Internal Communications Manager at E-Space in Arlington, TX

Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. E-Space is building the infrastructure for a new generation of space operations. As we scale to the next stage of growth over the next 18 months, we need someone to programmatize how we communicate internally and deliberately build culture that sustains retention and belonging. This is a builder role: you'll take what exists and create the infrastructure, cadences, and editorial strategy that make E-Space feel like a coherent company where people understand the mission, where their work connects to it, and where they genuinely want to show up. You'll balance two equally important missions: (1) owning the systems and channels that keep E-Space informed and aligned as we scale, and (2) collaborating with the People team to build intentional culture programs, celebrations, and spaces that make work feel meaningful and connected. You'll do this in an environment where the exec leadership, People team, and cross-functional partners all have competingasks, a level of ambiguity, and high expectations, and where the guardrails aren't yet clear. You'll need to be comfortable making calls about what gets done, in what order, and what doesn't, without waiting for permission. It’s important to note that this role is internally facing because the company is currently in Stealth Mode as we build our world-class technology, so this role will not include any aspect of external comms or PR. This role will nominally report to the Head of People but will operate as a shared service bridging the executive leadership team and the broader company. The successful candidate will be required to work onsite to collaborate with team members in our Arlington, TX offices. What you will do The functions of this role include the following: Internal Communications Infrastructure Define and own E-Space's internal communications operating model: channels, cadences, content types, and editorial calendar that govern how information flows across the company as we scale. Own the strategy and execution of key company moments: All Hands meetings, quarterly business reviews, org announcements, exec updates, and crisis communications. Build and maintain an internal intranet/knowledge hub (leveraging existing tools like Rippling, Teams, Sharepoint, or dedicated platforms) that serves as the single source of truth for company information, policies, and culture. Create repeatable playbooks and templates for recurring programs (All Hands, org changes, exec announcements) that scale without requiring manual lift each cycle. Partner with exec leadership to turn strategy and initiatives into clear, compelling stories that resonate across technical and non-technical audiences. Help E-Space employees understand where the business is headed, why it matters, and how their work connects to the mission in space infrastructure. Culture, Belonging & Retention Programs Design and execute programs that build belonging and retention: team celebrations, recognition initiatives, cross-functional gatherings, and rituals that make E-Space feel like a culture, not just a company. Own employer brand on external sites, published information and careers pages: identify ways to highlight E-Space's culture and showcase what it's like to work here, especially as we grow internationally
