Overview:

Lead Edge Capital is hiring a Communications Coordinator to serve as a hands-on, jack-of-all-trades partner to the Chief Communications Officer. This person will support content creation and repurposing, day-to-day LinkedIn management, value creation communications across the portfolio, and help expand the firm's media presence and bench of spokespeople. The role is well suited to someone who can move fluidly between strategic thinking and execution, including writing, project management, and relationship-building.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Content & Editorial

• Audit existing content (webinars, decks, articles, past coverage) and identify what can be refreshed or repackaged into evergreen assets.
• Create new content (thought leadership, LinkedIn posts, newsletters, talking points) tailored to founders and existing/prospective LPs as primary audiences.
• Maintain an editorial calendar and content library for consistent cadence and to ensure nothing goes stale or unused.
• Use AI tools to support content development, repurposing, and multimedia creation, including videos and visual assets, and introduce best practices to improve communications workflows.

LinkedIn & Digital Strategy

• Work with the Chief Communications Officer to build and manage a LinkedIn content strategy for the firm and its partners, including posting cadence, formats, and performance tracking.
• Turn long-form content into a pipeline of shorter, platform-native posts.

Value Creation Communications

• Track existing and upcoming portfolio company projects and milestones as an ongoing comms pipeline.
• Draft announcement materials, media lists, press releases, and communications plans for portfolio company news.
• Over time, build cross-portfolio toolkits and templates so portfolio companies can self-serve on standard comms needs.
• Help plan and execute an inaugural cross-portfolio communications summit in NYC.

Media & Spokesperson Development

• Identify and build relationships with new media platforms, particularly podcasts and newsletters, to diversify beyond traditional trade press.
• Help develop additional spokespeople for the firm beyond Managing Partners, including identifying pitch angles, prepping talking points, and identifying opportunities for other partners to build public profiles.

Requirements:

• 3–6 years of experience in communications, content, or marketing; PE, VC, or financial services experience is a plus, but not required.
• Strong writer who can adapt tone across formats: LinkedIn, press materials, investor-facing content.
• Ability to own projects end-to-end and work independently with minimal oversight in a lean team environment.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to track multiple portfolio company workstreams simultaneously.
• Advanced proficiency with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, etc., with demonstrated ability to apply them to content creation while maintaining accuracy, quality, and brand voice.
• Genuinely curious and proactive about media, with a finger on the pulse of emerging trends: new podcasts, shows, and up and coming reporters worth building relationships with early.
• This is an in-person role based in New York or Santa Barbara. Applicants must be in or willing to relocate to the New York or Santa Barbara area.

Compensation

• The budgeted base salary range is $100,000-$130,000. Total compensation will include base salary and performance-based bonus. Total package will be commensurate with qualifications and experience and will be highly competitive relative to market. Actual pay will be adjusted based on experience.
