• Exceptional writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex or sensitive topics into clear, human language
• Executive presence and stakeholder management, with a track record of working closely with C-level leaders
• High emotional intelligence and sound judgment — especially in high-stakes or ambiguous communication situations
• Strong program management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple threads and deadlines with calm and focus
• Experience running large-scale internal events, including All Hands and company summits
• Comfort with distributed teams and async-first communications — we’re a remote company and that shapes how we operate

• Drive content planning and messaging for our bi-annual in-person summits, including executive keynotes, ancillary content, and cross-functional activities

• Build playbooks and frameworks for repeatable communications (e.g., strategy rollouts, product milestones, org changes, business system updates, and more)
• Uphold and evolve our tone of voice internally — communicating with warmth, clarity, humility, and purpose. (Oh, and humor. We do serious work, but don’t take ourselves too seriously.)
• Use data and feedback loops to measure the impact of internal communications and iterate accordingly
