We at Volocopter are pioneers in the development of electrical air taxis that take off and land vertically (eVTOLs). We bring Urban Air Mobility to life, by establishing air taxis in addition to current transportation options in megacities globally. Our aim is to offer affordable on-demand air taxi services and save people time by flying them safely to their destination. In 2011 we performed the first-ever piloted flight of a purely electrical multicopter and have since showcased numerous public flights with our full-scale Volocopter (www.volocopter.com).

Your mission during this flight:

We are looking for an Internal Communications Manager to join our People & Organization (HR) team, reporting to the Head of Organizational Effectiveness. In this role, you’ll have an opportunity to work as a strategic communications partner to craft a strategy and messaging that successfully lands in a human way. You’ll help connect dots across the organization to ensure we’re putting our people’s experience at the center when communicating change. You enjoy variety and are able to ask the right questions in order to get a quick understanding of a program or initiative to craft rich narratives. You see beyond the challenges and think creatively about solutions and stay focused as well as flexible in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You dive into problems and are a doer, as much as a strategist.  You enjoy executing your strategy as much as crafting it.
