- Set the messaging framework for CurieOS, emphasizing its three pillars (Materials, Deployment, Hardware) and full-lifecycle positioning.
- Write creative and messaging briefs for design, video, and campaign work.
- Ensure clear external communication separation between Orbital Industries (brand authority) and Orbital IT (commercial).
- Collaborate with CFO and founders on investor messaging to position Orbital Industries as an AI Industrial category leader.
- Translate technical milestones into compelling narratives.
- Own long-form writing, thought leadership, website messaging, investor content, and campaign assets from strategy to production.
- Produce accessible yet credible content on AI, materials science, and hardware engineering.
- Develop and maintain CurieOS content across its three pillars.
- Utilize LLMs and modern tools for efficient content production while maintaining high editorial standards.
- Own organic social media strategy, including voice, editorial calendar, and content direction.
- Build a distinctive social media presence with a clear point of view.
- Track developments in AI infrastructure and adjacent industries for timely content.
- Partner with the GTM Lead to align organic and paid social messaging.
- Own website copy and landing-page messaging, ensuring alignment with business priorities.
- Collaborate with the GTM team on campaign landing page copy.
- Develop the press function, strengthen media relationships, and identify coverage opportunities.
- Amplify founder positioning for external audiences, interviews, and speaking engagements.
- Manage freelance press support and scale the communications function.
Requirements
- Significant leadership experience in communications, content, editorial, or brand storytelling, preferably in a technical, deep-tech, or science-adjacent environment.
- Experience with investor communications or fundraising narratives is a strong plus.
- Excellent writing skills with strong editorial taste and clear judgment, demonstrated through a portfolio.
- Deep curiosity about AI, science, engineering, or technical products.
- Ability to make technical ideas accessible without losing credibility or nuance.
- Comfortable owning both strategy and execution.
- Experience building or significantly expanding a communications function.
