- Minimum of 5 years' experience in corporate communications, public relations, or a related field, with demonstrated experience managing social media for a corporate brand. Experience in a B2B SaaS, AI, high-growth tech, or public policy environment is highly preferred
- Proven track record of securing high-tier media placements and managing relationships with influential press

- Strategic mind with the ability to translate complex technology and business challenges into compelling, simple communication stories

What the job involves
- Altana is looking for a strategic and versatile Senior Communications Manager to drive our external messaging, manage media relations, and execute high-impact communication and social media strategies
- This role is central to shaping how Altana is perceived by the media, customers, and the broader industry, requiring a blend of creative content creation, media strategy, and corporate communications expertise
- Corporate Communications & PR: Manage developing and distributing press releases, developing pitches with Altana’s media agency, and coordinating and staffing press briefings and events with senior Altana leaders. You will also be responsible for developing thought leadership content with senior executives
- Social Media Strategy & Management: Develop, execute, and oversee Altana's comprehensive LinkedIn strategy to drive engagement, thought leadership, and brand awareness. This includes writing and scheduling compelling social media copy, managing the content calendar, and partnering with brand design on engaging social media assets. Monitor LinkedIn and engage with the audience
- External Communications & Content: Serve as a writer for high-level external communications. This includes writing compelling copy for corporate newsletters, key corporate announcements, and crisis communications
- Media Relations & Consistency: Oversee the earned media strategy for key product announcements and campaigns, working closely with integrated marketing managers to ensure consistency and impact across all channels
Our take
Altana’s platform provides a shared source of truth for the global supply chain. The idea is that this will help businesses and governing powers optimize global commerce which, over the past few years, has shot up on the list of international priorities. With three quarters of businesses reporting recent supply chain disruptions, and governments increasingly concerned with mitigating security threats, data-driven visibility is more sought after than ever before.
Crucially, the platform doesn’t require data sharing to create global intelligence, instead using a federated machine learning approach. This is a nut many big-data companies have been trying to crack, and Altana’s success has attracted interest from top-tier investors like Google Ventures and Floating Point alongside contracts with the UK Department of Business & Trade. A number of other headline enterprises and government agencies are already on the company's customer roster.
With companies looking to recoup some of the $4T reportedly lost in supply chain disruptions over recent years, and the push for global databases getting stronger, logistics startups are having a fruitful investment period. Altana is crafting a remarkable product at a highly marketable time, and with good uptake so far. Backed by substantial funding, Altana is set for a strong few years.
