Head of Public Relations

Responsibilities

• Own Range's external narrative end to end — build the message house, the fact base, and the boilerplate that everyone from Sales to Recruiting works from.
• Build and personally carry relationships with the reporters covering fintech, wealth management, AI, and personal finance, and turn them into sustained coverage that does not depend on funding announcements.
• Run announcement strategy for funding, product, partnership, and people news — including embargoes, exclusives, and the lead time that lets Compliance review real work rather than a fire drill.
• Stand up our crisis and issues management capability: severity tiers, named owners, pre-cleared holding statements, escalation paths, and tabletop exercises with leadership.
• Partner with Compliance and Legal to build a communications review standard that is fast enough to use and rigorous enough for an SEC-registered investment adviser — including how we substantiate the claims we make about AI and performance.
• Prepare and protect our spokespeople: media training, briefing documents, and a bench deep enough that the founders are not the only voice.
• Own the agency relationship, budget, and performance, and build the measurement — share of voice, message pull-through, coverage quality — that tells leadership whether any of it is working.

Requirements

• 12+ years in communications or public relations, with meaningful in-house time at a high-growth company; experience in financial services, fintech, or another regulated, high-scrutiny category.
• A track record of landing sustained tier-one and trade coverage through relationships you built yourself, not only through an agency.
• Real crisis experience — you have been the person writing the statement while the story was moving, and you can talk honestly about what you learned.
• Working fluency in the regulatory constraints on financial communications (SEC marketing rule, claims substantiation, testimonial and performance rules) and the judgment to find the compliant version of a good story.
• Credibility with founders and executives, including the standing to push back — and the track record that earns it.
• A builder's instinct. You are comfortable as a team of one with agency support in year one, writing the plan and the press release yourself.
• Genuine fluency in AI and technology. Our category is being written about constantly, and reporters will know within one call whether you understand what we actually built.
