About the Role
This is the chance to define what communications looks like for the creator age, as the media industry is being rewritten. You will build and lead comms across the media portfolio and set the story across all relevant surfaces, from tier-one editorial to creators and their platforms, and directly to audiences and communities. You are building for a world where creators are the channel, and the lines between creator, media company, brand deal, investment, and venture are increasingly blurred.
Responsibilities
- Own and manage the narrative, ensuring tier-one editorial and brand partners understand FlightStory and the future of creator-led media.
- Develop audience communications as a distinct discipline to grow shows, creators, and brand worlds.
- Amplify media, strategies, and partnerships through creators as a deliberate strategy.
- Position commercial partnerships for impact, benefiting partners, media, FlightStory, and creators.
- Ensure executive positioning is sharp, consistent, and category-defining across editorial and relevant platforms.
- Actively manage risk and reputation, responding to events with composure and authenticity.
- Integrate AI fluently into workflows for drafting, monitoring, briefing, measuring, and increasing speed.
- Cultivate real, current, and active press and creator relationships with senior journalists and thought leaders.
- Launch, build, and finish high-profile work to an exceptional level.
- Manage international launches, briefings, partnerships, and crises across time zones.

- Proven ability to operate in risk and reputation management, anticipating exposure and navigating crises.

- Talent-fluent, with experience advising, protecting, and elevating creators and talent.
- Brand-world literate, understanding the connection between shows, brands, categories, and culture.
- A leader under pressure, maintaining standards and improving judgment in stressful situations.
- Operationally fierce, allergic to vagueness and bureaucracy, with a focus on completion and pace.
