What it’s like to be a Northbridge Senior Internal Communications Specialist

As an Senior Internal Communications Specialist at Northbridge, you’ll play a key role in how information flows across the organization and how employees experience our digital workplace.

You’ll partner closely with stakeholders across the business – including IT, Cyber, People & Culture, and senior leaders – to deliver engaging, branded, intuitive content and digital experiences. As the organization’s platform subject matter expert, you’ll guide teams on best practices, support daily content needs, bring forward enhancements, and ensure our digital channels stay modern, functional, and aligned to business priorities.

You have:

• 5+ years of progressive experience in internal/employee communications role
• Hands‑on experience with Intranet/Microsoft SharePoint (required)

We really mean it when we say we put you first. Here are a few ways how:

• Hybrid work! We have a flexible hybrid model that allows you to work from home up to 2 days per week, with added flexibility for when you really need it.
• We offer competitive salaries and support your financial health through our employee share purchase plan, pension plans, RRSP, discounts on staff insurance, and more!
• We help you prioritize your well‑being from day one through flexible health benefits, early leave days, wellness programs, rewards, and recognition programs.
• We are invested in helping you grow in your career through education assistance to complete your CIP, FCIP, CRM or other courses desired, internal mobility, leadership training, and mentoring programs.
• NBFC cares about the community and supports the causes you believe in with donation matching and team volunteer days.

We’re committed to pay transparency and fairness. The base salary range for this role is $82,000 – $110,000, which reflects the expected base pay – not the total compensation package. The actual base salary may vary depending on your experience, skills, and alignment with the position. We’re also open to candidates at different levels, so if this range doesn’t quite match your expectations, don’t let that hold you back - we’d still love to hear from you.

This is a real opportunity - we’re actively hiring! If the role sounds like a good fit, we encourage you to apply. Beyond base pay, we offer a robust Total Rewards program that includes benefits, wellness support, and other meaningful perks.

We also want to be transparent about our hiring process. While one of our systems includes AI capabilities, over 99% of our screening is done by real people. We believe in thoughtful, human-centered hiring decisions, and are committed to giving every application the attention it deserves.
