Head of Communications

About the Company

Armada is an edge computing startup that provides computing infrastructure to remote areas where connectivity and cloud infrastructure is limited, as well as areas where data needs to be processed locally for real-time analytics and AI at the edge. We’re looking to bring on the most brilliant minds to help further our mission of bridging the digital divide with advanced technology infrastructure that can be rapidly deployed anywhere.

Head of Communications (Growth) 
Reports to: Head of Growth · Location: San Francisco (HQ), Seattle, or Los Angeles 

Why this role exists 

Armada is building the definitive industrial edge platform—using connectivity, compute, and AI to solve customers’ hardest problems at the source of their data. To reach the next wave of customers and keep our team rowing in unison, we need one owner for how we communicate externally and internally. Operating as a hands‑on individual contributor (with support from the broader Growth team), you’ll shape the voice that moves our market and rallies our team. 

What you’ll do 

• Build a high‑velocity content engine. Create and execute an integrated communications strategy across 𝕏, LinkedIn, web, email, events, and earned media. Own the editorial calendar, define success metrics, and adapt in real time. 
• Own Armada’s PR playbook. Define the narrative, set the cadence, and manage our PR agency to land Armada in the outlets that influence tech, national‑security, and energy conversations. 
• Lead internal communications. Partner closely with the Office of the CEO to deliver regular updates—wins, product news, and company announcements—so every teammate knows where we are, where we’re headed, and why it matters. 
• Protect and evolve our voice. Maintain brand guardrails to ensure every message reflects our direct, value‑first tone. No fluff. No cringe. 
• Instrument and iterate. Stand up tools and dashboards to track share of voice, social growth, engagement, and qualified leads—doubling down on what works, cutting what doesn’t. 
• Drive executive communications.  Partner with the Office of the CEO to craft speeches, op‑eds, posts, and talking points that reinforce Armada’s vision and keep leadership consistently on‑message. 
• Collaborate cross‑functionally. Work with Design, Demand Generation, Product Marketing, and Events to help craft effective content across the Armada ecosystem. 

Required qualifications 

• 10 years in communications, content marketing, or journalism for high‑growth B2B or deep‑tech companies—ideally where hardware meets software (industrial, space, defense, IoT). 
• Proven success owning social channels and landing coverage that moves markets. 
• Exceptional writing chops—you can turn complex technical concepts into a 280‑character hook or a one‑pager that closes deals. 
• Hands‑on operator comfortable as the lone in‑house comms lead, coordinating execs, designers, and an external PR agency. 
• Demonstrated ability to secure meaningful press wins, grow social presence, and drive measurable top‑of‑funnel impact. 

Bonus points for SEO expertise, multimedia storytelling skills, brand copywriting, and experience in space, autonomous systems, or national‑security tech.
