About Snorkel

About the Team

The Marketing team at Snorkel AI powers the engine behind our brand, community, and go-to-market success. We are high-ownership operators who lead independently, align cross-functionally, and deliver results. We partner with Research, Product, Sales, and executive leadership to turn complex AI work into stories the market pays attention to.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, results-measured role. You'll find the angles inside our research, benchmarks, customer work, and executives' points of view and turn it into something that lands. You report to the Senior Director of Integrated Marketing.

Responsibilities

Own communications. Set and run the comms plan: press, podcasts, awards, and be a facilitator on organic speaking. Own the calendar, the priorities, and the results.
Find the story. Mine research, benchmark results (e.g., Open Benchmarks Grants, leaderboards), customer wins, and market moments for angles that balance what Snorkel needs to say with what a reporter, host, or judge finds interesting.
Pitch and place. Secure mainstream and tier-1 trade coverage, podcast appearances, and speaking slots in-house (no agency).
Write and find the right stories. Collaborate with Research, Product Marketing, and Content to turn insights into a coordinated package: release, byline, data cut, social, podcast talk track.
Awards and speaking. Manage awards pipeline/submissions and organic speaking proposal calendar.

About You

You're a strategic writer who happens to be great at PR, or a PR pro who happens to write at a journalist level. You read AI coverage and know all the most influential business podcasts.

Requirements

5+ years in communications, PR, journalism, or content roles, in-house or agency
A portfolio of placed and published work
Exceptional writer: you can produce a publication-ready byline in an executive's voice and a three-sentence pitch that works
Working fluency in AI and B2B technical topics and the ability to learn fast from researchers and engineers
Judgment for balancing company goals with what's newsworthy
Existing or fast-forming relationships with tech and business media, influential podcasts, and technical influencers
Comfort being measured on results, with a habit of tracking and reporting them

Bonus

Experience with frontier lab, developer tools, data/ML infrastructure, or enterprise AI companies
Former reporter or editor
Experience running awards programs and conference CFP submissions
Experience using AI tools to augment research, drafting, and media monitoring
