Job summary

Reflection AI in Washington DC is seeking a senior communications and policy leader to shape public narratives around open-source AI. You will drive strategic campaigns, build relationships with policy press, Hill staff, and external stakeholders, and coordinate cross-functional teams to manage media coverage, briefings, and events.

The role requires 7+ years in strategic communications or public affairs, with a track record in tech policy.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in strategic communication, reputation management or public affairs.
• Experience driving policy-focused media campaigns and supporting policy, regulatory, or reputational issues, ideally in technology.
• Established relationships with technology, national security, and policy press, and fluency in the current media and social landscape.
• Experience working alongside government affairs, legal, or technical teams on sensitive or fast-moving issues.
• Sharp written and verbal communicator who can distill a complex AI policy issue into a two-minute pitch or a crisp one-pager.
• Exceptional judgement and comfortability working in a fast-moving, startup environment where you're building the playbook, not inheriting one.
• Live our culture and values: mission above ego, trust built through truth, extreme ownership and collaboration.

• Shape the industry news and policy debates that most directly affect Reflection through proactive campaigns and rapid-response communications.
• Build relationships with policy press, Hill staff, and third-party stakeholders to advance Reflection's reputation and priorities.
• Partner with cross-functional teams across research, legal, international relations and policy to manage press coverage, briefings, events, and more.
• Draft and edit blog posts, FAQs, talking points, and video scripts that make Reflection's mission and technical work accessible to non-technical audiences.

• Represent Reflection AI at D.C. and global policy events
