Summary of the Global Internal Brand Manager job at DEPT®

Hybrid

DEPT® is a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, our 4,000+ specialists deliver growth invention services across Brand & Media, Experience, Commerce, CRM, and Technology & Data. We’re 50|50 tech and marketing, partner-led, and first to move. Clients include Google, Lufthansa, Meta, eBay, and OpenAI. We have been certified B Corp and Climate Neutral since 2021.

JOB PURPOSE

Some of the best things about working at DEPT® aren't client projects. They're the moments in between. The AMA everyone talks about afterwards. A leadership event that doesn't feel like a leadership event. The Slack post that somehow ends up with 500 reactions.
As we've grown to more than 4,000 people across five continents, those moments don't just happen anymore. They help drive our culture.

Someone has to make them happen. This isn't a traditional internal communications role. If you love newsletters, endless approval rounds and corporate speak, this probably isn't your thing.

THE ROLE:

We're looking for someone who's equal parts producer, project manager and storyteller. Someone with good instincts, high standards and enough curiosity (and stubbornness) to turn ambitious ideas into reality.

You'll work across Marketing, People and Executive Leadership on global events, leadership communications, culture initiatives and company-wide moments. You'll have plenty of ownership, a lot of freedom, and one expectation: help drive a culture people genuinely want to be part of.

This role reports to the Global Head of Marketing and is open to candidates located in and around Amsterdam.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Lead the planning and delivery of our global internal events, leadership meetings and company-wide programmes.
• Own initiatives such as AMAs, Town Halls, leadership offsites and major internal campaigns.
• Be the driving force behind complex global initiatives involving multiple teams and senior stakeholders.
• Follow up relentlessly, remove blockers and make sure nothing quietly slips.
• Bring structure without creating bureaucracy.
• Own global internal communications across multiple channels.
• Partner with Executive Leadership on company updates, organisational announcements and strategic messaging.
• Create programmes that strengthen connection, recognition and engagement across our global offices.
• Partner with local teams to scale ideas globally while leaving room for local flavour.
• Help protect and evolve what makes DEPT® different as we continue to grow.
• Work with Marketing and People to ensure internal culture and external employer brand reinforce each other.
• Turn employee stories into content people actually want to share.
  

WHAT YOU BRING:

• You have around 3-5 years of experience in project management, marketing, brand, events or communications within a fast-paced creative environment.
• You've probably already taken on responsibilities well beyond your job title.
• You're the person people trust with the impossible project because you always find a way to get it done.
• You love making things happen. If something needs doing, you don't wait; you get started.
• You're an exceptional organiser who can keep ten moving projects on track without dropping the ball.
• You have outstanding taste. You know when something feels fresh, memorable and unmistakably DEPT®, and when it feels average.
• You're naturally curious about design, brands, culture, creativity and what's happening in the world, and you're always bringing new ideas to the table.
• You're a strong writer who knows how to communicate clearly, authentically and without corporate jargon.
• You're confident working with senior leaders and aren't afraid to challenge ideas or chase a CEO for feedback if that's what it takes to hit a deadline.
• You thrive in a fast-moving environment where priorities change, opportunities appear overnight and no two weeks are the same.
• You're collaborative, low-ego, and happy to roll up your sleeves, whether that's producing a leadership event, editing a keynote at the last minute or moving chairs five minutes before people walk in.

WE OFFER

• A flexible, hybrid working policy (2-3 days from the office, depending on location) and the opportunity to work from abroad for 13 weeks a year.
• 24 vacation days per year and the possibility to buy an unlimited number of extra vacation days.
• DEPT®/YOU Learning Menu and DEPT®/YOU Special Programs. Develop your skills with courses and programs tailored to your needs.
• Stay happy and healthy with a contribution to your health through the OpenUp platform, gym and wellness discounts, and healthy lunches at the office.
• Get a discount on your lease bike and ride in style. You can also enjoy hassle free-commutes with an NS Business Card.
• A reputation for doing good. DEPT® has been a Certified B Corp® since 2021, has been named a Great Place To Work since 2022 in the Netherlands and named ‘Agency of the Year’ at both The Lovies and The Webby Awards.
• Awesome clients. Whether big, small, local or global — at DEPT® you’ll get the opportunity to work with all of them. And we celebrate all of our successes together!
• You can discover even more employee benefits here.
