This is a highly strategic and hands-on leadership role for a seasoned communicator and brand builder who can connect the dots between what we do, why we do it, and how it feels to be part of it. You’ll own our global brand narrative, shaping how Apryse shows up in the market, in the media, at events, and inside our own walls. You’ll be responsible for ensuring our story is not only heard, but felt by customers, partners, and employees alike.

• Ensure brand consistency and excellence across all channels, creative assets, and global touchpoints.
• Partner with design, product, and growth teams to bring the brand to life through every experience.
• External Communications

• Lead internal communications to ensure our teams are informed, inspired, and engaged knowing what we’re building and celebrating how far we’ve come.
• Create internal brand advocates who live and breathe the Apryse story every day.
• Infuse a sense of fun and connection into how we communicate.
• Cross-Functional Impact
• Partner closely with executives and department heads to align messaging and ensure brand authenticity from the inside out.
• Collaborate with HR and Talent teams on employer brand and employee engagement initiatives.
• Manage external agencies, PR partners, and creative vendors to deliver world-class brand and communication programs.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in brand strategy, communications, or integrated marketing leadership (preferably in B2B tech or SaaS).
• Proven success building and elevating global brands ideally in high-growth or category-defining environments.
• Deep experience leading PR, content, and integrated storytelling programs that drive awareness and affinity.
• A track record of building and motivating high-performing teams.
• A natural storyteller who can inspire action with words, visuals, and experiences.
• Comfortable moving between strategy and execution — rolling up your sleeves when needed.
• Passionate about technology, innovation, and the power of clear communication to drive culture and growth.

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience & qualifications.
• Generous paid time Off (PTO) is offered to support the ability to rest and recharge.
• A great team environment and resources, supporting you to do the best work of your life and providing unlimited career growth potential.
• Highly autonomous environment.
• Excellent work-life balance.
• Diverse and inclusive workplace where we all learn from each other.
