Responsibilities

• Executive and founder brand
• Own the development and expression of our leaders' public points of view: essays, tweets, op-eds, interviews, and the editorial calendar behind them. Ghostwrite at volume and at quality. Success is measured by audience growth, engagement from the people we want listening, and the leaders' own confidence that the words are theirs.
• Speaking program
• Own the pipeline of conferences, podcasts, panels, and industry moments: sourcing, evaluating, securing, prepping, and coaching. Success is measured by the quality of placements accepted and by performance in the room.
• Press and media
• Own media strategy and results, managing our agency today and building the in-house function over time. Own launch coverage, reactive and inbound press, relationships with the reporters who matter in AI infrastructure, and the messaging discipline behind every conversation. Success is measured by coverage that reaches technical and enterprise buyers, not just volume.
• Social and owned channels
• Own company social presence and editorial cadence: what we say, when, in what voice, and how we amplify the work of our engineers. Coordinate employee engagement to amplify company socials. Success is measured by owned audience growth and by whether developers find our channels worth following.
• Narrative for company moments
• Own the story and calendar for announcements, launches, milestones, and anything that requires a coordinated public position. Success is measured by message discipline across every surface on the day.

Requirements

• 8+ years in communications, PR, or editorial roles, including time inside a high-growth technology company rather than only agency-side.
• Exceptional writing craft, specifically ghostwriting. Bring samples you wrote for someone else's byline, with permission to discuss them.
• A track record building an executive's public profile and social followers, with evidence of what drove the growth.
• Real press results in technology or enterprise media.
• Experience securing meaningful speaking placements and prepping people to perform in them.
• Experience managing an agency well: setting the brief, holding them to results, and knowing when to override them.
• Sound judgment under pressure. You have handled at least one genuinely difficult public moment.
• Enough technical literacy to write credibly about AI, search, and infrastructure without embarrassing the person you are writing for.

Preferred

• A journalism or editorial background.
• Experience in AI, developer tools, or deep technology, and existing relationships with reporters in that beat.
• Analyst relations experience, since this becomes relevant as we sell more to the enterprise.
• Experience building a comms function in-house from an agency-first setup.
• Comfort producing beyond text: video, podcast, or event formats.

Benefits

• Health and wellness: Premium medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus a monthly wellness benefit and a monthly commuter benefit for our SF team.
• Fertility and family planning: Reimbursement for eligible egg freezing and related medical expenses up to a $15,000 lifetime maximum, plus 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all new parents, whether through birth, adoption, surrogacy, or foster placement.
• Life at Exa: Lunch and dinner served daily, an office stocked with snacks, coffee, and health supplements, fresh bread from a local bakery every morning, weekly milk tea deliveries, monthly picnics, and parties to celebrate the wins (and each other).
• Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas for exceptional candidates and welcome applicants from all backgrounds and locations.
