Role

Who you are

  • We’re looking for someone experienced in building and scaling employee communications functions before, ideally at a high-growth startup
  • That said, while experience is valued, first principles and creative thinking are even more so
  • We’re looking for someone who wants to take a best practice (e.g. , All Hands) and put a new spin on it
  • Someone who can communicate sensitive topics in a way that doesn’t come off as corporate jargon
  • Someone who is constantly experimenting rather than relying on the tried and true
  • You should be comfortable leading through influence and with people of all styles
  • 8+ years experience in communications or related fields, with at least 5 of those focused on employee communications
  • Succinct writing skills that infuse personality and humanity (you write like people talk!)
  • Grace with a backbone – you can work with anyone and aren’t afraid to stand up and disagree
  • A creative spirit who can story-tell across mediums, including video, visual design, and the written word

Desirable

  • Experience in video production, editing, or graphic design
  • Experience creating talent brand programs
  • Experience taking a company public
  • Experience in change management

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for our first Employee Communications hire at Ramp, reporting to the Head of Communications
  • This role comes with a lot of freedom and responsibility
  • You’ll have the opportunity to build from the ground up and take ideas from concept to reality
  • Develop and execute an employee communications strategy that builds and fosters trust in Ramp’s purpose and journey
  • Create unique moments for Ramplings to come together in person and virtually, inspiring pride in what we’re building together
  • Own Ramp’s bi-weekly All Hands – and scale to other offices / virtual setting
  • The person in this role will have a high level of autonomy and act as a trusted advisor to our executive team
  • Partner closely with Comms, People, Finance/IR, and the Executive team on company-wide communications and initiatives
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to our Executive team, helping them more effectively communicate across their teams and identify an effective, authentic communication style
  • In a meeting, if the employee experience is not top of mind, you are the voice to change that
  • Evaluate tools and systems to strengthen solutions for keeping Ramplings connected, and define a channel strategy for company-wide communications

Our take

Ramp provides companies with a dual offering of corporate cards and a spending management dashboard. The dashboard allows companies to oversee their costs, automate manual accounting practices, reimburse out-of-pocket spending, and earn cashback on financial outlays.

Founded in 2019 and coming out of stealth in 2020, the company has already reached a valuation of a whopping $8.1 billion in early 2022. Its clients include several big-name companies including fast-growth health tech startup Ro, Planned Parenthood, and Truebill. 90% of its customers have made the switch from legacy players such as Expensify and Concur, showing that Ramp provides real customer value.

The team that built Ramp is the same one that launched the automated price tracking company Paribus before selling it to Capital One. It is now focused on scoping out more M&A opportunities and boosting its headcount to support investing in its software and going into new verticals.
