About the role
Nash is a logistics AI company that moves real things in the real world. Its platform plans, dispatches and adjusts deliveries for brands like Walmart, 7-Eleven, Ahold Delhaize and Square, including dispatching to drones and autonomous vehicles alongside human drivers.
Backed by a16z and Y Combinator, Nash is hiring its first Head of Corporate Communications to tell the story of autonomic logistics: systems that plan, run and improve delivery operations continuously on their own.
You'll own how Nash is understood by press, analysts, the team, customers' executives and the wider market. You'll report to the Chief Growth Officer and work closely with the CEO on his external voice, alongside a small, senior, fast-moving team.
What you'll do
- Own Nash's corporate narrative across press, analysts, customers, partners and our own team, working alongside Product Marketing, which owns product positioning.
- Build our media program across business, technology and trade press, including supply chain, retail, grocery and the growing autonomous delivery beat.
- Build analyst relations from scratch, so autonomic logistics becomes a category analysts can describe accurately, with Nash as the reference point.
- Prepare our CEO and senior leaders as spokespeople, each with a recognizable voice and a clear point of view.
- Own internal communications, so the team hears important news from us before they read it anywhere else.
- Turn customer wins into public proof, making sure every figure can survive a reporter asking how it was calculated.
- Own issues and crisis management, along with speaking, awards and agency relationships.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years in communications, with in-house leadership at a high-growth B2B technology company, or senior agency experience and a real appetite to move in-house.
- Has built or led an analyst relations program for a complex enterprise platform.
- Real relationships with business, technology and trade press, and a track record of placing stories there.
- Has prepared C-level executives as spokespeople.
- Uses Claude (or an equivalent LLM) as a core part of how you research, prepare and work, well beyond copy editing.
- Exceptional writing, strong opinions held loosely, and the discretion to hear everything first.
- Editorial judgment: know the difference between something we'd like to announce and something a reporter wants to write about.
- Business fluency: understand why a grocer buys from us and what a technical buyer pushes back on.
- Composure: have a plan and ensure the right people know what to say when an AI mistake in the physical world becomes a story.
- Location: Bay Area (hybrid) or US remote.
Nice to have
- Experience on the analyst side.
- Category creation at an infrastructure, logistics or autonomy company.
- A public writing presence of your own.
