Director, Financial & Corporate Communications

Director, Financial & Corporate Communications

What You'll Do:
You will define and lead CoreWeave’s financial and strategic communications function at a pivotal moment in the company’s evolution as a newly public company, shaping how our business is understood by investors, analysts, media, and policy stakeholders. You will own earnings communications, financial media strategy, and high-stakes issues management—translating complex financial, operational, and technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives that influence market perception and investor confidence. Partnering closely with executive leadership, Legal, IR, and Policy, you will provide real-time counsel during critical moments such as earnings cycles, market-moving announcements, customer concentration scrutiny, AI infrastructure policy debates, and periods of heightened public or investor attention. You will build and scale the systems, relationships, and operating rigor required to succeed as a public company, ensuring CoreWeave’s story is consistently understood with credibility, precision, and impact. This role blends strategy and execution, requiring exceptional judgment, speed, and the ability to operate at the center of business-critical decisions.

About the Role:
As our first Director of Financial & Corporate Communications, you will report directly to the Head of Communications and serve as a key advisor to the CEO, CFO, and executive leadership team. This is a rare opportunity to build and define the financial communications function at a newly public, hyper-growth company navigating increased market visibility, investor expectations, and scrutiny. You will establish and refine our voice with financial markets, leading communications for earnings, capital markets activity, potential M&A, and ongoing public company disclosures. You will prepare executives for earnings calls, investor engagement, and high-profile media interactions, ensuring clarity, consistency, and credibility across all external narratives. You will also lead communications through high-stakes scenarios such as infrastructure reliability incidents, rapid growth scrutiny, or shifts in the AI and semiconductor landscape that impact investor sentiment. In parallel, you will design and implement frameworks to monitor narrative risk, measure communications effectiveness, and scale processes aligned with public-company standards. Joining now means shaping not just how we communicate, but how we are perceived in the public markets during a defining phase of growth.

Success in the First 6–12 Months:

• Establish and lead a best-in-class earnings communications process, including messaging, executive preparation, and financial media engagement aligned to public-company standards
• Build and deepen relationships with top-tier financial and business media (e.g., Bloomberg, WSJ, FT, CNBC), resulting in stronger, more consistent coverage and message pull-through
  
  
• Develop and operationalize a comprehensive issues management framework, including clear escalation paths and rapid-response protocols
• Successfully lead communications through at least one high-stakes or market-sensitive scenario (e.g., earnings cycle, major announcement, reputational risk moment) with strong executive alignment and positive external outcomes
• Partner closely with Finance, Legal, IR, and Policy to ensure message consistency, disclosure discipline, and risk mitigation in a public-company environment
• Define and implement measurable KPIs for communications effectiveness, including media sentiment, analyst perception, and narrative consistency
• Shape and scale a cohesive corporate narrative that clearly positions CoreWeave’s market leadership, financial performance, and differentiation within AI infrastructure

Who You Are:

• You bring 9+ years of experience in financial or corporate communications, ideally within publicly traded or late-stage technology companies.
• You have led earnings or investor communications, managed complex and high-visibility issues, and advised senior executives in moments that matter.
• You are a sharp, disciplined storyteller who can distill complex financial and technical concepts into clear, credible narratives.
• You have strong relationships with financial and business media and a proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, IR, Finance, and Policy.
• You thrive in fast-moving, high-visibility environments and bring a balance of strategic thinking, operational rigor, and creative problem-solving.

Preferred:

Experience in cloud, AI, semiconductors, or infrastructure; deep familiarity with public company reporting cycles, disclosure expectations, and investor dynamics; and experience managing external agencies during periods of heightened media or market scrutiny.
