About the job
What You Will Own

- Leverage AI to rethink / speed up conventional PR workflows, reporting, dashboards, coverage tracking, competitive intelligence, etc.
- Cross-functional partnership: embedded communications input in product launches, investor narrative, and partnership strategy
- Competitive intelligence: a standing practice that informs narrative planning and keeps Wispr Flow ahead of the category conversation

What We Are Looking For
- 10 or more years of communications experience, with meaningful time building programs and teams at high-growth technology companies
- Range across narrative craft and distribution mechanics: you write well, you think in systems, and you do not outsource either
- Demonstrated ability to translate technical complexity across multiple distinct audiences without losing substance for any of them
- Business and financial fluency: you understand how positioning, growth narrative, and investor perception connect to communications strategy
- Strong media relationships built on trust over time and a proactive news sense
- Proven issues management judgment: you have handled something that mattered, under pressure, and made the right call
- High agency, low ego: you ship, you give direct feedback, you are accountable for outcomes not outputs
