Job description

You will own brand and communications end to end, from positioning and narrative through press, founder visibility, and owned content. You will also build the function itself: the team, the systems, and the standard for how we show up everywhere that matters.

We have a product we believe in and a clear shot at owning a category before anyone else defines it. You will shape how the market thinks about us, build the systems that scale that story, and own our brand and reputation as the proof you’re winning.

Your Impact
Brand & Narrative Strategy

Own Reindeer’s positioning and voice, and turn it into a brand system that scales across every campaign, channel, and touchpoint

Conceive and run brand campaigns, from the big idea to the assets to how it shows up across every channel

Set the editorial vision and voice guidelines that keep every piece of content on-brand as we scale

Communications & Press Narrative

Own how Reindeer sounds to the press: the messaging, the story angles, and the talking points behind every pitch and interview

Collaborate with our PR agency, who handle media relations and placement, so that earned coverage carries our narrative

Social & Owned Channels

Own Reindeer's presence on social channels from strategy through the posts themselves, for both the company and the founders

Build the content engine that turns our thinking into a steady, distinct presence people follow

Founder & Executive Visibility

Turn our founders into recognizable voices through bylines, podcasts, panels, and the right rooms

Ghostwrite, coach, and source the opportunities that keep them visible without eating their time

Team & Function Building

Hire and grow the brand and comms function as we scale, setting the standard for how we show up everywhere

Report directly into leadership, and partner closely with founders, Sales, and Product on positioning and go-to-market

What It Takes

8+ years in comms, PR, brand, content, editorial or journalism or founder/exec visibility somewhere in there. (Or a portfolio strong enough to make years irrelevant.)

A track record of earned media and/or founder thought leadership you can point to: placements you landed, bylines you shaped, voices you built.

Existing media instincts and ideally relationships you know what makes a story land and you're comfortable pitching it yourself.

A portfolio or writing samples showing range and a distinct voice: positioning you've shaped plus published work (essays, launches, campaigns, coverage) you can say "I made that" about.
