We're looking for a communications leader who can help shape how A1 is introduced to the world.

You will develop our external narrative, work closely with founders and leadership, build relationships with global media, and ensure every public communication reflects the quality and ambition of the company.

This is a hands-on role. You'll be writing, editing, pitching stories, preparing announcements and working directly with senior leaders on communications strategy.

 

What You Will Be Doing

  • Develop and execute A1's global communications strategy.

  • Build relationships with technology, business and mainstream media.

  • Develop media angles and proactively secure high-quality press coverage.

  • Write and edit press releases, announcements, company updates and executive communications.

  • Comfortable working directly with founders and senior leadership.

  • Able to operate independently in a fast-moving environment with minimal direction.

  • Strong attention to detail and high standards for quality.

 

How We Work

The best products in the world are built by small, highly capable teams. We operate with high talent density, fast execution speed, and strong ownership. We care deeply about product quality, clear thinking, and practical execution.

This is a hands-on environment. Everyone is expected to contribute directly, operate independently, and make good decisions under ambiguity. Our goal is to build products that are genuinely useful to billions of people globally.

 

Interview Process

If there appears to be a fit, the process typically includes interviews and a written assessment.

Applications are reviewed directly by our team. Interviews may be conducted virtually and/or onsite depending on location.

We value speed, clarity, and direct communication throughout the process.
