Role: Narratives & Communications Lead

Location: New York City, NY (Flatiron — On-Site, 5 Days/Week)

Salary: $100K–$300K + Equity


Our client is a fast-growing AI company building foundational systems that help organizations communicate, operate, and think more clearly. They’re creating tools that unify information, strengthen collective reasoning, and enable teams to move with precision and shared understanding.


Through a blend of advanced AI models, thoughtful product design, and narrative clarity, they help companies align on what matters — from strategic direction to day-to-day operations. Their platform turns scattered knowledge into coherent, actionable intelligence.


Backed by leading investors and led by a mission-driven founding team, they’re building the communication infrastructure for high-performance organizations around the world.


Position Overview:

The Narratives & Communications Lead will own all internal and external storytelling — shaping how the company communicates its vision, product value, and operating philosophy.


You’ll partner closely with the founders and leadership to craft narratives that drive alignment, persuasion, and understanding across audiences: customers, partners, employees, and the broader ecosystem.


This is a hands-on role for someone who thinks in systems, writes with precision, and can translate complex ideas into narratives that resonate. Expect to work across product, GTM, culture, and strategic communications to create clarity at scale.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop cohesive narratives across product, company strategy, and external communication
  • Translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling messaging
  • Support leadership with executive communication, presentations, and internal alignment docs
  • Build frameworks, language systems, and communication guidelines
  • Lead narrative development for launches, announcements, and GTM initiatives
  • Partner cross-functionally to ensure consistency of message across teams
  • Drive clarity of thought inside the organization by structuring information and reasoning
  • Produce high-quality written content: memos, briefs, speeches, FAQs, docs, and more


Qualifications:

This is a role for a structured thinker and exceptional communicator who loves turning ambiguity into clarity.


You likely fit if you:

  • Have experience in narrative design, communications, writing, or strategic storytelling
  • Are exceptional at simplifying complexity into crisp, persuasive language
  • Enjoy working closely with founders and senior leadership
  • Think in systems and can design frameworks, not just words
  • Thrive in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments
  • Are both creative and analytical — comfortable crafting narratives and testing them


This role is not for you if:

  • You prefer narrow writing tasks over holistic narrative ownership
  • You struggle to work without constant structure or direction
  • You dislike rapid iteration or high-output writing environments
  • You’re uncomfortable working across both internal and external audiences


What they offer:

  • Competitive salary: $100K–$300K + meaningful equity
  • Mission-driven team working on foundational AI systems
  • High ownership and direct collaboration with the founding team
  • Opportunity to define the language, clarity, and reasoning architecture of a fast-scaling company
  • A role where your writing and thinking meaningfully shape the company’s identity and execution
