Director, Fintech + AI

Who We’re Looking For

You understand how financial technology companies earn trust, differentiate in crowded markets, and explain why their products matter. You can connect a payments, banking, lending, or financial infrastructure story to the bigger business conversation without losing the details that make it credible.

You’ll thrive in fast-paced environments, love quick turnarounds, and enjoy working as an extension of our clients’ teams.

• Navigate nuanced stories about trust, regulation, and financial products, working closely with client teams to keep claims clear and accurate.

What You Bring

• 6–12 years of experience in communications, public relations, marketing, or journalism, including meaningful experience with fintech or financial services companies and demonstrated success managing client relationships.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• A natural sense of urgency, enabling you to focus on the things that matter with exceptional organization, time management, and the ability to consistently meet deadlines. 
• Comfort interfacing with clients and media 
• Strong understanding of the fintech, financial services, business, and technology media landscapes, with reporter relationships and a track record of securing meaningful earned media.
• The ability to translate complex financial products and market developments into sharp, accessible stories for business and consumer audiences.
• A collaborative, can-do attitude
