Head of Brand & Communications

Responsibilities

• Define and strengthen Tapestry's narrative and positioning as we establish a new category at the intersection of AI, software, and the electric grid.
• Build Tapestry's reputation, influence, and credibility as a trusted industry authority directly and efficiently, leveraging modern communication channels rather than reflexively hiring a large agency.
• Deeply understand how ideas and information travel today. Design and execute modern communication strategies that span social platforms, creator networks, podcasts, newsletters, niche communities, and executive voice, alongside traditional media relations.
• Translate complex technology into compelling stories by partnering with Product, Engineering, and Commercial teams to make sophisticated technical concepts clear, credible, and relevant to customers and external stakeholders.
• Serve as a strategic thought-partner and communications advisor to the CEO and leadership team, shaping executive positioning, thought leadership, key company narratives, and communications during high-impact moments.
• Strengthen Tapestry's connection with employees by building clear internal communication rhythms that connect teams to our mission, strategy, priorities, and progress.
• Lead corporate and stakeholder communications, partnering with Alphabet and company leadership to clearly articulate Tapestry's progress, strategy, differentiation, and business impact.
• Protect and strengthen Tapestry's reputation by developing thoughtful communications strategies for complex issues involving technology, data privacy, security, regulation, and other high-stakes matters.

• Exceptional Writing & Storytelling: A high bar for clarity, accuracy, and credibility, with the ability to turn complex technical details into a compelling story.
• Executive Advisory Experience: Demonstrated success serving as a trusted advisor to a CEO or senior executive team, particularly in positioning them for high-stakes moments and navigating complex communications challenges.
• A Resourceful & Agency-Light Approach: Ability to build broad influence and credibility organically and creatively, without immediately relying on large, expensive agency support.
