About The Position

At Kizen, we build technology that makes AI actually work for people. Our platform helps organizations automate the workflows that matter most — from helping insurance agents manage contracting and commissions, to enabling healthcare providers to deliver proactive patient care, to empowering financial institutions to classify documents and extract data automatically. And that’s just the beginning. With Kizen, developers can build new enterprise applications, while business users can customize dashboards and agents using AI, low-code, or code — all on the same platform. The possibilities are limited only by imagination. What used to take months or years to build, configure, and connect now takes just days. Kizen combines powerful pre-built agents and use cases with an enterprise platform for automation and data connection — all built on an AI-first architecture that’s easy to adopt, scale, and trust. We’re not chasing hype. We’re solving real operational problems and helping the world’s most complex organizations work faster, smarter, and more humanely. Join us in transforming how industries work — one workflow, one agent, and one customer success story at a time. Do you love helping the world understand a brand? Help define how the world understands Kizen and how our AI can finally deliver real outcomes for enterprises. We are looking for a hands-on Communications Manager, Marketing with a history of turning complex products into clear stories that earn attention, trust, and demand as we bring our next-gen platform to the world. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for someone who wants to be at the heart of the AI movement to better humanity. As the Communications Manager, Marketing, you’ll be working directly with our VP of Marketing to shape Kizen’s narrative, launch strategy, and external voice — from press and thought leadership to product storytelling and customer proof. In this dynamic role, you’ll lead our efforts responsible for: Messaging & positioning: Own the core story, proof points, and talk tracks that make Kizen instantly understandable and differentiable. Launch communications: Drive integrated communications for product releases, partnerships, and major announcements, ensuring consistency across channels.

Social media & brand voice: Own Kizen’s social presence (especially LinkedIn) by shaping the editorial calendar, writing/overseeing posts, and ensuring our tone stays consistent, confident, and grounded in real product and customer outcomes.
