Job description

Paris HQ – Paris based role with flexible working arrangements, open to full remote

About Current AI

Current Al is a first-of-its-kind global public-private partnership that brings together governments, foundations, and the private sector to build public interest AI at scale. Launched at the AI Action Summit in Paris in 2025, the organisation has already raised hundreds of millions through partnerships with the French government, AI Collaborative, and other leading governments, philanthropic, and industry partners.

Role Overview

As Communications Manager, you will own Current AI’s channels and the content that runs through them: our websites, newsletters and social media, collateral for our events and launches, and the kits we give contributors to share. Reporting to the VP Movement, you will set our channel strategy, run the content calendar, write most of what we publish and manage the contractors who help produce it. As part of the Movement team, you’ll show that a public alternative in AI already exists, what it looks like in practice, and how people can join, contribute to and use it.

What you’ll do

The Communications Manager will drive the hands‑on execution of Current AI’s communications initiatives.

Content Creation & Editorial Operations

• Draft, edit, and produce content across formats: blogs, newsletters, social media posts, website copy, and other materials such as booklets.
• Own the content calendar: take in requests from across the team, set priorities, and run review and sign‑off so content ships on time.
• Plan and produce collateral for events and launches, from print materials with our production designer to on‑site social, photo and video, and post‑event recaps.
• Work with the Programme team to turn project milestones into stories for our channels, such as blog posts, case studies and newsletter features.
• Build the comms kits and updates that help AI Potluck contributors share our work on their own channels.
• Work with our Chief of Staff, PR agency and product marketing so launches, stories and assets run from one plan across owned and earned channels.
• Manage external contractors to ensure high‑quality, timely delivery of writing, translation, design and media production.

Digital Presence & Channel Strategy

• Manage Current AI’s owned digital channels, including content on the Current AI and AI Potluck websites and our social media accounts.
• Run the AI Potluck and Current AI newsletters end to end, including list management and consent under GDPR.
• Own reporting on audience growth, engagement and sign‑ups, including the tracking that ties posts to launch and event goals.
• Keep the Current AI and AI Potluck brands distinct and consistent across every channel and contractor.

Internal Communications

• Brief the team before launches and events with key messages and ready‑to‑share posts.

What we’re looking for

Essential Qualifications

• 4–6 years of hands‑on communications or digital content experience in mission‑driven, tech, or international policy settings.
• Demonstrated experience developing content calendars, managing digital channels, and writing across short‑and‑long‑form formats.
• Exceptional English writing and editing skills with high attention to detail.
• Experience working with external agencies, design partners, and media tools.
• Strong project management skills with proven ability to deliver under tight timelines in a fast‑paced environment.
• Proven experience explaining how open source or AI technology works to a general audience in a way technical builders still trust.
• A writer first. You use AI to research, summarize and pull materials together, but the first draft and the final edit are yours.

Nice-to-haves

• Proficiency in French.
• Experience in AI, tech policy, open source, or global public‑private partnerships.
• Basic visual design (Canva/Figma) or multimedia production skills.

Character traits

We’re looking for people who:

1. Put the mission before personal credit and work well in low‑ego, highly collaborative teams
2. Exercise good judgment and integrity, including knowing when to push back or say no
3. Enjoy building from scratch and making progress with imperfect information
4. Have a bias to action, shipping useful things and helping others do the same
5. Are comfortable moving between strategy and hands‑on execution as needed
6. Work effectively across cultures, time zones, and disciplines
7. Believe AI can serve the public interest - and are willing to do the practical, hands‑on work to make that true.

The offer

We’re committed to ensuring that team members are supported, well‑compensated, and able to thrive.

Expected Salary Range for Paris: €70,000–€85,000 depending on experience and adjusted based on location.
