Description
TL;DR We’re hiring a Founding Communications Lead to shape how Listen shows up in the market — with customers, candidates, reporters, analysts, and the broader technology community. Listen is building the future of AI-powered customer understanding, and we need someone who can help polish and amplify the story we tell about ourselves. You’ll work directly with our Head of Marketing and leadership team to build Listen’s communications foundation across media, executive storytelling, announcements, employer brand, and internal and external narrative. This role is for a sharp, polished, high-judgment communications professional who knows how to turn company momentum into clear, credible stories. You’ll help us earn attention from tech and B2B media, prepare executives to tell the story well, and make sure our message is consistent across every important audience. This is a senior IC role with high ownership. You’ll likely replace much of what a PR agency would traditionally do, while building the communications function from the ground up. Min. 5–8 years in communications, PR, media relations, executive communications, journalism, or related roles. B2B SaaS communications experience is important. Agency PR or journalism experience is a plus. BACKGROUND Listen Labs is an AI-powered research platform that helps teams uncover insights from customer interviews in hours — not months. We help customers analyze conversations, surface themes, and make faster, smarter product decisions. COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS - World-Class Team: Founded by serial entrepreneurs (previous AI exit), former co-founders, and talent from Jane Street, Twitter, Stripe, Affirm, Bain, Goldman Sachs, and many more Sequoia-backed startups (plus IOI/ICPC backgrounds). - Hypergrowth: We're a fast-growing team backed by top-tier investors that's grown several-fold in the past year, and we're set on multiplying that again. We move fast, care deeply about craft, and love working with people who take ownership. - Traction: Rapid growth across segments with enterprise wins at Google, Microsoft, Nestlé, and P&G. - Performance: Industry-leading win rate driven by a highly differentiated product. - Market Validation: Consistently winning customers across all segments with over six-figure lands that lead to quick expansions. - Viral Product: Interviews are shared with tens of thousands of viewers, fueling PLG, organic expansion, and daily inbound from Fortune 500s. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Own Listen’s communications strategy across media relations, executive communications, company announcements, employer brand, and core company narrative. - Develop Listen’s key narratives, talking points, and stories we use with press, customers, candidates, analysts, investors, and internal teams. - Drive media relations across tech and B2B media, identifying the right stories, shaping compelling angles, preparing pitches, and building trusted reporter relationships. - Create high-quality communications materials, including press releases, media kits, fact sheets, executive bios, briefing documents, messaging guides, and interview prep. - Prepare executives and spokespeople for media moments, customer conversations, events, and tough questions so they can stay clear, credible, and on message. - Shape executive thought leadership, including founder narratives, bylines, op-eds, speaking opportunities, social posts, and public-facing POVs. - Partner with leadership on major announcements, including product launches, funding news, customer momentum, research reports, events, and company milestones. - Build Listen’s employer brand for elite technical talent by telling the story of our team, technical ambition, product velocity, and culture of ownership. - Support awards, rankings, analyst briefings, and stakeholder communications that strengthen Listen’s credibility in the market.
