Job description

Nscale is the GPU cloud engineered for AI. We provide cost-effective, high-performance infrastructure for AI start-ups and large enterprise customers. Nscale enables AI-focused companies to achieve superior results by reducing the complexity of AI development. Our GPU cloud bolsters technical capabilities and directly supports strategic business outcomes, including cost management, rapid innovation, and environmental responsibility.

We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you’ll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. If you join our team, you’ll be contributing to building the technology that powers the future.

About the Role

We’re looking for a director or manager to support our issues and policy comms functions and lead in the execution across a wide range of matters facing the company. You will define and protect Nscale’s reputation, address ad hoc communications needs, tell specific company stories, amplify our story in the market, and lead high-impact communications that build trust with governments, industry leaders, investors, and the public.

You will serve as an early member of a growing communications team, helping it establish processes as the company expands its own operations. You will help shape how we present ourselves in the world, from major product announcements and geopolitical narratives to crisis response and cultural moments.

Qualifications

• 4-10 years of experience in communications, public relations, or public affairs, ideally with a strong track record in technology company environments.
• Proven success shaping external narratives and positioning companies for high-stakes visibility, industry leadership, and long-term market confidence.
• Experience developing reactive and proactive communication strategies that engage investor audiences, analysts, and financial media with clarity and credibility.
• Strong executive presence and experience working closely with C-level leaders on public and investor communications.
• Excellent writing and storytelling skills with the ability to synthesise complexity into compelling, strategic narratives.
• A track record of operating effectively in fast-paced, highly regulated, or geopolitically sensitive environments.
• Deep understanding of media relations, reputation management, and strategic messaging across a global landscape.
• Strong project management skills and ability to manage cross-functional stakeholders with a high degree of precision and discretion.
• Experience scaling communications functions and leading through periods of transformation, external scrutiny, or market entry.
• Background in AI, infrastructure, cloud, technology, or policy is a plus.

Ways to Stand Out

• Experience leading communications through high-visibility capital events, international expansion, or strategic partnerships.
• Background in public sector or enterprise-focused tech communications.
• Deep understanding of the European and North American tech, policy, or investor landscape.
• A passion for using narrative to advance innovation in the service of sovereignty, security, and global resilience.

At Nscale, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace. We believe that a variety of perspectives enriches our work environment, and we encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, experiences, and abilities. We strongly encourage applications from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
