Sage

Advise leaders on internal communications strategy, shape audience-led plans, assess communication risks and feedback, and coordinate delivery across teams. | Requires significant communications experience in complex organizations, senior-level advisory and influencing ability, sound judgment, strong writing, and experience supporting internal communications and change. | About Our Team You’ll join a collaborative and growing global Internal Communications team who partner with leaders and teams across the business - building trusted relationships and influencing how priorities, change, and strategy are communicated. Working across regions, we ensure communication is clear, inclusive, and relevant to diverse audiences – balancing global consistency with local nuance. Together, we help colleagues stay informed, connected, and engaged in Sage’s strategy, culture, and transformation. Your New Role As an Internal Communications Business Partner (ICBP), you’ll act as a strategic advisor to senior leaders, shaping and enabling clear, credible and effective communication that supports Sage’s business strategy and employee experience. This is a high-impact partnering role where you'll use judgement, insight, and influence to guide leaders on what to communicate, when, and how – particularly in complex or ambiguous situations. Alongside this advisory and insight‑led role, the ICBP is accountable for activating and delivering internal communications across assigned areas, ensuring communications are audience‑led, well‑timed and consistently aligned to Sage’s enterprise narrative and Employee Experience principles. You will: • Act as an internal communications advisor to leaders within assigned regions, functions or business pillars, providing strategic counsel on intent, risk, sequencing and audience impact to shape effective communications approaches. • Translate internal communications strategy, enterprise narrative and employee experience (EX) principles into integrated, audience‑led communications plans that support business priorities and outcomes. • Shape, challenge and sense‑check communications requests to ensure clarity of purpose, appropriate tone, realistic sequencing and alignment to enterprise narrative expectations, balancing consistency with local relevance. • Apply judgement to plan and sequence communications activity within assigned areas, operating within prioritization, escalation and risk thresholds. • Own publishing and send authority for agreed communications within assigned areas, advancing activity linked to defined change agendas or enterprise‑level risk as appropriate. • Actively assess and surface communications‑related risks, tensions or misalignment, adjusting approach where possible and advancing when organizational, reputational or employee‑relations thresholds are met. • Sense‑check how communications and change are landing with colleagues, interpreting feedback, sentiment and delivery experience to inform advice, planning and continuous improvement. • Bring real‑world insight and emerging sentiment into the Internal Communications function, contributing to planning, prioritization, standards and evolution of the Business Partnering model. • Collaborate closely with Employee Experience, channels, operations and specialist roles to ensure clear briefs, strong alignment and effective hand‑offs from planning through delivery. • Maintain a strong understanding of business context, leadership priorities and organizational dynamics within assigned areas, using this insight to strengthen communications advice and impact. Can you be our new Internal Communications Business Partner? We are looking for: • Significant experience in internal communications, corporate communications or a related field, operating in complex, matrixed or multi‑stakeholder environments. • Demonstrated ability to operate as a senior strategic advisor to leaders, providing credible counsel on communications approach, sequencing and risk, not simply delivery support. • Strong critical thinking skills, with the ability to connect business intent, organizational context, audience needs and employee experience principles to shape effective communications plans. • Sound judgement and confidence operating in ambiguity, applying discretion and independent thinking to assess risk, trade‑offs and implications for colleagues and the organization. • Proven ability to influence and challenge senior collaborators constructively, building trusted relationships and shaping decisions without relying on formal authority. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging, tone and framing for different audiences, contexts and levels of complexity. • Experience planning and delivering internal communications that support business priorities, change activity and leadership objectives, balancing enterprise consistency with local relevance and nuance. • Strong understanding of employee experience, organizational dynamics and change, with the ability to interpret how communications and change are landing with colleagues and feed insight back into planning and decision‑making. • Comfortable working across specialist and operational roles (e.g. channels, operations, events), providing clear direction, strong briefs and effective collaboration from planning through delivery. • Organized and disciplined in approach, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, apply sequencing judgment and maintain high standards in fast‑moving environments.

