Job description

150Bond provides strategic communications counsel to C-level executives at high-growth tech startups, top-tier VCs, and Fortune 500s - across AI, fintech, energy and infrastructure, sustainability, web3, venture, and B2B enterprise.

We're a small team by design: you'll report directly to the managing partners.

The role

You'll run point on a large, high-visibility client account with minimal supervision - owning day-to-day client management, shaping proactive media and storytelling opportunities, and writing to a standard sharp enough to go in front of investors, policymakers, or top-tier press without heavy editing. You'll also play a role in growing the firm: identifying and pursuing new business alongside the managing partners.

Must-haves

• 8-10 years minimum of progressive experience in communications, having occupied a role from Director, VP upwards.
• Senior, largely autonomous account management on a large, complex client, with the judgment to triage, delegate, and keep several workstreams moving without dropping anything
• A fascination with media and storytelling
• An established network of top-tier and trade reporter relationships
• Elite writing and editorial judgment: able to write or tighten briefing notes, analysis, and reports to a standard that can go straight to investors, press, or policy contacts
• Very close attention to detail - non-negotiable
• Gravitas and stakeholder command, with the ability to guide thinking and shape outcomes across multiple stakeholders rather than just execute on instruction
• Fluency in the account's world (the AI landscape, or investor and policy perspectives) so you can spot and shape proactive opportunities, not just react to them
• Communications planning expertise: the ability to sign off on a smart, detailed, creative comms plan before it goes to a client
• Excellent team management and motivation skills: the ability to motivate your team, while keeping work to an extremely high standard.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience handling tricky or sensitive media queries
• Sector-specific relationships, whether AI reporters and influencers or energy and infrastructure reporters
• A strong grasp of new and social media dynamics

What good looks like in the first 90 days

Clients respect and trust you. Full ownership of client management with nothing dropped across several fast-moving workstreams at once, plus proactively project-managing at least one major announcement or media moment rather than just keeping the trains running.

Benefits and perks

• Summer Fridays, plus a month of flexible work-from-anywhere in August
• Hybrid working the rest of the year
• Moving Day - a day off when you move
• Matched Pension, healthcare, and phone
• Personal budget for home office, education, wellness, or gym
• In-house fireside speaker series with authors, journalists, and industry leaders
• Team offsites, appreciation lunches, and happy hours

Compensation: €85-180k base salary, plus bonus and commission.

Placement within the range depends on experience.
