At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.
As Vanta's Internal Communications Director, you'll help set the internal beat of the company making sure every team member understands the messages that matter, while also defining how we communicate with each other as we scale
The People team builds the systems, culture, and experience that let Vanta'ns do their best work as we grow quickly across the globe. Internal comms sits at the heart of that mission: making sure every Vanta'n understands our strategy, our story, and what's expected of them, no matter how fast we're moving.
Reporting to the Head of People, this is a build-from-scratch mandate. You'll define the strategy, the infrastructure, and the cadence for how Vanta communicates. You'll have room to bring your own voice and instincts into how we do it, from the words we choose for a key company moment to how an all-hands actually feels in the room. Then you'll roll up your sleeves to make it happen.
What you’ll do as an Internal Communications Director at Vanta:
Shape how Vanta tells its own story internally and ensure that key messages land at exactly the right moment.
Build and manage internal comms infrastructure: the channels, cadences and best practices for how the company communicates (Slack norms, docs, wikis, etc.).
Own key internal company-wide moments end to end, including all-hands, major announcements, and org-wide notifications, from planning through delivery.
Partner closely with the People team as a strategic sounding board on sensitive or high-stakes communications
Serve as a strategic communications partner across the business, triaging and prioritizing company-wide communication requests and partnering with stakeholders to translate complex topics into clear, effective messaging.
Partner with Marketing and External Comms to keep our internal and external narrative aligned and consistent.
Act as a trusted advisor to the C-team and Leadership Team on how and when to communicate major business updates.
Build and protect company culture and morale through comms, keeping the energy and momentum visible as Vanta grows.
Evolve Vanta's internal comms strategy and toolkit as the company scales, experimenting with new formats and channels.
Measure and iterate on what's working, bringing a data-informed lens to internal comms.
How to be successful in this role:
8-10+ years of experience building and running an internal comms strategy, ideally at a high-growth company.
Proven track record on building an internal comms strategy and executing on that strategy
Strong writer and storyteller who can translate complex or sensitive topics into clear, human messaging.
Comfortable operating at both altitudes. Can set strategy but is equally willing to execute (write the email, run the all-hands, edit the deck).
Executive influence and partnership. Able to partner with and influence the C-team and Leadership Team.
Experience partnering with People/HR teams on sensitive organizational communications.
Excellent judgment and prioritization skills, with the ability to balance competing communication requests, advise stakeholders on what requires company-wide visibility.
A natural sense for culture and energy. Someone who brings personality and vibes, not just polished corporate messaging.
Creative and willing to take risks and try new things. Comfortable pitching bold or unconventional ideas, and knows how to calibrate when to push and when to dial it back.
Leverage AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.

About Vanta

Tips for Your Remote Head Of Communications Job Search
Prove you lead async communications teams
Remote employers want evidence you can align distributed stakeholders without walking the halls. Document how you have managed remote agencies, briefed spokespeople across time zones, or coordinated crisis responses entirely in writing, and make those examples visible in your application materials.
Build a portfolio of remote-deliverable work
Remote head of communications roles are assessed on output, not office presence. Compile press placements, internal communications frameworks, messaging guides, and campaign results that hiring managers can evaluate asynchronously, since your portfolio often does the convincing before an interview is scheduled.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote head of communications openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings. Applying in the first days a role is posted improves your chances at competitive remote positions.
Signal remote readiness in your written materials
Your cover letter and any written samples are themselves a demonstration of your communication skills for a remote role. Remote employers at the head of communications level notice how precisely you write, how clearly you frame strategy, and whether your voice is consistent across every document they receive from you.
Remote Head Of Communications Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote head of communications job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed organizations that have built asynchronous communication into how they operate, since those employers understand what a remote communications leader needs to succeed. Remote hiring managers screen for strong written communication, the ability to drive strategy without in-person visibility, and a portfolio of campaigns or initiatives you led independently. Demonstrating experience managing remote teams or agencies gives you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote head of communications?
Remote head of communications roles are posted by Whatnot, Hut 8, and Vanta and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Remote-first technology firms, distributed healthcare organizations, and national nonprofits are among the most consistent employers of head of communications talent in fully remote settings.
Can you get a remote head of communications job with no experience?
Yes, but remote head of communications roles are rarely entry-level, since employers expect you to operate independently from day one without in-person mentorship. Candidates early in their careers can break in by leading communications for a nonprofit, a startup, or a high-profile internal project that produced measurable results. A strong writing portfolio and demonstrated ability to manage stakeholders asynchronously matter more than years on a resume.
Do you need a degree for remote head of communications jobs?
Not always. Remote employers at this seniority level weigh a documented body of work, including press coverage secured, campaigns launched, and organizational narratives shaped, alongside or instead of formal credentials. Many remote head of communications roles list a degree as preferred rather than required, and candidates who can show results from past communications programs regularly compete successfully without one.
Which industries hire the most remote head of communications?
Most remote head of communications openings sit in Technology & Software, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors favor remote communications leadership because their organizations operate across multiple time zones and regions, making a distributed communications function a natural fit.
