Description

Ryanair are looking for an exceptional Internal Communications Manager to lead and evolve internal communications across one of Europe’s biggest, boldest & most successful airline, the one & only Ryanair!

Reporting into the Director of Talent, you will own and drive our internal communications strategy for over 30,000 Ryanair people across Europe, leading the continued development of our employee communications platform, Workvivo (we call it Fleethub), while managing a high-performing content and communications team that delivers engaging, creative and impactful content every day.

This is not a “keep the lights on” communications role. We want someone with energy, personality and ideas — someone who can build relationships across the business, influence senior stakeholders, move at pace and make things happen – No day is the same at Ryanair, so be warned!

You’ll need to be commercially minded, technically savvy, highly organised and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift quickly…very quickly.  Internal communications is strategically important at Ryanair & on a Monday morning you get to lead a 15 mins internal stand-up with the Ryanair CEO.

What You'll Do

• Lead Ryanair’s internal communications strategy.
• Own and manage our Workvivo platform, ensuring it remains engaging, innovative and aligned with business priorities.
• Develop creative, high-impact internal campaigns that connect employees to the Ryanair brand and culture.

• Partner with senior leaders across the business to shape and deliver strategic communications.
• Drive employee engagement through compelling storytelling, video, digital and social-style content
• Continuously improve how we communicate with staff across operational and office-based environments
• Use data, analytics and employee feedback to optimise communications performance and engagement.
• Identify new ideas, tools and technologies to keep Ryanair’s internal communications best-in-class.
• Ensure messaging is clear, consistent and delivered at pace across a large international workforce.

Why Join Ryanair?

At Ryanair, things move quickly, very quickly. We operate at scale, make decisions fast and expect people to take ownership, roll up their sleeves & knuckle down.

In return, you’ll have the opportunity to shape communications for one of Europe’s most recognised brands, lead a talented team, work directly with senior leadership and help define the employee experience for 30,000 colleagues across the business.

If you’re ambitious, creative, commercially aware and ready to build something brilliant — we’d love to hear from you.
