Product and B2B Communications Manager

San Bruno, California

Mill is all about answering a simple question: how can we prevent waste? Less waste can save time, money, energy, maybe even our planet. And there’s no better place to start than food. Food waste is one of the most solvable climate problems facing us today. Plus, our trash really stinks. It’s gross, heavy, and our least favorite chore. At Mill we are striving to build a better environment for all, as we take on climate and kitchen change.

Role Description

We’re looking for a strategic and highly detail-oriented Product and B2B Communications Manager to lead and execute media-facing initiatives that showcase our technology, business momentum, and mission. This role sits at the intersection of product marketing, storytelling, and media relations, and will be instrumental in shaping how we communicate with partners, customers, and the public.

You’ll work closely with product, partnerships, and executive teams to translate complex innovations into compelling narratives that resonate with journalists, stakeholders, and the broader market. The ideal candidate brings 5–7 years of communications experience, excellent writing skills, a track record of high-impact media placements, and a passion for food, sustainability, and technology that makes a difference.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute communications strategies in partnership with product, business, and leadership teams to support product launches, B2B initiatives, and company milestones.
  • Drive proactive media outreach, cultivating strong relationships with journalists and editors in B2B tech, climate, food systems, and business press.
  • Craft high-quality content including press releases, briefing documents, blog posts, executive messaging, Q&As, and media statements.
  • Prepare executives and subject matter experts for interviews, panels, and press interactions through briefings, messaging guidance, and media training.
  • Identify and shape stories that align with broader industry trends and resonate with our core audiences—including media, partners, and customers.
  • Monitor and analyze media coverage to measure impact and share insights with internal stakeholders.
  • Plan and support media-facing events, virtual and in-person, including journalist roundtables, product demos, and thought leadership panels.
  • Stay on top of relevant industry news, competitive developments, and market trends to inform communications strategies and messaging.

Requirements

  • 5–7 years of experience in public relations, corporate communications, or journalism, with a strong focus on B2B or product communications.
  • Proven media relationships and experience securing coverage in top-tier tech, business, and B2B outlets.
  • Exceptional writing and editing skills—able to turn complex or technical topics into clear, engaging content.
  • Sharp editorial judgment and an eye for compelling, newsworthy stories.
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented with strong project management abilities.
  • Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and manage multiple initiatives on deadline.
  • Strong understanding of the technology and B2B media landscape.
  • Mission-driven mindset with a passion for food and sustainability.
  • Based in or willing to relocate to San Bruno, CA, with the ability to travel as needed (approx. 10–20%).

Bonus:

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
