Your role
Set and deliver the global all-employee communications strategy and annual plan, aligned to Philips’ enterprise priorities, business performance, culture and growth agenda. Create a distinctive, human and inclusive employee narrative that makes strategy and change meaningful across diverse roles, markets, languages, cultures and access needs. Lead the end-to-end planning and delivery of the company’s largest employee moments and campaigns, including enterprise-wide priorities, major change and engagement campaigns. Be an exceptional writer and editor, setting the standard for clear, compelling and audience-led communication across leader messaging, enterprise narratives, campaigns and sensitive communications. Be a trusted senior adviser to senior functional and business leaders, helping them communicate with clarity, authenticity and impact. Lead, coach and develop the All-Employee Communications team creating clear priorities, high standards, strong talent and a culture of ownership, curiosity and constructive challenge. Own the editorial and campaign ecosystem: establish the right mix of leader-led, digital, live and local communication to reach and engage colleagues wherever they work.

Own Philips’ employee audience strategy, building a deep understanding of the needs, realities and communication preferences of our diverse colleague population. Use employee insight, segmentation, listening and channel data to shape communication priorities, narratives and experiences that are relevant, inclusive and effective for different audiences.

Champion the responsible use of AI and emerging communication technology to build a more scalable, self-service communications model. Enable teams, leaders, sites and regions with smarter tools, content libraries, guidance and workflows that improve creativity, relevance, speed and consistency - while preserving editorial judgement, trust and human connection. Drive disciplined program and project management across a complex portfolio, defining objectives, governance, milestones, risks, resourcing and outcomes; manage external partners and budgets where needed. Work in close partnership with the wider Communications and Brand teams, including our content and channels, Business Partners and Regional Communications teams to support the creation of one coherent employee communications experience and clear decision rights. You're the right fit if: You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, Business or a related field, with typically 10+ years’ relevant global communications experience, including senior internal or employee communications leadership. You are an exceptional writer and editor with a high bar for clarity, relevance and quality. You can create and edit communication that is strategically sharp, human and actionable - from enterprise narratives, campaigns and leadership messages. You have led high-performing
