Pacific Fusion Ltd
Head of Communications
Pacific Fusion Ltd, Fremont, CA
As head of communications (and our first comms hire) you'll lead the charge in crafting and telling our company story.
You'll own our external-facing brand-website and social channels, media relations and PR, conferences and speaking engagements, decks and one pagers, and fundraising and investor relations materials.
And you'll collaborate with and rally our team to represent the brand in everything they do-drafting messaging docs, training teams, and reviewing materials.
This role isn't right for most people, but it's perfect for the right person. We move fast, talk fast, have thick skin, demand a deep level of technical understanding, and care about both the vision and the details. We're scientists and engineers that think logically and rationally but are chasing a highly personal mission. If this last paragraph makes you more excited than scared, read on.
