Description

We are seeking a Director of External Communications to lead the continued evolution of our US external communications program. As a key member of our global communications team, you will help shape a modern, data and AI-powered communications organization with a clear bias towards action and the ability to drive results that shape perception in a noisy environment.

You will land stories around our ongoing product innovation, corporate initiatives, and tie us into relevant trending industry topics. This role will cut across traditional and new media channels, and the candidate must be well-versed in both.

Key responsibilities include driving the strategy and execution of our U.S. public relations program, owning our media relations strategy across the full spectrum of today's influential platforms, leading, mentoring, and developing a high-performing team of PR professionals and managing our external agency partners.

The ideal candidate will have 15+ years of experience in public relations or communications, with significant in-house experience at a B2B technology company preferred. They will be a strategic PR leader, team builder, exceptional executive presence, cross-functional connector, media authority across the modern landscape, strategic storyteller, AI-curious operator, and global mindset.
