Job Description

GE HealthCare’s global internal communications team is seeking a tech-savvy, detail-oriented communications manager to lead the day-to-day operation and continuous improvement of our enterprise colleague communications channels.

This role will serve as the communications team’s hands-on digital-channel expert for The Beat, GE HealthCare’s web- and app-based internal communications platform. The position will manage central channel planning and publishing discipline, channel performance analytics, governance, contributor enablement, and communications-side platform implementation.

You will join at a critical moment as we build and refine our next generation communication channel ecosystem to create a reliably relevant colleague communications experience. Longer term, this role will focus on optimizing The Beat and related channels to improve the colleague experience, strengthen publishing practices, increase adoption and engagement, and help the communications team make better decisions using channel insights.

To be impactful in this role, you must be able to work effectively in a global, matrixed organization; collaborate with numerous stakeholders; manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously; understand how different channels meet the needs of different audience segments; explain technical capabilities and implications to nontechnical partners; execute with precision; and translate performance data into actionable recommendations.

GE HealthCare is a leading global medical technology and digital solutions innovator. Our purpose is to create a world where healthcare has no limits. Unlock your ambition, turn ideas into world-changing realities, and join an organization where every voice makes a difference and every difference builds a healthier world.

The Internal Communications team is focused on engaging GE HealthCare colleagues globally and creating a strong internal colleague experience while advancing the company’s strategy, purpose and culture.

We are looking for a motivated, technically capable and detail-oriented internal communications professional to lead central digital-channel operations and help improve how GE HealthCare plans, publishes, measures and governs colleague communications.

In this role, you will work directly within The Beat platform and related communications and workflow tools to build, publish, configure, test, troubleshoot and report on central colleague communications. You will manage the detailed all-colleague publishing calendar and contributor workflow, lead the content contributor network, strengthen channel governance and standard work, and use performance insights to recommend improvements.

You will work closely with the Colleague Engagement Communications Leader, technical product manager, internal communicators, and content contributors across GE HealthCare globally.

Channels and tools may include the web- and app-based internal communications platform, email, digital signage, broadcast, project management and other platforms used to plan, publish and measure colleague communications.

• Lead the content contributor network through regular communications, onboarding, training, platform guidance, problem-solving and accountability.
• Own channel governance, publishing standards, standard operating procedures and quality control, resolving routine issues independently and escalating significant exceptions when appropriate.
• Advise communicators on audience needs, channel selection, timing, targeting and content approach, while providing backup support for priority central-channel production and distributions.
• Own the Patient Stories program, including sourcing, content development, applicable compliance, channel strategy and promotion.
• Contribute to the Colleague Communications Center of Excellence by improving standard work, reducing manual effort and responsibly applying AI-enabled tools where they improve quality, efficiency or insight.
