Responsibilities

• Who we are. Define the identity of Swarm Aero from the ground up: what we stand for, how we sound, how we look, and why anyone should care. When someone asks "what does Swarm do?", the answer everyone gives will be the one you wrote.
• How we tell it. Turn complex autonomy and C2 technology into a story that lands with a general, a program manager, a reporter, an investor, and a senior engineer, without watering it down for any of them.
• Internal comms. Make sure everyone inside Swarm knows where we're going, why it matters, and what just happened. All-hands narratives, leadership messages, milestone moments, and the culture that holds a fast-growing team together. A company that understands its own story tells it better outside.
• The big moments. Own launches, program wins, funding announcements, partnerships, and flight, delivery, and customer milestones. Make each one land.
• Our presence in defense. Own our footprint at AUSA, Modern Day Marine, Sea-Air-Space, SOF Week, and the rooms where requirements get shaped. Be the booth, the panel, and the name people remember.
• Press and platform. Build relationships with defense and tech media, prep leadership for stages and interviews, and manage agency partners who make us better.
• Employer brand. Partner with our recruiting team to make Swarm the place the best engineers and operators in the country want to be.
• The function itself. Tools, budget, vendors, process, and your next hire. You build it your way.
