• Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical or scientific topics into clear, accurate content for general audiences
• Experience developing messaging and materials for executive spokespeople, including for media and government relations contexts
• Solid grasp of corporate sustainability issues, including climate, greenhouse gas accounting, energy, and ESG frameworks
• Strong research and analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize information quickly across technical and policy domains
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with high attention to accuracy and tone

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Familiarity with how AI and machine learning systems work, including awareness of their energy use and environmental trade-offs
• Experience working with or within AI, cloud, or semiconductor companies
• Established relationships in sustainability, technology policy, or corporate communications networks
