Job Description

  • Executive Communications. You will shape and align how the CEO and leadership team communicate — internally and externally — so Formlabs presents a clear, confident, and consistent point of view. This means drafting CEO speeches, keynotes, presentations, and long-form strategy pieces; collaborating on company-level messaging; preparing leadership for high-stakes events and interviews; and developing internal communications that align the organization around a motivating vision.
  • Strategic PR & Global Communications. You will direct the global PR engine to earn disproportionate mindshare and establish Formlabs as the definitive voice in digital fabrication. You'll identify and manage Tier-1 media opportunities, manage the company narrative during complex or sensitive moments, and develop the communication strategy for key launches and milestones — ensuring a clear, consistent voice at every inflection point.
  • Overarching Brand Strategy & Architecture. You will define and govern the long-term structure and language of the Formlabs brand so every product and message fits within a unified global story. This includes maintaining naming systems, product families, and messaging frameworks; setting tone, voice, and narrative guidelines across all functional teams; and designing brand continuity that endures across market cycles and product generations.
  • Pre-IPO Narrative & Strategic Investor Relations. You will establish the narrative discipline required of a public-ready company. Working closely with Finance, you'll develop foundational investor and banker materials, script and execute high-impact narrative videos and roadshow content, and shape the narrative around revenue mix, product economics, and long-term direction.
  • Special Projects & the Zeitgeist. You will quarterback critical, high-visibility projects and tie Formlabs to real-world trends to maximize external mindshare — managing top-tier customer stories, monitoring manufacturing communities and maker culture, and identifying global shifts to leverage for owned and earned content.
