[Hiring] Communications Lead @Tribe AI

Role Description

You will shape how Tribe shows up in the world. You will be our CEO's external voice and narrative partner: ghostwriting, booking media, building the story and making sure the right people hear it. You'll turn frontier-AI delivery work into stories that land with enterprise buyers, our partner ecosystem and the wider market. This is a lean function, and you will help us build it. You won't inherit a playbook or a big team.

What you'll do

• Own the narrative.
• Define how Tribe talks about itself and about enterprise AI, and keep that story sharp and consistent across press, partners and our own channels.
• Prepare our CEO for the spotlight.
• Prepare and brief our CEO for interviews, panels and podcasts, and help shape bylines, LinkedIn posts and keynote talks.
• Run media relations.
• Use your existing relationships with enterprise and AI tech journalists to get Tribe into the conversations that matter. Pitch stories, not funding announcements.
• Support partner communications.
• Work with the Partnerships team to produce joint stories and announcements with the AI labs and platforms we build on.
• Find the story in the work.
• Partner with our marketing team, GMs and delivery teams to pull credible, specific stories out of customer engagements, and turn technical work into narratives an enterprise buyer understands.
• Build the function.
• Set up the processes, calendar, measurement and any agency or freelance support that comms needs as Tribe grows.

Qualifications

• 7–12 years in communications, PR or journalism, with a focus on B2B, enterprise or AI tech.
• Warm relationships with tech press: you know reporters and editors at outlets like The Information, TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Bloomberg, Forbes or WSJ Tech, and they take your calls. Cold pitching shouldn't be your main tool.
• You've shaped external communications for a technical or AI company and can explain complex technical work clearly and credibly.
• You've worked directly with founders or C-suite executives on their personal visibility and thought leadership.
• A strong written voice: clear, credible and distinct. You can write as someone else and sound like them.
• Confidence and presence. You're comfortable in the room with executives, journalists and partners, and you have opinions.
• You like to build. You've thrived in an early-stage or small team without much structure.

Requirements

• Nice to Haves
• You've been a journalist (reporter or editor) covering enterprise tech or AI and now want to work in-house.
• You've built a communications function from scratch.
• You've worked in AI, SaaS or professional services and understand the language and concerns of enterprise buyers.
• You've done partner or co-marketing comms with large platform companies.
