Job description

About us

Sierra is the leading platform for customer-facing AI agents, working with many of the world's biggest brands — including The GAP, Rocket Mortgage, SoFi, Sutter Health, and SoftBank — to transform how they serve customers and grow their businesses. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices across North America, Europe, and Asia.

We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and a commitment to balancing Family along the way. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do.

Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google's earliest product managers and co-creator of Google Maps. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google’s AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace.

What you'll do:

• Set the standard for great comms in a hyper growth, founder-led company.

• Work cross functionally to raise awareness of Sierra externally.

• Maintain overall responsibility for social media, press, public speaking — anything that can organically raise awareness of who we are, and what we do.

• Be a key part of the Marcomms team — pitching in as needed.

What you'll bring:

• Entrepreneurial and scrappy — you like to try new things, and you lean into risk.

• A problem solver — you roll up your sleeves and solve what’s thrown at you.

• Fast and calm — you move quickly and are poised under pressure.

• Strong execution — you deliver what you promise, to a high standard.

• Creative — you can set the standard for what drives conversation in enterprise PR.

• Excellent communicator — you have strong written and verbal communications.

• Great team player — you’re low ego and enjoy working with people at every level. You are good at building and maintaining relationships, internally and externally.

• Understanding of the press and social media — either from working at a company, in government or as a journalist.

• Good judgement and professionalism — you can navigate ambiguity and can be trusted with sensitive or confidential initiatives.

• Experience with the press and social media — from business, government or another institution.

• Fluent in English — you could be based in Paris or Madrid or London but you must be fluent in spoken and written English.

Even better...

• Proven track record working in a fast paced tech company

• Knowledge of different European media markets (UK, France, Spain, Germany)

Our values

• Trust: We build trust with our customers with our accountability, empathy, quality, and responsiveness. We build trust in AI by making it more accessible, safe, and useful. We build trust with each other by showing up for each other professionally and personally, creating an environment that enables all of us to do our best work.

• Customer Obsession: We deeply understand our customers’ business goals and relentlessly focus on driving outcomes, not just technical milestones. Everyone at the company knows and spends time with our customers. When our customer is having an issue, we drop everything and fix it.

• Craftsmanship: We get the details right, from the words on the page to the system architecture. We have good taste. When we notice something isn’t right, we take the time to fix it. We are proud of the products we produce. We continuously self-reflect to continuously self-improve.

• Intensity: We know we don’t have the luxury of patience. We play to win. We care about our product being the best, and when it isn’t, we fix it. When we fail, we talk about it openly and without blame so we succeed the next time.

• Family: We know that balance and intensity are compatible, and we model it in our actions and processes. We are the best technology company for parents. We support and respect each other and celebrate each other’s personal and professional achievements.

• Flexible (unlimited) paid time off
