- Proven ability to work with highly technical subject matter and extract clear, compelling narratives from engineers and experts for non-technical audiences
- Strong writing and slide design skills with hands-on ownership of written content, data visualization, and visual layout (PowerPoint, Google Slides)
- Experience setting direction and establishing ownership in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment, with an eye for detail and consistency
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Background in a STEM field or strong marketing and communications training, ideally both
- Experience developing and owning marketing or messaging strategy, crafting narrative frameworks for a product line or brand
- Experience positioning against competitors and tailoring a message to distinct buyer audiences
- Familiarity with Government contracting
- Strong editorial judgment and a low tolerance for jargon and filler
- Prior experience at a high-growth startup or early-stage company where marketing and/or communications function was being built, not inherited
