Job Description
Responsibilities
- Own Archer’s social media strategy and publishing calendar across all brand channels, with accountability for content quality, consistency, and audience growth.
- Lead executive thought leadership content for Archer’s senior leadership team, including platform development, social copy, and supporting long-form content.
- Collaborate with in-house content producers and designers to concept and brief social-first content, video, stills, motion, and written, that reflects Archer’s brand and technical credibility.
- Drive community management and audience engagement across channels, developing the voice and tone playbooks that keep Archer’s presence consistent at scale.
- Partner with Communications, Marketing, and Product teams to plan and execute social coverage around major company milestones, press moments, product launches, and industry events.

Requirements

- Exceptional writing skills. You can write in multiple voices, translate dense technical material into compelling content, and adapt tone across platforms without losing substance.
- Experience working within or alongside a PR/communications function, with strong instincts for how social and earned media reinforce each other.
- Proven ability to collaborate with production teams (video, design, motion) as a creative brief writer and project partner, not just a publisher.
- Comfortable operating in a high-velocity environment with shifting priorities, tight timelines, and high visibility.
- Willingness to travel for key events, including international air shows and industry conferences (approximately 10-20% travel).
- Experience in aerospace, defense, deep tech, or advanced hardware is a strong advantage.
- Familiarity with eVTOL, autonomy, or sustainable aviation technology is a plus.
- A passion for innovation, culture and content and a keen interest in shaping the future of urban transportation.
Preferred
- An ideal candidate for this role would be a well-organized, detail-oriented planner and creative that can communicate across teams and partners to develop world-class content and who is ingrained in culture and deep tech trends.
