Executive Communications Manager

You’ll be the CEO’s communications engine—turning strategy into narratives that move customers, partners, media, analysts, recruits, and employees. This B2B role sits in Marketing and works shoulder-to-shoulder with Brand/Comms, Product Marketing, Demand Gen, People Ops, Sales/CS leadership, and the CEO’s office. You’ll ghostwrite with credibility, run a tight editorial cadence, and convert every CEO moment into measurable impact.

What You’ll Do

Narrative & Strategy

• Own the CEO message house (vision, category, product/market POV) and keep it aligned with GTM priorities.

• Translate company strategy into talk tracks tailored for customers, prospects, partners, analysts, and investors.

Thought Leadership & Content

• Ghostwrite/edit op-eds, bylines, keynote scripts, fireside chats, LinkedIn/X threads, long-form essays, and podcast prep.

• Build a quarterly editorial calendar tied to launches, events, and demand themes; create reusable content kits from CEO moments.

Executive Social

• Grow CEO + execs’ qualified LinkedIn audiences via consistent posts and active engagement; track ICP follower adds, engagement rate, and sourced meetings.

• Define voice, cadence, and channel mix; draft posts, manage approvals, and monitor engagement/DMs.

PR & Media Interface

• Partner with PR (agency) on story mining, pitch angles, embargoes, and briefings.

• Create media briefs, Q&A, data points, and proof stories; provide day-of support and follow-ups.

Events & Speaking

• Source and secure high-impact stages (industry conferences, customer summits, podcasts).

• Own abstracts, bios, session descriptions, decks, and run-of-show; coordinate rehearsals.

Internal Communications

• Draft All-Hands remarks, weekly/biweekly CEO notes, change/reorg comms, and AMA guides.

• Keep internal and external narratives consistent; equip leaders with cascade toolkits.

Issues & Crisis Comms

• Maintain rapid-response playbooks, holding statements, and escalation paths with Legal/HR/PR.

• Monitor signal (social, outages, market events) and advise on response.

Analyst/Investor Alignment (as needed)

• Coordinate CEO inputs for analyst briefings and investor storytelling; ensure metrics and claims are accurate and consistent.

Ops, Tools & Measurement

• Stand up light editorial ops (intake, pipeline, approval SLAs, asset library, newsroom page).

• Build dashboards for exec comms performance: quality coverage/SOV, stage wins, CEO social engagement in ICP, sourced meetings, and post-event impact on pipeline.

What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)

• Consistent, on-message CEO presence across media, events, and social with measurable lift in qualified reach and engagement in our ICP.

• Tier-1/Tier-2 vertical coverage that advances our category leadership and supports pipeline creation.

• A reliable editorial engine that turns CEO time into scalable assets for Marketing, Sales, and CS.

• Strong internal comms rhythm that drives clarity, alignment, and trust.

What You Bring

• 5–8 years in B2B executive communications, PR/content, or analyst-facing roles (vertical SaaS or construction/field service/industrial tech a plus).

• Elite ghostwriting and speechwriting chops—comfortable with technical topics and data-backed arguments.

• Media fluency: you can craft compelling pitches, prep executives, and navigate interviews.

• Social instincts: you know how to grow executive channels with credibility (not clickbait).

• Editorial operations discipline: calendars, approvals, QC, and on-time delivery.

• Data-literate: you measure content quality, reach in ICP, and business impact; you iterate based on signal.

• Grace under pressure; excellent judgment on sensitive topics and crisis response.

• Bonus: familiarity with tools like HubSpot/Salesforce, Google Workspace, Notion, Figma, simple video/clip workflows.

Compensation:

• $100,000 to $140,000 base salary range + annual bonus.
