DeepL - Senior Communications Manager | Global

• Own DeepL's press relationships, with the US as your home base and a remit that reaches across our markets, from the top business and tech outlets to the podcasts and writers shaping how the world talks about AI, and the stories that show what we're building and why it matters. • Drive our written storytelling, mainly press releases and bylines, plus the messaging behind our biggest moments. This is the core of the role, and it only works if you're a genuinely strong writer. • Define the messaging frameworks that clarify our category, our technology, and the value we create, and keep them sharp and consistent everywhere they show up. • Shape executive thought leadership: advise our CXOs on their social presence, and bring our comms work to life across DeepL's own channels. • Watch the market and our competitors closely, and turn what you see into openings for DeepL to stand out. • Work closely with marketing, and across product, policy, legal, and leadership, to stay on top of what's happening in the business and turn it into comms opportunities worth chasing. • Protect and strengthen DeepL's reputation: brief journalists, correct misperceptions, advise other teams on reputational risk, and handle issues and crises with judgment, speed, and discretion. • Land and manage the speaking opportunities that put our leaders on the right stages, build out that network, and be there with them, prepping spokespeople and working the room at the events and industry moments that matter. • Track what's landing, share of voice, sentiment, coverage quality, and double down on what moves perception. • Help scale the function as we grow: sharpen the systems, processes, and agency partnerships that keep comms running well at a bigger scale, and bring the ideas we haven't had yet. • QUALITIES WE LOOK FOR • 5–7+ years in communications, ideally in tech, with work you clearly owned and shipped • A builder who owns the outcome. You spot what could work better and make it happen, then see it through end to end • Fast-moving. You like a quick pace, make decisions without fuss, and get energy from shipping. • Hands-on. You'll write the post, make the pitch, and build the deck yourself, and enjoy it. • AI-savvy, or genuinely curious about how it changes the way we work, and keen to use it in your own day-to-day • A strong writer. You make complex things clear and human, which is how DeepL likes to sound. • Genuinely into AI, and Language AI especially. You follow where it's going and can talk about it with real conviction. • Excited to travel several times a year for in person team events and other communications engagements, throughout the US and worldwide.
