    Develop and manage communication protocols and playbooks for sensitive issues, including reputation risk and crisis scenarios.

    Mentor and support comms and content team members, help define org structure, and lead day-to-day collaboration across the business.

    Role Requirements

    10-15 years of experience in public relations or strategic communications roles, ideally in the B2C consumer tech, digital services, or consumer app/subscription services.

    Outstanding written and verbal communication skills in English (proficiency in another language like French or German is a plus but not mandatory), with a strong portfolio of media coverage and content.

    Proven track record in managing global media relations and securing impactful earned media.

    Strong leadership and project management skills with experience working in cross-functional, distributed teams.

    High emotional intelligence (EQ) and stakeholder management ability.

    Strategic thinking with a hands-on, execution-focused mindset.

    Ability to distill complex technical concepts into relatable, engaging stories for a broad audience.

    Preferred Qualifications

    Experience navigating crisis communications or high-sensitivity reputation scenarios.

    Comfortable working in fast-paced, globally distributed organizations.

    Success Metrics

    Volume and quality of earned media coverage across priority markets.

    Share of voice vs competitors.

    Positive sentiment and media engagement around product releases and strategic initiatives.
