Responsibilities
Own our corporate messaging from the narrative, messaging pillars, proof points, differentiation, "what we do / why it matters," and audience-specific variants (media, customers, partners, talent, analysts)
Establish and maintain a messaging architecture that scales: master narrative, storylines, and FAQs
Translate complex technical and business concepts into clear, compelling stories for non-technical audiences
Build and maintain core comms assets (boilerplate, company overview, executive bios, media kit, key slides, briefing materials)
Develop and execute earned media strategy across business and relevant trade outlets, setting priorities, storylines, targets, and timing in partnership with our PR agency
Enable and support agency pitching by providing clear narrative direction, proof points, spokespeople access, and fast-turn materials while doing select direct pitching for high-priority opportunities and priority relationships
Manage inbound media requests, staff interviews, and coordinate rapid responses when news breaks; ensure the agency has what it needs to move quickly and accurately
Write and ship press releases, media statements, Q&A, and briefing documents with speed and precision; review and elevate agency drafts to meet quality and message-discipline standards
Build a proactive story engine beyond launches (trend POV, partner/customer narratives, credible proof-driven angles), supplying the agency with a steady pipeline of well-developed story hooks
Own the executive visibility program: speaking opportunities, bylines, podcasts, awards, and key industry forums
Create speaker submissions and supporting materials; prepare executives with message discipline and rehearsal
Lead communications planning for major announcements and milestones
Manage PR agencies and vendors as needed; set clear briefs, maintain high standards, and measure outcomes
Own internal communications (e.g., all-hands support, leadership announcements, manager toolkits, FAQs), ensuring employees understand company priorities and key decisions
Ensure internal and external messaging stay aligned and reinforce the same narrative
Establish monitoring and a pragmatic issues-response approach (escalation paths, holding statements, and clear ownership) appropriate for a lean team operating at high speed
Qualification
Required
10+ years in corporate communications, PR, or marketing communications; experience in technical B2B, deep tech, or complex products strongly preferred

Demonstrated ability to secure high-quality coverage and build executive visibility programs end-to-end
Outstanding writing and editing skills; you can draft polished materials quickly and confidently
Strong judgment and attention to detail, especially around accuracy, substantiation, and sensitive topics
