Job Summary

Lead the narrative and press strategy for Zeta Labs as the first communications hire, shaping founder voice and major announcements.

  • Own the narrative and messaging for the founders, product milestones, and company announcements.
  • 7+ years in communications with at least 3 years leading PR at a high-growth tech startup.
  • Shape the founders' public presence across conferences, podcasts, and op-eds.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the narrative. What Zeta Labs stands for, what we're building, why now. Most of this is in the co-founders' heads or scattered across decks. You make it coherent and consistent.
  • Run press. Build the relationships, place the stories, manage the announcements — funding, hires, product launches, customer wins. You decide what's worth saying and when.
  • Write. A lot. Founder posts, customer stories, internal memos that go external, the careful sentence at the bottom of an announcement. The voice is yours to shape and protect.
  • Handle the hard moments. Outages, mistakes, a story that goes the wrong way. You're calm, fast, and honest. You know what to say and what not to say.
  • Build the surface area. Podcasts, conferences, op-eds, the co-founders' voices on platforms that matter. You don't chase coverage for its own sake. You pick the rooms worth being in.
  • Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the co-founders. Fryderyk is more often the public face of the company. You shape what he says, when he says it, and where. Peter will be more selective about appearances — you make sure the ones he does count.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in communications, with at least 3 years leading PR at a high-growth startup or in-house at a tech company that punched above its weight.
  • Real reporter relationships. Not a media list. People who pick up when you call.
  • Excellent writer. You can produce a clean draft fast, and you know when to push back on a founder's instinct without losing the voice.
  • Founder mentality. You're building a function, not inheriting one. You thrive with ambiguity, move fast, and figure things out.
  • Remote, Warsaw, or Munich. Work fully remote, or join us in our Warsaw or Munich office. You'll travel for the work — reporter meetings, conferences, founder appearances — but where you live is up to you.

Preferred

  • You've worked in AI, developer tools, or enterprise software and know the beats and the reporters.
  • You've taken a relatively unknown company to the point where everyone in its market knew the name.
  • You've worked somewhere the founders were the public voice and you loved shaping it, not fighting it.
