Responsibilities

• You'll build and nurture relationships with top-tier media across the US.
• You'll develop and execute integrated communications strategies spanning consumer, corporate and product announcements.
• You'll partner closely with product teams to translate launches, features and innovations into media-ready narratives.
• You'll turn data points, insights and market trends into newsworthy storylines that land locally and regionally.
• You'll pitch stories proactively across personal finance, business, tech and mainstream outlets.
• You'll prepare and brief spokespeople for media opportunities and speaking engagements.
• You'll monitor media and competitor landscapes across the US to identify trends, risks and differentiation opportunities.
• You'll defend Klarna's reputation by addressing misperceptions and pushing for fair, accurate reporting.
• You'll collaborate with global, product, legal, marketing and public policy teams so a single story stays consistent everywhere it lands.
• You'll help build the processes and routines that keep standards consistent across markets.

Requirements

• You've spent 5+ years in communications, spanning consumer, corporate and product communications.
• You've built a US media network you can activate today, and you're ready to drive stories across markets rather than staying in one.
• You're a natural storyteller — you can take a product update, data point or insight and turn it into a headline.
• You're commercially aware and forward-thinking, with instincts for what will resonate culturally and financially across markets.
• You've worked in tech-driven environments where priorities shift week to week, and you take full ownership of outcomes without waiting for direction.
• You're detail-oriented, and you check facts, figures and names before anything goes out.
• You're energized by pitching, relationship-building and seeing stories land across multiple markets.

Preferred

• Agency experience, combined with in-house time at a tech or high-growth company.
• A track record of placing stories with European media, not just pitching US outlets.
• Familiarity with consumer credit, payments or the regulation around them, and how that shapes what a listed company can say publicly.

Benefits

• monthly stipends for health and wellness
• life insurance, medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
• equity rewards
