Oak Hill has been enhancing the lives of people with disabilities since 1893! We invite you to join our team of highly committed professionals. Founded in 1893 by trailblazer and visionary, Emily Wells Foster, Oak Hill has over 129 years of experience providing the highest quality services to people with varying disabilities. Oak Hill sets the standard, partnering with people with disabilities, to provide services and solutions promoting independence, education, health, and dignity.
ROLE
Internal Communications Manager
Oak Hill is looking for a strategic, systems-oriented Internal Communications Manager to be an instrumental partner to departments across our organization and ensure that employees are informed, engaged, and connected – to the organization, our mission, and each other.
This role combines building and doing, delivering clear, day-to-day communication across the organization while also shaping how internal communications operates – the processes, structure, and tools that support it.
If you enjoy both storytelling and designing the systems that make communication actually work, we’d love to hear from you.
Why This Role Matters
This is a new position within Oak Hill’s Communications team, which is itself a growing function at the organization. Reporting to the Senior Director of Communications, you will play a key role in executing and continuing to build our internal communications strategy as we deploy our intranet, break down silos, and engage a decentralized workforce that spends most of its time hands-on with the individuals we serve.
Because this function is still developing, a meaningful part of this role will involve helping to build and refine how internal communications operates – including managing workflows, bringing structure to requests, and creating consistency across the organization. As these systems become more established, the role will shift from building processes to managing them – with more focus on content, planning, and consistency.
This Role Might Be For You If You
- Are energized by building something while doing the work.
- Are as comfortable organizing work and managing projects as you are writing and shaping content.
- Want to make a real difference. You’ve previously worked in non-profit or are eager to bring your skills to a mission-driven setting.
- Think beyond the surface. You ask insightful questions, challenge assumptions, and help teams connect the dots in ways they hadn’t considered.
- Can manage multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and incomplete inputs without losing momentum.
- Understand the role of an intranet: How to build and maintain an organized, user-friendly platform that enhances – not complicates – communication.
- Understand how to effectively engage a workforce that is not desk-based and doesn’t rely on email as a primary channel.
How You’ll Make an Impact
- Build, deploy and manage the intranet (SharePoint) for Oak Hill and our affiliates, ensuring it remains an organized, useful, and engaging resource (approximately 50% of your time).
- Build and manage a content pipeline – actively working with teams to surface information and stories, and establishing consistent ways for that information to be shared.
- Help design and implement workflows for internal communications, including how requests are submitted, prioritized, and executed.
- Develop clear, effective content to support what employees want and need to know.
- Shape and maintain a strategic internal communications calendar that aligns with key announcements, initiatives, and employee deadlines.
- Partner with departments and leadership to turn information into usable communication – not just execute what is handed to you.
- Manage internal communications workflow from intake through execution – clarifying requests, setting expectations, and ensuring follow-through.
- Monitor and measure the effectiveness through feedback and data analysis, and adjust approach over time.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of experience in internal communications, corporate communications, or a related field.
- Experience managing projects, workflows, or cross-functional work (not just producing communications).
- Storytelling expertise. You craft compelling narratives that engage employees across different formats.
- Strong collaboration skills. You build meaningful relationships with leaders and employees at all levels.
- Intranet experience, both the strategy and hands-on management. Experience within a Microsoft ecosystem (SharePoint, Teams, etc.) and with building an intranet from scratch is preferred.
- Excellent organizational and judgment skills. You can juggle multiple projects, meet deadlines, and adapt to shifting priorities.
- A bachelor's degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, or a related field.
(We recognize that experience comes in diverse forms, and we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all these criteria.)
Why Oak Hill?
Oak Hill is the largest private provider of disability services in Connecticut, with 130+ years of experience serving individuals with disabilities. We are a non-profit, and people are at the heart of everything we do. In this role, you’ll benefit from:
- Hybrid work model based out of our Hartford office.
- Affordable medical, dental, vision insurance, with costs nearly 50% below the national average.
- 403(b) retirement plan: We contribute 9.5% of your gross earnings annually – whether you contribute or not.
