Job Summary

We are seeking a high-velocity, "scrappy," and deeply experienced Communications Manager to own our global narrative. This is not a typical corporate PR role—there are no agencies to manage and no "fluff" to hide behind. You will be responsible for building direct relationships with Tier-1 tech journalists, ghostwriting for our executive team, and scaling our Share of Voice across North America and Europe. This is a role for a hands-on executor who thrives in a lean startup environment and knows exactly how to get a story picked up by TechCrunch or Forbes through sheer grit and creative pitching.

Key Responsibilities

  • Organic Media Relations: Execute high-impact, direct pitching to Tier-1 and tech-specific media outlets to secure organic placements.
  • Executive Thought Leadership: Act as a ghostwriter and narrative architect for founders, developing high-signal content for LinkedIn, newsletters, and industry publications.
  • Content Distribution: Build and manage AI-assisted workflows to repurpose core insights into LinkedIn carousels, threads, and high-velocity distribution assets.
  • Brand Monitoring: Actively track brand mentions and industry trends to identify "newsjacking" opportunities and keep the team at the center of the global tech conversation.
  • Strategic Growth: Expand the company’s Share of Voice (SoV) in the US and EU markets, moving beyond traditional PR into modern GTM channels like podcasts and interactive newsletters.

Requirements

  • Proven Media Track Record: A documented history of securing organic placements in Tier-1 global tech media (e.g., TechCrunch, Forbes, Wired, VentureBeat).
  • Exceptional Narrative Skills: Advanced (C1/C2) English proficiency with the ability to capture a founder’s voice and transform complex tech topics into compelling stories.
  • Scrappy Execution: 100% autonomy and the ability to deliver massive results without the support of external agencies or large advertising budgets.
  • Technical Proficiency: Professional experience with media databases (Muck Rack, Prowly), LinkedIn automation, and advanced AI-assisted content tools.
  • Startup Mindset: A proactive, direct, and outcome-oriented personality that thrives in a fast-paced, high-velocity environment.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience launching or scaling high-growth B2B SaaS or tech marketplaces in the US market.
  • A background in modern GTM strategies, including executive personal branding and podcast guesting.
  • Experience transitioning traditional PR functions into data-driven, automated content machines.

Benefits

  • 💰 Competitive salary
  • 🌎 Fully remote work environment
  • 🚀 Career growth opportunities to own and scale the global communications function
  • ⏰ Flexible working hours with a focus on results over desk time
  • 🛠️ High autonomy with minimal corporate bureaucracy
  • 📈 Long-term stability in a fast-growing, established tech company
