More about our team

Everything we do on the communications team is driven by business impact. We work collaboratively and cross-functionally but every project has one owner who is empowered as the key decision maker. We have a distributed team united by our shared goals. We determine success metrics up front and restlessly drive towards them. We strive for transparency and awareness in everything we do, but we are comfortable not knowing the details of everything. We embrace our “open company, no bullshit” value and have the grit to tell it like it is. We're good listeners. We move really fast. We take risks and fail (which is OK!). We take away vital lessons to ensure we don't repeat the same mistakes again. We play as a team.

Qualifications

More about you:

On your first day, we'd love you to have:

  • Minimum of 8+ years of communications experience with B2B enterprise technology either in-house or at an agency.

  • Ability to build and run communications programs, independently.

  • Ability to manage budgets and agencies.

  • Strong relationships with business and technology journalists and influencers.

  • Top-notch decision-making skills: ability to prioritize among competing opportunities and articulate the rationale behind decisions.

  • A knack for knowing what will interest media and how to shape messaging for different audiences.

  • Great writing skills, with a love for penning messaging platforms, pitches, blogs, and executive speaking points.

  • Experience in influencing key decision-makers on communications programs.
