Jobbeschreibung

Senior Manager, Public Relations & Communications

This is a hands-on communications job for someone who writes, pitches and lands stories personally rather than managing an agency. The role asks for a person who can turn technical grid simulation work and customer outcomes into steady media coverage, coach senior spokespeople, and build real relationships with reporters. A strong candidate brings a track record of earned coverage in competitive outlets, sharp editorial judgment, and the curiosity to learn a complex, regulated energy and AI subject quickly.

How it fits the AI era

AI is the subject matter here, since the company uses machine learning to model power networks and test them against storms and fires. The communications work is to explain that technology in plain, credible terms and to spot when industry news creates a chance to weigh in. Judgment about what counts as news, what claims can be backed up, and how a spokesperson comes across stays with the person, not the tools.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers a close view of how machine learning is applied to physical infrastructure, which builds fluency in talking about AI in a grounded, non-hyped way. That fluency comes from working directly with technical teams and turning their methods into stories reporters trust. Someone building toward this could practice explaining AI systems to non-specialist audiences and learning how regulated industries talk about risk.

Worth showing

• Earned media placements
• Hands-on pitching
• Complex topic writing
• Spokesperson coaching
• News judgment

A physics-based 3D digital twin of the electricity network, so utilities can simulate a storm or a fire before it happens rather than inspect poles after.
