Company mission
To empower everyone to solve their most impactful problems through data-centric AI.
Role
Who you are
- Ability to be in our Redwood City office at least 3 days a week
- A minimum of 10+ years of communications B2B enterprise software experience crossing both agency and in-house
- Established relationships and references from media and influencers who cover enterprise software (preferably in data or BI)
- Experience managing Gartner relationships with proven ability to maintain regular briefing cadence
- Experience managing an agency
- Experience working with cross-functional teams like product marketing, product, and engineering
- Demonstrated experience (with examples) executing well-written and strategic communications (e.g. press releases, media pitches, Op-Eds, speaking abstracts, and award submissions)
- Strong writer and editor with experience translating complex, sophisticated, and technical concepts into compelling stories that resonate with practitioner audience and buyers in the C-suite
- Self-motivated, creative, and curious approach to storytelling
- Excellent time management skills; knowing when to say yes and when to say no
What the job involves
- In this highly collaborative role, you will manage the communications rhythm of the business, working with a diverse set of stakeholders to help drive alignment around our storytelling efforts
- You will be directly responsible for program management and reporting across media, influencer and industry analyst relations
- Media relations:
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders across the executive team, product and marketing teams to develop compelling narratives and work with our PR agency partners to secure coverage. This is a very fast moving and chatty space - coverage inclusion is critical
- Maintain a steady drumbeat of news from customer, partner and product momentum
- Develop a regular reporting cadence to measure program effectiveness and efficiency
- Draft high-volume of well-written and strategic external materials (press releases, media pitches, speaking abstracts, and award submissions)
- Analyst relations:
- Work closely with key spokespeople to develop strategic relationships at Gartner. Our product and research teams are extremely capable spokespeople, so this program will be about repetition, execution and scale - less so about developing analyst narratives and more about keeping Snorkel front and center with influential analysts
- Support marketing efforts with other analyst firms as needed to produce content and ensure competitive positioning in any vendor comparison reports as analysts initiate that type of coverage in AI (Waves, etc.)
- Agency management:
- Agencies are a critical part of our marketing team. Strong relationships with the agencies are the only way for us to scale our impact. This person will be responsible for ensuring PR and social agencies have access to the people and information they need to be successful in their work
- Data Analysis and Reporting:
- Understand and document what matters. Not every article, not every publication, not every conversation. We are focused on quality over quantity and need a leader who can identify and capture the needle mover opportunities. Develop a set of objectives and KPIs that help the company understand where our communications program is strong and where we all need to lean in
Our take
Demand for AI is increasing in almost every industry, but the machine learning that fuels it is tedious to set up. In order to train machine learning algorithms, training data must be labelled manually, and this contributes to expenses in time, money and resources when integrating AI within a business.
Snorkel AI develops programmatic approaches to data labelling in order to automate the setup process of machine learning and decrease the required timeframe for a business to begin providing AI services. In addition to these automated data categorization services, the company also integrates data training, management, and analysis into a unified AI-deployment platform.
The complex computer science behind AI setup has resulted in many businesses without computer science backgrounds being left behind, and Snorkel AI has set this as their target audience. And recently, the company raised some serious funding which it plans to use to expand the company;'s engineering, research, and go-to-market efforts.
