• Lead the content marketing, communications, and brand design teams and functions, overseeing all brand creative, narrative, and storytelling assets across channels and formats.
• Develop and execute integrated brand campaigns that build awareness, reinforce category leadership, and drive resonance with key audiences.
• Partner with the cofounders and executive team on corporate narrative development, including thought leadership, speeches, and executive communications.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with community and event leads to shape the brand expression of these initiatives — ensuring consistency, quality, and emotional impact in field marketing and experiential design.
• Work closely with product marketing and GTM to translate complex ideas into compelling brand narratives across use cases, personas, and policy themes.
• Oversee Altana’s brand presence across digital channels, including our website, social media, and owned content platforms — growing reach and influence.
• Support strategic media and ecosystem relationship-building, in partnership with communications and growth teams.
• Establish and track brand KPIs, including awareness, perception, engagement, and content performance — using insights to optimize strategy and execution.

You Have

• A brand and marketing leader with 10+ years of experience building high-impact brands in complex, data-driven, or mission-driven industries.
• Proven ability to define and scale brand identity, content strategy, and design systems in high-growth or category-creation environments.
• Deep understanding – if not fluency – in economics, geopolitics, and international relations topics in order to reach audiences in the public sector, while translating dense topics for broad private sector audiences.
• Experience managing PR and communications for the business, including external agency vendors and internal staff.
• Deep expertise in content marketing, storytelling, and creative direction across formats — from thought leadership and editorial to digital and visual assets.
• A compelling communicator and collaborator, able to align senior stakeholders and drive cross-functional initiatives forward.
• Strategic and hands-on — able to set vision and directly shape execution when needed.
