About the Role

DigitalOcean is seeking a master media strategist to unify, elevate, and lead their global narrative and storytelling. This role will transform public relations, corporate communications, and analyst and influencer relations into a unified power engine that accelerates market awareness and adoption and inspires community trust.

Responsibilities

  • Define and author the overarching global communication strategy to align long-term enterprise goals with a compelling public voice that elevates corporate authority.
  • Cultivate and leverage deep relationships with Tier-1 tech journalists and industry influencers to secure high-impact placements that increase competitive share of voice.
  • Develop proactive response frameworks and risk-mitigation models to safeguard corporate reputation and maintain public trust during critical business or industry events.
  • Oversee the direction and performance of all corporate digital and social media channels to optimize multi-platform engagement with the global community.
  • Establish advanced operational KPIs and attribution metrics across all communication vectors to measure and prove business impact, brand sentiment, and pipeline influence.
  • Provide strategic counsel, bespoke media coaching, and tailored talking points to the C-suite to enhance the efficacy of executive thought leadership across public forums.
  • Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing team of communication specialists and content creators to cultivate internal talent, maximize operational velocity, and foster a world-class culture of accountability.

Requirements

  • Experience with building and executing multi-channel global communications, PR, and social media strategies at scale within a high-growth SaaS, cloud infrastructure, or tech environment.
  • Deep understanding of public relations methodologies, crisis management frameworks, and the shifting nuances of algorithmic digital channels.
  • Experience with handling corporate visibility operations and acting as a trusted liaison to media entities, industry analysts, and executive stakeholders.
  • Exceptional relational intelligence and diplomacy skills, enabling harmonization of diverse cross-functional teams and building ironclad partnerships across organizational boundaries.
  • Growth-mindset approach: natural appetite for constructive feedback, relentless drive to challenge stale brand paradigms, and a 'leave it better than you found it' attitude.
