Communications Lead

About Tribe AI

Tribe AI helps enterprises put frontier AI into production. We work alongside the leading AI labs and their field teams to design, build and ship real systems for our customers. The work is new, technical and moving fast, and the stories coming out of it are some of the most interesting in enterprise tech. We need someone to tell them.

The role

You will shape how Tribe shows up in the world. You will be our CEO's external voice and narrative partner: ghostwriting, booking media, building the story and making sure the right people hear it. You'll turn frontier-AI delivery work into stories that land with enterprise buyers, our partner ecosystem and the wider market. This is a lean function, and you will help us build it. You won't inherit a playbook or a big team.

What you'll do

• Own the narrative. Define how Tribe talks about itself and about enterprise AI, and keep that story sharp and consistent across press, partners and our own channels.

• Prepare our CEO for the spotlight. Prepare and brief our CEO for interviews, panels and podcasts, and help shape bylines, LinkedIn posts and keynote talks.

• Run media relations. Use your existing relationships with enterprise and AI tech journalists to get Tribe into the conversations that matter. Pitch stories, not funding announcements.

• Support partner communications. Work with the Partnerships team to produce joint stories and announcements with the AI labs and platforms we build on.

• Find the story in the work. Partner with our marketing team, GMs and delivery teams to pull credible, specific stories out of customer engagements, and turn technical work into narratives an enterprise buyer understands.

• Build the function. Set up the processes, calendar, measurement and any agency or freelance support that comms needs as Tribe grows.

What we're looking for

• 7–12 years in communications, PR or journalism, with a focus on B2B, enterprise or AI tech.

• Warm relationships with tech press: you know reporters and editors at outlets like The Information, TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Bloomberg, Forbes or WSJ Tech, and they take your calls. Cold pitching shouldn't be your main tool.

• You've shaped external communications for a technical or AI company and can explain complex technical work clearly and credibly.

• You've worked directly with founders or C-suite executives on their personal visibility and thought leadership.

• A strong written voice: clear, credible and distinct. You can write as someone else and sound like them.

• Confidence and presence. You're comfortable in the room with executives, journalists and partners, and you have opinions.

• You like to build. You've thrived in an early-stage or small team without much structure.

Nice to Haves

• You've been a journalist (reporter or editor) covering enterprise tech or AI and now want to work in-house.

• You've built a communications function from scratch.

• You've worked in AI, SaaS or professional services and understand the language and concerns of enterprise buyers.

• You've done partner or co-marketing comms with large platform companies.
