Job description

Attio is the CRM for agentic revenue. Designed for the most ambitious go-to-market teams, it gives companies the power to understand every customer, automate at scale, and build their go-to-market motion exactly as they need. We've raised $116M from some of the world's best investors: GV (Google Ventures), Redpoint, Balderton, Point Nine, and 01A.

We hire builders who thrive on complex technical challenges, hold themselves to a high bar, and genuinely care about delighting the people who use what they build. The team here brings sharp judgement, real craft, and the drive to do exceptional work. We're obsessed about the details and energized by the frontier.

If you want to do the best work of your career, this is the right place.

About the role

Our Marketing team shapes how the world sees and experiences Attio. We think strategically, move fast, and obsess over quality — from acquisition to brand to product marketing. We experiment constantly, craft clear narratives, and focus relentlessly on what drives growth.

CRM is entering a new era. AI is changing how companies go to market, and Attio is building the platform at the centre of that shift.

We’re looking for a Communications Lead to shape how Attio tells that story — defining the narratives, ideas, and perspectives that build our position as the category evolves.

Your primary focus will be shaping Attio’s narrative and building the communications strategy that brings it to life — across our own channels and through the people and platforms that influence how Attio is understood.

You’ll work across the company to uncover what’s interesting, turn complex ideas into compelling stories, and build a communications engine that grows Attio’s influence alongside the business.

The ideal candidate is an exceptional storyteller with strong editorial instincts, a deep understanding of technology and culture, and the ambition to help define how a new generation thinks about CRM.

What you’ll do

Narrative & positioning: Own Attio’s company narrative and the stories, ideas, and perspectives we want to be known for.

Content: Turn our narrative into distinctive content and programs across Attio’s owned channels.

Founder & executive communications: Shape the voices and external presence of our founders and leadership team across social, content, media, and events.

PR & earned media: Build relationships with journalists and media, creating opportunities for others to tell Attio’s story.

Employee & internal comms: Help our team understand and tell Attio’s story through internal communications, employer brand, and employee advocacy.

Company announcements: Lead communications for major moments including fundraising, company news, launches, and other key milestones.

What you’ll bring

Communications experience: 7+ years across communications, content, editorial, PR, or brand, ideally within high-growth startups.

Exceptional storytelling: You can turn complex ideas into simple, distinctive, and compelling narratives.

Editorial judgement: You have strong instincts for what makes a great story, what audiences will care about, and where it should be told.

Executive partnership: You’re comfortable working directly with founders and senior leaders to shape their voice and external presence.

Media understanding: You understand the modern communications landscape across press, social, creators, podcasts, events, and emerging channels.

Strategic judgement: You can move between long-term narrative building and high-stakes, fast-moving communications with confidence.

Builder mindset: You’re comfortable creating the strategy and doing the work — from developing the narrative to writing the final copy.

Eye for quality: You hold a high bar for everything Attio puts into the world and know what great communications looks like.
