WHO YOU ARE:
You are a recognized leader in brand and communications with a strong aesthetic sense and an instinct for narrative.

You are an outstanding writer and editor, capable of translating sophisticated technology into clear, compelling messaging for diverse audiences.

Elevate the voices of Astro Mechanica’s leadership through differentiated thought leadership, public commentary, and executive communications.
Partner closely with leadership on investor-facing materials, including fundraising decks, investor updates, milestone announcements, and strategic narrative.
Ensure all external-facing materials are cohesive, polished, and aligned with our brand and business objectives.
Build and lead a small, high-output marketing and creative team over time.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
8–12+ years of experience in marketing, brand, and/or strategic communications.
Proven experience building or significantly reimagining brand and marketing from an early stage—ideally as Director/Head of Marketing, Director/Head of Communications, or similar senior role.
Demonstrated success running campaigns that drove hiring and revenue outcomes.
Exceptional writing and editing skills, with a portfolio spanning executive comms, web copy, decks, and long-form content.
A passion for aviation or defense technology.
Strong creative taste and experience collaborating closely with designers and video teams to produce cohesive, on-brand work.
Ability to deeply understand technical products and translate them into buyer- and candidate-friendly messaging.
Comfortable operating both strategically and tactically—designing the strategy and also doing the execution.
Experience leading and developing small, high-output creative/marketing teams.
Bay Area location a plus; remote with travel acceptable.
