Job description

This is a first dedicated communications leader for a company moving fast in a young market. The job is to set one clear story about how AI is changing crime, win coverage from reporters and analysts, and turn experts inside the company into confident public voices. A strong candidate has a decade or more of earned media work, ideally in security, fintech or regulated tech, writes clearly about technical topics, and stays steady when a reputation issue hits.

How it fits the AI era

AI shapes both the story and the daily work here. The company's message is about criminals using AI and investigators needing to keep up, so the person must speak about AI with real substance, including its risks. Drafting, research and media tracking can be sped up with AI workflows, while trust with journalists, judgment in a crisis, and coaching nervous experts stay human.

How it builds AI experience

Someone in this role would build AI-assisted media monitoring, reporting and message guides that other teams can reuse, all tied to a company that traces crypto crime for investigators. To prepare, a candidate can set up their own monitoring and drafting workflow around a real news beat, such as financial crime or blockchain investigations, and be ready to show how it saves time and keeps quality up.

Worth showing

• Earned media placements won
• Share of voice growth results
• Executive visibility program design
• Crisis communications playbook experience
• AI-assisted communications workflows built
