• Execute consistent messaging across employee channels (intranet, newsletters, all-hands meetings, video, etc.).
• Support the VP in preparing speeches, talking points, op-eds, executive briefings, and interview preparation materials for high-profile opportunities, including research on media outlets, reporters, audiences, likely questions, and relevant issues so executives are well prepared for interviews.
• Support development and distribution of press releases, bylined articles, media responses, media monitoring, and analysis of coverage quality, sentiment, message penetration, competitive narratives, and emerging issues.
• Own media database with key reporter and outlet profiles.
• Execute the content creation and posting across Gevo’s corporate websites and social media.
• Own content ownership, approval workflows, publishing standards, and review cadences to keep digital content current, consistent, and compliant.

Requirements

• A communications and PR professional with 8–10+ years of experience across corporate communications, media relations, internal communications, and marketing.
• Experience driving communications, marketing, and PR for a publicly traded company. You know how earnings cycles, disclosure requirements, and legal and IR review shape what gets said, when it gets said, and by whom.
• Background and industry knowledge in low-carbon fuels, renewables, agriculture, petrochemicals, or conventional energy & power is highly preferred. You can communicate with confidence about the industry and its policy landscape.
• A self-starter who works well in an agile, fast-moving environment and is comfortable wearing multiple hats. You are just as comfortable rolling your sleeves owning day-to-day tasks, as you are getting involved in high-level strategy.
• A strong writer and editor who adapts easily across formats, from press releases, bylines, and op-eds to executive talking points, social posts, newsletters, and web copy.
• Experienced in media relations, with established reporter relationships or the ability to build them quickly, and a working knowledge of media monitoring and coverage analysis – ideally with relevant industry publications.
• Digitally fluent, with hands-on experience managing corporate websites and social channels. HubSpot and Canva experience are preferred. You use analytics to measure what works and adjust.
• You do not need to be a designer, but you know enough about design to give clear creative direction, judge quality, and manage outsourced agency and freelance design work to deliver on brand, on time, and on budget.
• Calm and sound under pressure. You’ve supported issues and crisis communications and know when to escalate, how to coordinate with legal and functional owners, and how to protect the company’s reputation.
• Highly organized. You can manage several priorities at once, including the communications calendar, content archive, event logistics, and post-event follow-up with sales and commercial teams.
