• Provide executive counsel.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior executives on communications strategy.

Requirements

• A superlative writer with a proven ability to create clear, compelling narratives around complex, high-stakes topics.
• Excellent judgment in ambiguous, high-pressure situations, with the ability to operate with significant autonomy and make consequential decisions quickly.
• Fluency in the tech media landscape—including an existing network of relationships with reporters, editors, and influencers in tech policy and business press.
• Experience collaborating closely with policy, legal, and senior executive stakeholders.
• Creative flair and an aversion to the hackneyed and obvious, and a high bar for what a communications program achieves.
• An entrepreneurial streak—someone who is energized by the opportunity to build, not just manage.

Qualifications

• Preferred qualifications include demonstrated ability to design and execute proactive communications campaigns, building something from scratch, and a feel for independent media.