- Free long-term disability insurance: Protection for you if you’re ever sick or injured.
- Life insurance options: Free and low-cost plans for peace of mind.
- Generous time off, with 4 weeks of paid vacation, plus personal days, sick time, and 12 paid holidays.
Starting salary: $67,200 - $79,800, commensurate with experience.
As part of your application, please include a cover letter with your interest in this role and a brief example of something you’ve built from scratch.
We support equality for and advancement of all people, based on their qualifications and actions alone, without regard to color, gender, age, religion, national origin or disability.

If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, please reach out to total.rewards@oakhillct.org. We will make every effort to accommodate your needs in accordance with applicable laws and our commitment to accessibility and inclusion.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an Internal Communications Manager
Document your specialized communications credentials early
PERM requires your employer to define a minimum qualification tied to the role, not to you personally. Gather your degree transcripts, professional credentials, and evidence of specialized work in employee engagement or change communications before the job search begins.
Target employers with dedicated HR or legal teams
PERM sponsorship for a communications manager requires sustained employer commitment across 12 to 24 months. Companies with in-house immigration counsel or HR teams experienced with employment-based filings are far more likely to see the process through than startups or lean operations.
Search for EB-3 sponsoring roles using Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Internal Communications Manager openings by employers with active green card filing history. This surfaces roles where PERM sponsorship is already an established practice rather than a first-time negotiation.
Verify the prevailing wage before accepting an offer
DOL sets a prevailing wage for your occupation and location through the OFLC Wage Search tool. Your offered salary must meet or exceed this figure for the PERM labor certification to be approved, so confirm the wage level before committing to an offer.
Clarify sponsorship scope during the offer negotiation
Some employers will sponsor EB-3 but not EB-2, or will only file after a probationary period. Ask directly whether the offer covers PERM filing, I-140 petition, and adjustment of status, and get the commitment in writing before you sign.
Use O*NET to build your specialty occupation case
The O*NET profile for Internal Communications Managers documents the degree requirements and specialized knowledge the role demands. Reference this data when your employer drafts the PERM job description to strengthen the case that the position requires a professional-level credential.
Green Card Internal Communications Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Internal Communications Manager role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Both categories are available depending on how the employer defines the minimum requirement. If the role requires a master's degree or a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience in communications or a related field, EB-2 applies. A role requiring a bachelor's degree alone typically falls under EB-3. The employer sets this threshold in the PERM job description, so the classification is determined before the application is filed.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for this role?
H-1B visa is a temporary work visa capped at 65,000 per year with a lottery, while employment-based green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency with no annual cap at the EB-3 category for most nationalities. The trade-off is timeline: PERM typically adds 12 to 24 months before you can file for adjustment of status, and applicants from India and China face longer waits due to per-country backlogs. For nationals from most other countries, the EB-3 path moves significantly faster than H-1B lottery cycles.
What does the PERM labor certification process look like for a communications role?
Your employer files a PERM application with DOL to certify that no qualified U.S. worker is available at the offered wage. This requires a supervised recruitment campaign, including job postings, newspaper ads, and a review of all applicants. The process takes roughly six to twelve months from recruitment to DOL decision. Your employer then files an I-140 petition with USCIS, and once that is approved, you can apply for adjustment of status if a visa number is current.
How do I find Internal Communications Manager jobs where employers are already open to green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search Internal Communications Manager openings filtered by employers with documented green card filing history, so you're not cold-pitching sponsorship to employers who have never done it before. Starting your search with employers who have completed PERM filings for similar roles removes one of the biggest friction points in the process.
Can I switch employers after my PERM is filed but before my green card is approved?
PERM and the I-140 petition are tied to a specific employer and role. If you change jobs before the I-140 is approved, the entire process typically restarts. Once your I-140 is approved and your priority date has been pending for 180 days or more, portability rules under AC21 may allow you to move to a similar role at a new employer without losing your place in line. Confirm whether your new role qualifies as same or similar before accepting any offer.
