We are looking for an exceptional operator to help us build a modern, "go-direct" media engine. If you want to work on cutting-edge communications alongside world-class founders, this is the role for you.

We don't do traditional, sanitized PR. The strongest founders are becoming media properties in their own right, publishing direct-to-audience instead of waiting on journalists to frame their ideas. We're looking for someone who understands that shift, and who can back that instinct with real research and real argument.

We're not hiring a comms hire. We're hiring a narrative engine: someone who can take an idea and push it through essays, threads, and memes until it's the thing people are actually repeating to each other.

Does the Following Resonate?

You move fast and think clearly. You'd rather ship something real than wait for something perfect. You find conventional PR slow, sanitized, and kind of embarrassing, and you have a better instinct for what actually lands with smart people. You're already using AI tools not because someone told you to, but because you were curious. You write like a person, not a press release. You can walk into a room, figure out what matters, verify it against a primary source, and turn it into something worth reading before the day is out. You read the Economist and The Free Press for fun, and even when you disagree with their ideas, you appreciate the design.

You live inside the US media ecosystem, not next to it. You know how Silicon Valley Twitter talks, argues, and dunks on itself. You've watched a format mutate through fifty accounts in a day and could tell someone why the fortieth version was funnier than the first.

You know that the story and the truth are never actually in tension. The skill is finding the angle where they're the same thing. Bad news doesn't scare you; it's just a narrative problem you haven't solved yet.

If that's you, keep reading.

What You'll Do (The Mandate)

• Extract the Idea: Interview founders directly. Pull out the original thinking buried in a rambling conversation and turn it into an argument someone can actually follow.
• Verify Before You Publish: Research and check claims against primary sources. We go direct, but we don't go sloppy.
• Own the Distribution: Build and run channels that are actually ours, not rented reach. A big audience that hears from us often, and wants to, because we deliver on the same promise every time.
• Be Habit-Forming: A newsletter people open. A feed people check. Consistency compounds. The goal isn't a viral spike, it's an audience that comes back on its own.
• Insert Ideas Into Existing Frames: Don't build a new mental model from scratch. Find the framework already sitting in someone's head and hook the new idea onto it. That's how ideas actually spread.
• Execute a Timeline Takeover: When it's launch day, you can win the internet for a day: video, posts, a sharp interview, memes, all landing the same 24 hours, not spread out over a slow agency timeline.
• Craft a Narrative: Distill complex ideas into compelling, unfiltered stories that win the battle for attention and preferential attachment, while preserving the founder's actual voice.
• One Idea, Many Formats: Take a single conversation and turn it into an essay, a newsletter, a launch narrative, an investor briefing, a speech, and a run of social posts, without it feeling recycled five times over.
• Operate the Tools: Manage and grow our Substack, run high-impact social campaigns across X and Instagram, and leverage cutting-edge AI video and audio tools to generate assets at startup speed.
• Run the Calendar: Own the editorial cadence. What publishes when, and why now.
