## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Work closely with leadership to channel their vision into a clear, external narrative translating complex technical and strategic ideas into messaging that resonates with customers, investors, and the broader market.
- Own all company messaging end-to-end: press releases, blog posts, thought leadership, executive communications, and everything in between. Every word we publish should be deliberate, precise, and on-brand.
- Build and execute a media strategy that puts Fluidstack in front of the right audiences cultivating journalist and analyst relationships, identifying the right channels, and knowing when and how to make noise.
- Manage high-stakes communications whether that's a major product announcement, a fundraise, or navigating a sensitive moment. You'll be the person who stays calm and gets it right.
- Partner cross-functionally with leadership, sales, and recruiting to ensure our external voice is consistent and compelling across every touchpoint from investor decks to job postings.

- Proven experience in communications, PR, or content strategy, ideally within a fast-moving tech or infrastructure company.
- A track record of building and owning a company narrative from the ground up — not just executing someone else's playbook.
- Established relationships with tech and business media. You know the right journalists and know how to work with them effectively.
- Experience managing high-stakes communications moments: funding announcements, crises, executive profiling, or significant product launches.
- Strong strategic instincts — you understand business context and can translate company priorities into communications that serve them.
- Comfortable operating autonomously in a fast-paced, scaling environment where priorities shift and speed matters.
- Sharp judgment. You know what to say, what not to say, and when to say it.
