Communications Manager

Responsibilities

• Own communications. Set and run the comms plan: press, podcasts, awards, and be a facilitator on organic speaking. Own the calendar, the priorities, and the results.
• Find the story. Mine research, benchmark results (e.g., Open Benchmarks Grants, leaderboards), customer wins, and market moments for angles that balance what Snorkel needs to say with what a reporter, host, or judge finds interesting.
• Pitch and place. Secure mainstream and tier-1 trade coverage, podcast appearances, and speaking slots in-house (no agency).
• Write and find the right stories. Collaborate with Research, Product Marketing, and Content to turn insights into a coordinated package: release, byline, data cut, social, podcast talk track.
• Awards and speaking. Manage awards pipeline/submissions and organic speaking proposal calendar.

Requirements

• 5+ years in communications, PR, journalism, or content roles, in-house or agency
• A portfolio of placed and published work
• Exceptional writer: you can produce a publication-ready byline in an executive's voice and a three-sentence pitch that works
• Working fluency in AI and B2B technical topics and the ability to learn fast from researchers and engineers
• Judgment for balancing company goals with what's newsworthy
• Existing or fast-forming relationships with tech and business media, influential podcasts, and technical influencers
• Comfort being measured on results, with a habit of tracking and reporting them

Preferred

• Experience with frontier lab, developer tools, data/ML infrastructure, or enterprise AI companies
• Former reporter or editor
• Experience running awards programs and conference CFP submissions
• Experience using AI tools to augment research, drafting, and media monitoring
