Job description

This role asks for someone to build and run an external communications program for a company and its affiliated law firm, covering media relations, executive and partner messaging, public affairs, and reputation management. A strong candidate brings many years of hands on PR leadership, a record of advising founders and senior partners, and sharp editorial judgment for speeches, essays, op-eds, and social content. The person also needs to turn technical, legal, and regulatory material into clear public narratives and to set up reliable processes for approvals and risk.

How it fits the AI era

The company sells AI agents that carry legal and regulatory rules, so the communications work sits right where AI, law, and policy meet. AI speeds up drafting, research, and monitoring of coverage, but the core of the job stays human: judgment on sensitive claims, protecting client confidentiality, and earning trust with reporters and partners. The role helps explain a new kind of legal work to audiences who are still forming their views.

How it builds AI experience

The posting expects everyone to use AI daily and to show concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes in interviews. A candidate can build this by using AI for media monitoring, first drafts of briefings and talking points, and tracking how the company and its law firm are described in public. Practicing on legal and regulatory topics, and being able to explain what was kept human, would fit what the company does.

Worth showing

• Executive and partner advising
• Media relations track record
• Ghostwriting op-eds and speeches
• Legal or regulatory storytelling
• Communications process building
