📌 About the Role

Scribe is a Series C AI startup, and the category we've created is still being defined in real time. We're looking for someone who sits at the intersection of editorial, communications, and brand to own how Scribe and our founders show up in the world, connecting what our product is doing, what our founders are saying, and how the market perceives us. You'll come with a strong point of view on the story we should be telling, not wait to be handed one.

🛠️ What You'll Do

Editorial

• Market perception: Own how Scribe is perceived by our core audiences: enterprise buyers, investors, and top talent. You'll shape the narrative, track how it's landing, continually refine it.

• Speaking strategy: Manage the full lifecycle of executive and brand opportunities: evaluate inbound speaking invitations and proactively identify opportunities for founders, exec team, and Scribe to show up in the right rooms. You'll develop abstracts and prepare spokespeople. You know not every stage is worth the time, and you'll have a clear framework for determining which ones are.

Communications

• PR & agency management: Own Scribe's external communications strategy and manage our PR agency relationship. You set the narrative, define the audience, and build a systematic approach to news jacking, so we're never leaving a relevant moment on the table. Every announcement has a purpose; you define it, amplify it, and measure against it.

• Crisis response playbooks: Develop and maintain playbooks for how Scribe responds to reputational moments, news cycles, and potential crises.

Brand

• Founder brand: Partner closely with our CEO to scale her platform as a founder and thought leader, developing ideas, drafting and editing posts, and helping her show up consistently and authentically across LinkedIn, X, and media appearances. Over time, this expands to other members of the founding and executive team.

• Scribe thought leadership: Ensure every public appearance (on stage, in front of a camera, or in the press) reflects the brand we're building and advances the story we're telling in the market.
  
  

🔍 What We're Looking For

• Education: BA/BS degree

• With 6-8+ years of professional experience spanning editorial, communications, and/or brand. You've done enough of both to know how they inform each other. We care more about the quality of your instincts than the linearity of your path. A journalism background that moved into marketing is just as interesting to us as a traditional comms path

• Exceptional writer across formats and audiences. You can move fluently between strategic thinking and hands-on writing, and are comfortable producing polished work yourself (a press release, a LinkedIn or X post, a founder talking points doc, compelling long-form thought leadership articles, or a crisis statement)

• An editorial sensibility with the ability to assess the fidelity of a story, know when there's a "there there," and get it to the right level of substance before it goes anywhere

• A clear framework for measuring communications impact beyond vanity metrics, and experience developing a strong distribution strategy

• Comfortable working directly with founders to develop and refine their public voice

• Deep understanding of what moves enterprise buyers, investors, and top talent, and how to craft a story that reaches each one differently

• Startup experience. You've operated with lean resources and made it work

✨ Nice to have

• Experience at a high-growth tech company through a significant inflection point, like a fundraise, IPO, or major product launch

• Exposure to analyst relations and what that audience needs

A background in writing, literature, or history

✨You could be a great fit if:

Editorial

• Fresh ideas: You have a sharp editorial sense and generate ideas that feel fresh to what's new and now, across AI, tech, and the broader cultural conversation.

• Opinionated POV: You have a strong POV and come to the table saying "here's the story I think we should tell, here's why, and here's how." With external stories, you find the angle and know what's worth publishing. With internal ones, you know when something will land and can translate it across functions.

Communications

• Cultural fluency: You have deep cultural fluency and sharp instincts for timing. You live at the center of the AI zeitgeist and VC X chatter, and you know when a moment is an opportunity, and how to move fast enough to capitalize on it.

• Excellence: You’ve seen what great comms teams look like, and you're ready to lead the function yourself.

Brand

• Category builder: You've helped shape a narrative in a new or forming category. You understand how to make claims about where the market is going and positioned a company as the one leading the way. You have a strong pulse on the current AI and tech landscape.

• Founder whisperer: You thrive working directly with founders. You understand the difference between what they say and what the company says, and you can bring out their authentic voice without losing your own judgment.

How you create

• Creator: You likely have a creative outlet of your own, like a Substack, a social following, or a body of ghost-written or longform work. You know what it takes to build an audience because you've done it, or helped someone else do it.

• AI-native: You're an early AI adopter, already using AI in ways most people haven't thought of yet. It shows in how fast you learn and decide.

If you’re reading this thinking “that’s me!”, we want to meet you!

• You've only worked at big companies with established brand and comms teams and haven't yet navigated a startup our size (under 200 people)
