus is on creating a well-structured internal information platform on Confluence. The specialist will write content, organize its structure, and assist content owners across the studio to ensure information remains relevant, up-to-date, and easily accessible. The role involves daily collaboration with colleagues from all areas of the organization, including department heads, production team members, pipeline specialists, and support teams. This position is ideal for someone early in their communications career who enjoys writing and organizing information and wants to contribute to a studio that creates globally appreciated films.

Requirements

Excellent writing skills: Ability to transform complex information into clear, warm, and easy-to-understand content, avoiding jargon and overly institutional language.
Excellent organizational skills: Enjoy structuring information for easy access; experience in creating or improving an intranet, wiki, or similar internal site.
Early-career with high potential: Typically 2-4 years of experience in internal communications, content creation, or a related field (e.g., HR). Emphasis on writing quality, organization, project contributions, and collaboration skills.
Excellent interpersonal skills: Comfortable interacting with diverse individuals from artists to senior management; ability to inspire trust and support teams tactfully and effectively.
Autonomy and prioritization skills: Effective time management, ability to prioritize tasks, and manage multiple projects simultaneously; capacity to bring structure to ambiguous situations.
Curiosity and learning ability: Ability to ask good questions, learn quickly, and understand the overall workings of a studio.
Strong interest in the industry: Enthusiasm for contributing to a recognized creative studio, reflected in work.
Excellent French and English skills: Ability to collaborate regularly with teams, managers, and content leads in Vancouver and Los Angeles, where English is the primary language of work. This includes writing, revising, and coordinating internal communications for North American studios, adapting English-language documentation, and communicating orally and in writing in English with English-speaking stakeholders.

Listen and adapt: Conduct regular pulse checks, analyze usage data, and gather feedback from employees to identify popular content, subscriptions, and challenges, proposing improvements based on findings.
Keep it alive: Ensure the platform remains current, accurate, and relevant, maintaining it as a trusted source of information.
