Tech Communications Lead

The company is building the financial and banking* products founders actually want: one that’s fast, intuitive, and crafted to help them do more with their money. As AI changes how companies are built and run, we’re rethinking what the company can do for the people running them. We’re looking for a Tech Communications Lead to tell that story and to make the company the company founders, builders, and the broader tech world think of when it comes to AI and innovation in finance and banking. This includes:

• Shaping and owning the company’s technology and innovation narrative, including how we’re building AI that helps founders and entrepreneurs run better

• Partner with our co-founder and senior product and AI leaders to bring that story to market through integrated comms: podcasts, events, content, social, press, and more

In this role, you will report to our Head of Comms and own how the world understands the company’s approach to technology and AI. You’ll turn what our product and AI teams are building into stories that resonate with customers, prospects, future teammates, and investors, and you’ll put our leaders in the rooms and conversations that matter. You’ll join a creative, scrappy, and highly collaborative comms team where ideas move fast and you’ll have real ownership from day one. If you love sitting at the intersection of product, storytelling, and the startup ecosystem, and want to build something rather than maintain it, this role is for you.

• Measure what’s working and use those insights to sharpen strategy over time

• Use AI tools to scale the team’s output and experiment with new formats, workflows, and ways of reaching our audiences

You should

• Be able to take technical concepts like AI products and infrastructure and make them clear, human, and exciting without losing accuracy
