Executive Communications Manager

BuildOps•Los Angeles, CA

26d•$100,000 - $140,000•Hybrid

About The Position

You'll be the CEO's communications engine-turning strategy into narratives that move customers, partners, media, analysts, recruits, and employees. This B2B role sits in Marketing and works shoulder-to-shoulder with Brand/Comms, Product Marketing, Demand Gen, People Ops, Sales/CS leadership, and the CEO's office. You'll ghostwrite with credibility, run a tight editorial cadence, and convert every CEO moment into measurable impact.

Requirements

5-8 years in B2B executive communications, PR/content, or analyst-facing roles (vertical SaaS or construction/field service/industrial tech a plus).
Elite ghostwriting and speechwriting chops-comfortable with technical topics and data-backed arguments.
Media fluency: you can craft compelling pitches, prep executives, and navigate interviews.
Social instincts: you know how to grow executive channels with credibility (not clickbait).
Editorial operations discipline: calendars, approvals, QC, and on-time delivery.
Data-literate: you measure content quality, reach in ICP, and business impact; you iterate based on signal.
Grace under pressure; excellent judgment on sensitive topics and crisis response.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with tools like HubSpot/Salesforce, Google Workspace, Notion, Figma, simple video/clip workflows.

Partner with PR (agency) on story mining, pitch angles, embargoes, and briefings.
Create media briefs, Q&A, data points, and proof stories; provide day-of support and follow-ups.

Coordinate CEO inputs for analyst briefings and investor storytelling; ensure metrics and claims are accurate and consistent.
Stand up light editorial ops (intake, pipeline, approval SLAs, asset library, newsroom page).
Build dashboards for exec comms performance: quality coverage/SOV, stage wins, CEO social engagement in ICP, sourced meetings, and post-event impact on pipeline.
