Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build Ibotta's B2B Brand & Narrative
  • Develop and own a cohesive communications strategy that positions Ibotta as a leading enterprise technology company and IPN as the definitive performance marketing platform for CPG brands
  • Drive a deliberate shift in how Ibotta is perceived by the industry — from consumer loyalty app to full-stack B2B technology partner
  • Craft compelling messaging frameworks that resonate with CPG, retail, agency, and adtech leaders
  • Champion a narrative that repositions promotional spend from a cost center to a growth lever, with IPN as the modern alternative to legacy solutions
  • Partner closely with the marketing team to identify, develop, and amplify thought leadership opportunities across earned media, trade press, and industry publications
  • Cultivate a vast network of journalists, editors, and analysts across top tier CPG, retail media, and adtech publications
  • Develop a steady pipeline of bylines, contributed content, and speaking opportunities that reinforce Ibotta's enterprise positioning
  • Use media monitoring and share-of-voice analytics to measure program effectiveness, identify coverage gaps, and make the case internally for where communications investment is — and isn't — moving the needle
  • Develop and manage an executive communications program that places the CEO and CRO on prominent stages at marquee industry events (e.g., CES, Cannes Lions, NRF, GroceryShop)

Requirements

  • 12+ years of communications experience, with significant time spent in B2B technology, adtech, retail media, or CPG-adjacent industries
  • A track record of building disruptive, category challenger narratives with demonstrated experience reframing how a market thinks about a product or strategy
  • Comfortable operating as both a strategic leader and hands-on executor in a fast-moving, founder-led environment — with the builder instincts to create from scratch and the credibility to earn trust at the executive level
  • Proven track record of securing meaningful earned media coverage and building editorial relationships with blue chip publications
  • Deep experience developing executive thought leadership programs with measurable outcomes (stage placements, bylines, share of voice)
  • Existing relationships with trade and business press covering CPG, retail, and adtech
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication with the ability to translate complex technology into crisp, executive-ready narratives
