Communications Lead

As Communications Lead you'll be owning both the internal and external communications at Aiven. We think that the biggest opportunities around internal communications lie in curating narratives that separate signal from noise and connect our strategy in a meaningful way to the everyday work of our employees. AI has made content production cheap and created a need for communication that is trusted and truly worth someone's time. Externally you'll focus on translating the complexities of a highly technical product into narratives that land with a wider audience and are further amplified by media. To drive this home you'll be partnering with several stakeholders from Marketing, Product, People and Sales organizations. Success in this role comes down to Aiven having a clear, consistent narrative that employees can articulate and earned media can repeat. Internally, people understand how their work connects to where the company is going. Externally, Aiven is showing up in the right conversations and with journalists who know what category we own and why. To achieve this you've built the infrastructure, cadence, agency relationships and measurements that make the results of your work visible. You'll be part of a high-agency strategy team and report to VP Strategy. We are particularly looking for a strong individual contributor instead of a team lead profile.