Define architecture for edge computing platform, build reliable systems integrating edge hardware and cloud, mentor engineers, and lead technical problem solving. | 7+ years in complex backend systems, strong Linux/Unix proficiency, networking experience, and low-level computing fundamentals. | About Us The first baby boomers turn 80 this year. Over the next decade, the population most likely to need daily care will grow faster than the buildings, the staff, or the systems available to serve it. Sage is the care intelligence platform for senior living and skilled nursing. We connect the hardware senior care runs on, including nurse call, fall management, and wander management, with software caregivers actually use. That consistent use is what produces reliable data, and reliable data is what gives operators a true picture of how their communities are running. Sage is a collaborative team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs on a mission to reinvent senior care with a modern operating system for caregivers. Millions of people depend on this care getting better, and we move with the urgency that deserves. About This Role Somewhere in a senior living community right now, a camera and a small computer are working together to figure out whether the person who just fell is okay. The community’s network connection may be fiddly and unreliable, and the deployed hardware has its own quirks. That system is one of thousands just like it, running software your team wrote, doing work that matters if something goes wrong. This is the job: building and evolving the systems that enable edge hardware (including cameras and other sensors), and cloud infrastructure to work together reliably, at scale, even when a connection drops or a device behaves in a way nobody planned for. If you've spent real time in Linux, networking, or hardware because you were curious rather than because a job required it, we think you could thrive in this role. We care less about whether you've used our exact stack before and more about whether you're the kind of engineer who takes a system apart, mentally or literally, until you understand why it works. You'll define the architecture for Sage's edge computing platform, own hard and often unsolved problems (e.g. fall detection, resident location tracking, integrating unpredictable third-party hardware), and help set the technical bar for the engineering org. You'll also mentor other engineers and be a voice in how we build, not just what we build. What You'll Do Shape the architecture of a fleet of edge devices deployed in the physical world, and the cloud systems that orchestrate, monitor, and update them Dig into ambiguous, often novel problems (resident location modeling, fall detection, sensor fusion) Build the diagnostic tooling that lets us understand what's happening on hardware we can't just walk up to Get hands-on with remote troubleshooting when something breaks in the field, reasoning about network, hardware, and software all at once Work directly with other Sage teams to ship solutions end to end collaboratively Review code and run design discussions, and help less experienced engineers get better by through teaching and explaining Push back on us when there's a better way to build something; we'd rather be right than consistent What We're Looking For This describes the kind of engineer who tends to thrive in this role. If most of it sounds like you, we want to hear from you, even if your resume doesn't map cleanly onto "IoT engineer." You have professional experience working in complex backend systems: This usually means at least 7+ years of work experience, building (and sometimes breaking) within systems that grew and changed over time. You understand systems, not just frameworks: You're comfortable in Linux/Unix environments well past the level of running commands you looked up. You've broken things, debugged them, and come out the other side understanding what happened. You have real depth in at least one language (object-oriented or otherwise; Java, C++, Rust, Go, Python, and C# are all fine signals) with strong computing fundamentals and can reason about memory, concurrency, and performance at a lower level. You have working knowledge of networking, enough to reason about what happens when a device drops offline mid-update, or why a connection is behaving strangely, without needing to look up the fundamentals first. You're demonstrably curious, e.g. in side projects, open source contributions, a home lab, a technical hobby, or a history of teaching yourself things. We care less about the domain than that it exists. You can hold complexity and still ship. You've led a technical effort, official title or not, from a fuzzy problem to a real outcome, and you know how to make tradeoffs under ambiguity. Re: years of experience: we're not fixated on the number. We care about depth and range. Someone with 6 years of genuinely varied, hands-on systems work will often be a stronger fit than someone with 10 years in a narrow web stack. If you're unsure whether your background counts, apply anyway and let us figure that out together. Nice to Haves These are bonuses, not filters: Strong, well-reasoned opinions about tools and technologies, including ones you'd argue against using Experience with RF communication or hands-on hardware/embedded work Experience customizing Linux distributions for commercial deployment Experience designing across edge and cloud environments, including OTA updates and fleet management Familiarity with a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure). We use AWS, but we're more interested in your ability to reason about distributed systems generally than in prior AWS-specific experience Benefits and Pay Our headquarters are located near New York City's Union Square. We believe in cross team collaboration. We think good ideas can come from anyone, and we've designed our processes to encourage participation from all. While we take our mission seriously, we don't take ourselves too seriously. We like to host offsites, outings, and team meals where we can connect as people, not just as colleagues. We offer office lunch and a fully stocked snack bar. While we are an in office culture, we allow up to 2 remote days per week. Our benefits package for employees includes competitive base compensation along with stock options. The expected annual salary range for this role is $175,000-$230,000 USD, depending on your level of expertise, your experience, and your performance in the interview process. We also provide fully-paid health and dental insurance coverage for all of our employees, along with other health benefits including vision insurance, membership to premium primary and urgent care, and online medical health providers. We also have a take as you need time off policy, in addition to 7 paid holidays and a company wide winter break during the holidays.
