⛳️ Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in communications, with substantial expertise in leading corporate communications, public relations, or executive communications within a technology company and/or relevant agency experience.

• Proven success in crafting communications strategies that enhance a company’s reputation or market position—not merely generating media coverage—while managing communications for significant product launches and company milestones.

• Possess the instincts of a modern media storyteller: you can engage with researchers, engineers, and product teams to extract meaningful insights and convert them into narratives that resonate with both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Strong media connections and sound judgment—you understand which stories are worth pitching, when to be proactive versus reactive, and how to navigate high-stakes or delicate situations.

• Comfortable acting as a thought partner to the CEO and executive team, shaping executive voice across talking points, briefings, bylines, keynotes, and social media.

• Sufficient technical fluency to engage credibly on topics such as model performance, developer tools, and enterprise AI deployment. While you don't need to be an ML researcher, a sense of curiosity in this area is essential.

• Ability to thrive in ambiguous situations and possess a builder's mindset—energized by shaping a function that is still developing and capable of creating lightweight structures for launches and cross-functional coordination without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.

• A collaborative approach, with experience working alongside brand, product marketing, product development, demand generation, and go-to-market teams.

• Exceptional writing and editing skills, with a high standard for clarity and craftsmanship.
