## Job Description

## What You Will Own
- Corporate narrative and positioning: message architecture, audience-specific narrative tracks, and the discipline to hold consistency across a fast-moving company
- The communications system: editorial calendar, media strategy, social strategy, campaign planning, content production, agency management, and performance measurement
- Maximizing for positive reach and positioning across the press and media channels we care about most
- Executive communications: building a durable CEO voice across LinkedIn, X, podcasts, speaking, and long-form writing, as a repeatable system rooted in genuine conviction
- Audience translation: distinct narrative tracks for developers, consumers, enterprise buyers, press, and recruits, each tuned in depth and frame of reference without diluting the substance
- Understanding and building a targeted relationship with emerging media: podcasts, newsletters, streaming shows, creators that blur the lines between influencers and media
- 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
- Reputation and issues management: proactive scenario planning, rapid response, and the judgment to make the right call under pressure

## 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
- AI-native in practice: you use AI tools to move faster and better while maintaining high editorial standards
