Job description

Overview

We’re not just building breakthrough sensing technology; we’re defining an entirely new category, one that is transforming how people live, stay safe, and receive care.

At Pontosense, we create cutting-edge wireless radar sensors so precise they can detect something as subtle as a heartbeat — completely contact-free. Our technology is 10,000x more accurate than anything else on the market, enabling life-saving applications in smart homes, vehicles, and healthcare environments. This isn’t future-state, this is now. With manufacturing capacity of over 700,000 units per month and global partnerships in motion, we’re scaling rapidly. And we’re just getting started.

Our founders hold over 500 patents and have built companies valued at over $5 billion, powering the tech inside your iPhone, Starlink, Meta VR, and more. Now, we’re channeling that expertise into building a legacy brand that will define the future of AgeTech, Automotive, and Wellness Tech.

Breakthrough technology deserves a narrative that’s just as compelling. That’s where you come in.

What We Need

These are the core responsibilities you’ll take on from day one. Your baseline for success in this role.

• Execute our brand and communications strategy across all platforms
• Maintain consistent, on-brand messaging across social media, our website, and internal channels
• Craft and edit a wide range of content including press releases, company updates, and thought leadership
• Manage PR operations: develop media pitches, coordinate outreach, and handle award submissions
• Support internal communications, from employee updates to executive messaging
• Help plan and manage our presence at events and conferences, including booth setup and logistics
• Monitor what’s being said about us online to protect and strengthen our reputation

What Would Make Us Really Excited

These are the advanced skills and strategic contributions that will elevate your impact

• Elevate our brand voice, tone, and positioning across all touchpoints
• Turn cutting-edge technology into stories that stick
• Create marketing assets that create real momentum
• Use performance data to guide and improve future content strategies
• Contribute to crisis communications planning and long-term reputation strategy
• Bring a brand-as-growth mindset, viewing communications as a driver of business value, not just a support function

You’ll do well if you:

• 3–5 years of experience in brand, communications, or PR, with a proven ability to make an impact
• A talent for turning complex technical ideas into clear and engaging content
• A strategic mindset combined with hands-on execution — you think big and move fast.
• Exceptional skills in writing, storytelling, and content creation across formats and platforms
• The ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and collaborators while consistently delivering on time
• A strong background in media relations, from crafting compelling pitches to securing meaningful coverage.
• Confidence using tools like Canva, Figma, or similar to support visual storytelling
• A data-informed approach, using performance insights to refine and strengthen your work
• The ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments — you are proactive, resourceful, and always looking to raise the bar

It’s not you, it’s us – you won’t fit in if you:

• Prefer to stick to strategy and avoid the hands-on work
• Wait for direction instead of taking initiative
• View branding as surface-level rather than a strategic business function

We believe everyone is capable. Finding the right fit between the company, the role, and the culture is key to your happiness and success.

Who you’ll work with:

You’ll work directly with our CEO, Alex, turning big ideas into clear, powerful messages. This is your chance to fast-track your growth and step confidently into a leadership role as we scale.

Company advantages:

• Join an innovative, fast-growing technology company disrupting the industry.
• Be part of a small, tight-knit team where creativity, risk-taking, and impact are encouraged.
• Competitive salary and benefits, including comprehensive health benefits, 15 days of vacation, and a hybrid work environment.
• Excellent mentorship and growth opportunities within the company.

Our Commitment:

At Pontosense, we are committed to creating a workplace that is inclusive and accessible to all. We value diversity and believe that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to succeed.

If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation during the hiring process, please let us know. We will work with you to make the necessary accommodations to ensure a fair and positive experience for all applicants.

We strive to provide accessible communication and technology for our employees and customers and always look for ways to improve. If you have any feedback or suggestions on how we can improve accessibility in our workplace, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcome candidates from all backgrounds to apply for open positions at our company.
