Communication Manager

About the Role

We are building something that hasn't existed before. This role owns how we communicate that to the world. You'll work directly with the Marketing Lead and own execution across content, communications, events, and employer brand. You're a generalist with a writing instinct. You know how to take something technical and make it legible without dumbing it down.

Key Responsibilities

• Brand and writing. Write across formats: brand narrative, press materials, case studies, blog posts, social copy, website copy, internal announcements, partner comms. Turn what we build into stories people remember. This is the core of the job.

• Brand voice and consistency. Define and protect how Airbound sounds and feels everywhere it shows up. Bring the instinct for taste and detail that consumer brands live by.

• Social and owned channels. Own Airbound’s LinkedIn and other channels. Not chasing engagement metrics, but building a credible, distinctive presence.

• Employer brand. Know what’s happening inside the company and make it compelling to the people outside it we want to hire.

• Media and PR support. Support press strategy and manage the day-to-day of our PR agency.

• Agency and creative partners. Brief and manage photographers, videographers, and agencies. Own the brief, the relationship, and the quality of the output.

• Events and activations. Run logistics and execution for industry events, partner meetings, and internal milestones.

Qualifications

Must-Have

• 5 to 8 years in brand, communications, content, or editorial, ideally where you built or shaped a brand people recognized.

• Experience building a consumer, D2C, or challenger brand from an early stage.

• Genuinely strong, fast writing.

• Comfort owning your output with minimal hand-holding, and staying sharp when the brief isn’t fully formed.

• A portfolio of writing and brand work you’re proud of. We will ask to see it. Applications without work samples won’t move forward.

Good to Have

• The ability to sit with an engineer, understand what they built, and turn it into something a non-engineer finds compelling.

• Experience in a startup, hardware, or otherwise ambitious environment where you set the bar rather than inherited it.

Who You Are

• A brand builder and writer with real taste, not a marketer who optimizes channels.

• You take pride in clear, compelling storytelling and sweat the details others skip.

• You’d rather build something people love than hit a dashboard target.

What this isn’t

• Performance marketing, growth, or digital. No paid media, media buying, SEO, martech stacks, lead gen, or funnel management. If that’s the work you want to do, this role will frustrate you. The job is brand, story, content, and execution.
