Role Description

Atticus sits at the intersection of regulated legal services, consumer technology, and one of the most consequential policy landscapes in the country. Weโ€™re hiring our first Head of Communications to turn opportunities into coverage, credibility, and influence. Your mission: establish our media presence and shape how stakeholders understand our company and our impact.

Youโ€™ll own corporate communications and public relations, reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, Amanda Runner, and partnering closely with:

  • Stephanie Akpa, Head of Policy and Public Affairs
  • Arpit Garg, Chief Legal Officer
  • Sam Byker, Founder & CEO

Youโ€™ll build a communications program anchored in two engines: data journalism and policy-driven storytelling, particularly around the SSA.

What You'll Own

  • Communications strategy and operations: Set the communications strategy, core messages, and a 12-month editorial calendar that grows Atticus's media coverage.
  • Earned media strategy: Build a public relations program that consistently lands Atticus in the outlets that shape public and policymaker perception.
  • Policy newsjacking and rapid response: Build the muscle to move quickly when SSA or adjacent policy news breaks.
  • Public affairs and Congressional engagement: Partner with our Public Affairs and Advocacy team to design and execute DC fly-ins.
  • Corporate communications: Own execution positioning for our CEO and leadership team, thought leadership platforms, and crisis preparedness.
  • Agency and stakeholder management: Quarterback our PR and public affairs agencies.
  • Communications operations: Own the operational infrastructure for PR and Comms at Atticus.
  • Team building: Hire and develop the comms team over time as the function grows.

What Success Looks Like In Year One

  • Atticus is a regular, credible voice in tier-1 coverage of Social Security and retirement, the SSA, disability benefits, and consumer access to the legal and benefits systems.
  • We have a rapid-response operation that consistently shows up in the first 24 hours of major SSA policy moments.
  • Weโ€™ve executed at least a handful of well-staged Congressional events and fly-ins that meaningfully advanced our policy priorities.
  • Our CEO has an established executive platform anchored in a clear, distinctive point of view.
  • Earned media and public affairs outreach are executed under one integrated plan.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years in communications, with meaningful time in a policy-adjacent environment.
  • Track record of earned media wins delivered through data and original insight.
  • Public affairs chops: organized fly-ins, staged Congressional events, worked with hill staff.
  • A strong writer and editor: can move fluently between various writing formats.
  • A cross-functional quarterback: comfortable holding the middle across various teams.
  • Government affairs fluency: understand how Congress and federal agencies work.
  • Genuine compassion for the people we serve.
  • Comfort in a performance-driven culture.

Benefits

  • Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered.
  • 15 vacation days & ~20 paid holidays each year.
  • Free membership to OneMedical.
  • $600/year reimbursable stipend for internet service.
  • $1,000 reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work.
  • Up to $1,200/year student loan repayment assistance.
  • 401(k) and optional HSA/FSA.
  • Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun colleagues.

Location

This job is fully remote and weโ€™re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues.
