Quick facts
From the original posting
Wispr is an AI research and product company building the voice interface for computing. AI can now reason, code, and act. Yet, humans still do the work of the interface. We think that’s backwards.
Our first products are Flow, which lets you speak naturally in any application, and Notetaker, which builds context across conversations. We’re building toward an interface that can perceive, understand, and take action with earned trust. That means solving hard problems across models, systems, and product - and caring about the final human experience as deeply as the technology underneath it.
We’re a talent-dense team that holds strong opinions, tests them quickly, and builds technology that sparks joy. Our goal is to build the first voice interface used every day by a billion people.
This is a communications architecture role, building, not just managing. The foundational disciplines, narrative development, relationship building, message architecture, media strategy, are table stakes. What we are hiring for is someone who can build the model that AI-native companies aspire to, and that does not yet fully exist.
The old playbook, press releases, managed spokesperson quotes, quarterly media cycles, was designed for a world where information moved slowly and trust was conferred by institutions. That model does not work here. We are looking for someone who knows that and has a point of view on what replaces it.
You will operate as a senior strategic partner, and own the communications function end-to-end: narrative, press, executive voice, owned content, cross-functional alignment, and issues management. You will build the team and the system as the company scales.
Corporate narrative and positioning: message architecture, audience-specific narrative tracks, and the discipline to hold consistency across a fast-moving company
The communications system: editorial calendar, media strategy, agency management, and performance measurement
Maximizing for positive reach and positioning across the press and media channels we care about most
Executive communications: building a durable CEO voice across socials, podcasts, speaking, and long-form writing, as a repeatable system rooted in genuine conviction
Audience translation: distinct narrative tracks for developers, consumers, enterprise buyers, press, and recruits, each tuned in depth and frame of reference without diluting the substance
Understanding and building a targeted relationship with emerging media: podcasts, newsletters, streaming shows, creators that blur the lines between influencers and media.
Leverage automations to improve conventional PR workflows, reporting, dashboards, coverage tracking, competitive intelligence, etc.
Cross-functional partnership: embedded communications input in product launches, investor narrative, and partnership strategy
Competitive intelligence: a standing practice that informs narrative planning and keeps Wispr Flow ahead of the category conversation
Reputation and issues management: proactive scenario planning, rapid response, and the judgment to make the right call under pressure
10 or more years of communications experience, with meaningful time building programs and teams at high-growth technology companies
Range across narrative craft and distribution mechanics: you write well, you think in systems, and you do not outsource either
Demonstrated ability to translate technical complexity across multiple distinct audiences without losing substance for any of them
Business and financial fluency: you understand how positioning, growth narrative, and investor perception connect to communications strategy
Strong media relationships built on trust over time and a proactive news sense
Proven issues management judgment: you have handled something that mattered, under pressure, and made the right call
High agency, low ego: you ship, you give direct feedback, you are accountable for outcomes not outputs
AI-native in practice.
The companies that get communications right in this new world will not just have better press coverage. They will have built something more durable: a public understanding of what they are doing and why it matters that survives scrutiny, competitive noise, and the narrative chaos of a category being defined in real time.
We are not looking for someone to manage the story we already have. We are looking for someone to build the model. If that is the problem you want to work on, we want to hear from you.
We sponsor H1B, O1, EB1, L1, STEM OPT, and more. We can't guarantee sponsorship for every role, but if we make you an offer we'll make every reasonable effort, with help from our immigration law firm.
We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification. The strongest candidates we meet rarely do, so don't exclude yourself prematurely. We're rethinking how humans interact with AI, and doing that well demands diversity of perspective and experience.
We're committed to a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know.
