Job description

A Head of Comms typically sets the message for a company and gets it into the right hands across press, social and newer channels. A strong candidate brings a clear writing voice, existing media relationships, and the judgment to decide which announcements matter and when. For a platform serving creators and businesses with payments and a marketplace, that means making a two sided product easy for outsiders to understand.

How it fits the AI era

AI makes drafting and distributing announcements faster, so the volume of content rises and the bar for what gets attention goes up. The human work is choosing the story, building trust with journalists and creators, and handling the moments when a message goes wrong. Judgment and relationships carry more weight than output.

How it builds AI experience

This role offers practice using AI to monitor coverage, draft variants of announcements and test which framing lands across channels. Building that skill means learning to brief AI tools with the company's own voice and facts, then checking every claim before it ships. Experience with creator and marketplace audiences adds a useful edge.

Worth showing

• Media relations track record
• Clear writing and editing
• Crisis communication experience
• Creator and social fluency
