How to Write a Joining Announcement on LinkedIn (With Examples)

A new leadership role is one of the best moments to grow your professional visibility. A well-written joining announcement tells your network what you will do next and why it matters.

What to include

• Your new title and organisation.
• One or two lines on the mandate or focus of the role.
• A short thank-you to your previous organisation and team.
• What you are excited to build next.

A simple template

"I'm delighted to share that I have joined [Company] as [Title]. In this role, I will focus on [mandate]. I'm grateful to my colleagues at [Previous Company] for an incredible journey, and I look forward to building [goal] with the team at [Company]."

Tips to increase reach

• Add a professional photo — posts with images usually get more attention.
• Tag your new company and keep the message short.
• Reply to congratulatory comments to keep the conversation going.
• Update your profile headline on the same day.
