Role
Who you are
- Bachelors in Engineering, Communications, Business, Government or a related field with 2+ years of relevant experience
- Demonstrated experience in technical writing, communications, marketing, investor relations, or product marketing
- Proven ability to work with highly technical subject matter and extract clear, compelling narratives from engineers and experts for non-technical audiences
- Strong writing and slide design skills with hands-on ownership of written content, data visualization, and visual layout (PowerPoint, Google Slides)
- Comfortability establishing ownership while operating in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment, with an eye for detail and product consistency
- To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
Desirable
- 3–5 years in a writing-heavy, content-forward, or communications-focused role, ideally at a defense tech, aerospace, satellite, or similarly technical company
- Background in a STEM field or strong communications training, ideally both, with the ability to hold your own in a room of engineers and translate for a variety of audiences (including government customers, commercial customers, peer satellite companies, and investors)
- Experience developing and owning communications or messaging strategy, crafting narrative frameworks for a product line or brand
- Experience translating data and metrics into clear, persuasive charts and visuals
- Familiarity with government procurement, proposal writing, or Government contracting
- Strong editorial judgment and a low tolerance for jargon and filler
- Prior experience at a high-growth startup or early-stage company where communications and/or marketing function was being built, not inherited
What the job involves
- Array Labs is looking for a Technical Communications Lead to shape how we tell our story to customers, investors, and partners
- This is a hands-on strategic communications and content role at a fast-moving company: you'll be writing, designing, and producing the materials that represent Array Labs in high-stakes conversations
- From investor presentations to government capability briefs to one-pager pitches, you will help define how Array Labs positions itself in the market, shaping the narrative architecture underpinning our external engagement across the board
- Your work will sit at the center of how Array Labs presents itself to the world
- Partner with leadership to develop messaging strategy for new markets, product launches, and high-stakes business development pursuits as the company and products mature
- Own Array Labs' overarching narrative framework, defining how the company is positioned, with differentiators and mission sets across all external audiences
- Collaborate closely with engineering, business development, and brand design to translate highly technical content into accessible, compelling narratives
- Build and maintain pitch decks, sales presentations, and briefing materials for government and commercial audiences
- Write clear, persuasive copy that communicates Array Labs' value proposition and products across different contexts and buyers
- Design slide layouts and produce data visualization content to make complex technical concepts intuitive, accessible, and compelling
- Contribute to proposal,RFP responses, and marketing material; translating requirements into winning narratives
Application process
- We will conduct interviews via Google Meet with the potential for an onsite visit; the typical process takes around 3-5 weeks to complete from start to finish
Our take
3D imaging is a growing market important to a wide array of industries, including climate action, defence, and insurance analytics. However, data supply chains from the satellites that provide this imaging to the people processing it are slow and expensive. Array Labs is developing innovative satellite imaging that can be delivered to its users almost in real-time.
Array Labs has taken part in two reputable accelerators since it was founded in 2021, and is attracting investors thanks to its plans to create a multifunctional 3D imaging satellite constellation above the Earth. Whilst this idea has been in play for decades, it is only recently that the dataset technology has caught up with the concept, and Array Labs is paving the way.
There’s still much work to be done to realise Array's ultimate vision, but it has got off to a promising start and has good funding at its back. Taking on the work ahead of it will rely heavily on partnerships with preexisting satellite companies.
