About the Role

You'll own day-to-day communications programs across media relations, product launches, and internal comms — while serving as the primary point of contact for US, EMEA, and APAC agency partners and media. This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up at a company with a strong product, a clear category, and a compelling story to tell. This role requires two days per week in our San Francisco or New York office.

- Support the development of crisis communications protocols and serve as a strategic voice in sensitive situations
Executive communications
- Identify, pursue, and manage award submissions, podcast appearances, and speaking opportunities at key industry conferences and events
- Develop and maintain LinkedIn content strategies for executives, helping amplify their voice and build their professional presence

- Develop and execute broader thought leadership narratives and plans for executives and the company
We're Looking For Someone Who Has
- 7+ years of communications experience, with a strong preference for candidates who have worked both in-house at a B2B tech company and at a PR agency
- Experience in one or more of the following spaces: analytics, data, AI, engineering, product development. You understand the audience and know how to translate technical concepts into stories that resonate.
- Exceptional writer and editor across formats: press releases, media pitches, executive messaging, bylines, internal announcements, and social content
- Strong verbal communicator with confidence presenting to and advising senior stakeholders
- Strong storytelling skills and news judgment
- A track record of securing meaningful coverage in top-tier and tech outlets
- Experience managing external agencies and partners and working cross-functionally with various internal partners
