Who You Are:

  • 8+ years in communications, PR, or editorial roles, including time inside a high-growth technology company rather than only agency-side.
  • Exceptional writing craft, specifically ghostwriting. Bring samples you wrote for someone else's byline, with permission to discuss them.
  • A track record building an executive's public profile and social followers, with evidence of what drove the growth.
  • Real press results in technology or enterprise media.
  • Experience securing meaningful speaking placements and prepping people to perform in them.
  • Experience managing an agency well: setting the brief, holding them to results, and knowing when to override them.
  • Sound judgment under pressure. You have handled at least one genuinely difficult public moment.
  • Enough technical literacy to write credibly about AI, search, and infrastructure without embarrassing the person you are writing for.

Nice to Have:

  • A journalism or editorial background.
  • Experience in AI, developer tools, or deep technology, and existing relationships with reporters in that beat.
  • Analyst relations experience, since this becomes relevant as we sell more to the enterprise.
  • Experience building a comms function in-house from an agency-first setup.
  • Comfort producing beyond text: video, podcast, or event formats.
