Responsibilities

• Market perception: Own how Scribe is perceived by our core audiences: enterprise buyers, investors, and top talent. You'll shape the narrative, track how it's landing, continually refine it.
• Speaking strategy: Manage the full lifecycle of executive and brand opportunities: evaluate inbound speaking invitations and proactively identify opportunities for founders, exec team, and Scribe to show up in the right rooms. You'll develop abstracts and prepare spokespeople. You know not every stage is worth the time, and you'll have a clear framework for determining which ones are.
• PR & agency management: Own Scribe's external communications strategy and manage our PR agency relationship. You set the narrative, define the audience, and build a systematic approach to news jacking, so we're never leaving a relevant moment on the table. Every announcement has a purpose; you define it, amplify it, and measure against it.
• Crisis response playbooks: Develop and maintain playbooks for how Scribe responds to reputational moments, news cycles, and potential crises.
• Founder brand: Partner closely with our CEO to scale her platform as a founder and thought leader, developing ideas, drafting and editing posts, and helping her show up consistently and authentically across LinkedIn, X, and media appearances. Over time, this expands to other members of the founding and executive team.
• Scribe thought leadership: Ensure every public appearance (on stage, in front of a camera, or in the press) reflects the brand we're building and advances the story we're telling in the market.

Requirements

• Education: BA/BS degree
• With 6-8+ years of professional experience spanning editorial, communications, and/or brand. You've done enough of both to know how they inform each other. We care more about the quality of your instincts than the linearity of your path. A journalism background that moved into marketing is just as interesting to us as a traditional comms path
• Exceptional writer across formats and audiences. You can move fluently between strategic thinking and hands-on writing, and are comfortable producing polished work yourself (a press release, a LinkedIn or X post, a founder talking points doc, compelling long-form thought leadership articles, or a crisis statement)
• An editorial sensibility with the ability to assess the fidelity of a story, know when there's a "there there," and get it to the right level of substance before it goes anywhere
• A clear framework for measuring communications impact beyond vanity metrics, and experience developing a strong distribution strategy
• Comfortable working directly with founders to develop and refine their public voice
• Deep understanding of what moves enterprise buyers, investors, and top talent, and how to craft a story that reaches each one differently
• Startup experience. You've operated with lean resources and made it work

Preferred

• Experience at a high-growth tech company through a significant inflection point (fundraise, IPO, major product launch)
• Exposure to analyst relations. You understand what that audience needs and how to speak to it
• A background in writing, literature, or history. We take good writing seriously here
