Responsibilities

• Serve as a first-draft writer for internal CEO memos, all-hands messaging, leadership updates, executive remarks, talking points, Q&A, and briefing materials.
• Draft press releases and announcement materials. Own the release calendar, assemble review packets, and coordinate routing across Communications, Legal, Investor Relations, Product, and other partners.
• Build and maintain segmented media lists, research reporters and outlets, draft and send targeted pitches with approval, and help prepare executives for media engagements.
• Ghostwrite bylined articles and other executive content in the voice and point of view of the leader whose name appears on the work.
• Own the executive awards and speaking pipeline, from opportunity research through nomination drafting and submission.
• Maintain executive bios, corporate boilerplate, fact sheets, proof points, and the corporate messaging house, with regular accuracy reviews.
• Track earned coverage and message pull-through, and apply the findings to future releases, pitches, and executive materials.
• Use AI tools thoughtfully to improve research, drafting, editing, and variant generation, while staying fully accountable for accuracy, confidentiality, judgment, and voice. Help document workflows the team can reuse.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, English, Political Science, Marketing, or a closely related field, completed by your start date.
• Up to one year of professional communications experience. Internships, agency work, newsroom roles, student agencies, campus publications, and research centers all count.
• A portfolio of strong writing. Bylines, journalism, agency work, executive-style writing, press materials, campaign work, or independent publication may all qualify.
• Demonstrated ability to write in a voice other than your own and move between formats without losing clarity.
• Exceptional attention to factual accuracy, grammar, audience, and deadlines.
• The maturity and discretion to handle pre-announcement, personnel, financial, and executive information.
• Familiarity with AI writing and research tools, with a point of view on where they help and where they fall short.
