Matter is hiring a Head of Marketing & Communications to own how the company—and the people building it—show up in the world.
This is not a traditional corporate marketing job. We are looking for someone who can build a brand people want to be associated with. Someone who can make an obscure technical breakthrough feel inevitable, make the right engineer want to quit their job and join Matter, make an investor feel like they are discovering the next great company before everyone else does, and make the technology community pay attention every time Matter has something to say.
Most importantly, you need taste. You should have strong instincts about what is interesting, what looks good, what sounds intelligent, what feels forced, and what will actually resonate with the kinds of people Matter wants to attract and the cultural moment we’re in.
Build the Matter Brand
Own and continually sharpen Matter's identity, voice, visual language, and position in the market.
Make Matter feel like one of the most ambitious, technically credible, and culturally interesting companies being built.
Guide the creative direction behind everything we put into the world—from our website and launch materials to recruiting collateral, photography, videos, presentations, merchandise, events, and physical spaces.
Maintain an exceptionally high bar for quality. Matter should never look or sound like a generic aerospace company, defense contractor, AI startup, or corporate marketing department.
Build a team of designers, photographers, filmmakers, web developers, agencies, and other creative vendors when necessary—but be capable of doing a surprising amount yourself.
Make Matter Impossible to Ignore
Own Matter's presence across X, LinkedIn, and emerging platforms
Develop a social strategy that materially grows Matter's audience and creates sustained interest around what we are building.
Qualification
You are probably unusually onlineYou are an exceptional writerWhat We Care About
Required
You are probably unusually online.
You follow great technology companies before everyone else starts talking about them. You know which founders are interesting, which writers are worth reading, which podcasts matter, which conferences are actually good, and which parties everyone somehow ends up at.
You understand the culture of venture-backed deep tech.
You are an exceptional writer.
You can understand highly technical subjects without flattening them into meaningless marketing language.
You know how to make complicated things feel understandable without making them feel simple.
You can move comfortably between an engineering lab, a journalist's inbox, a founder dinner, a conference backstage, and a social media feed.
You are highly creative but intensely results-oriented.
You are humble enough to do whatever needs to get done.
One day you might be developing the narrative for a major satellite announcement. The next you might be editing a CEO post, coordinating a photographer, fixing copy on the website, pitching a journalist, finding a dinner invitation, reviewing merchandise samples, and helping set up an event.
