At Hanson Search, we specialise in placing top-tier internal communications leaders who can shape culture, drive clarity, and build trust from the inside out.
In today’s fast-moving and hyper-connected world, internal communications is no longer a “nice-to-have” — it’s a strategic necessity. A strong internal comms function ensures that your people are aligned, informed and engaged, no matter where they’re working. One poorly handled message can ripple across an organisation — or worse, across the internet. That’s why getting the right leadership in place is so critical.
We work across all industries to help businesses find senior internal communications talent who can deliver real impact — from leading through change and transformation to driving employee engagement and reinforcing your employer brand. The function now sits closer than ever to the C-suite, acting as a vital link between leadership and your workforce.
Whether you’re hiring for a global Head of Internal Communications, Director of Engagement, or Employee Experience Lead, our dedicated search consultants bring deep sector knowledge and a strong global network. We partner with FTSE businesses, scale-ups, NGOs, and government-backed institutions to build teams that lead with confidence and credibility.
Our Expertise Includes:
Internal communications strategy and leadership
Change and transformation communications
Organisational culture and development
Employee engagement and employer brand
Executive messaging and leadership communications
Digital internal channels and content strategy
Our team possesses a unique blend of industry expertise, advanced recruitment acumen, and professional assessment skills on a global scale. With an in-depth understanding of the market, we are perfectly positioned to help you hire the best talent that you need
