Head of Communications
Lisbon/Paris · Hybrid · Full-time
About the role
A fast-growing, multi-market European scale-up is hiring a Head of Communications to own how the company tells its story - externally and internally. You'll report directly to the CEO and turn strategy into a narrative that partners, investors, media, talent, and the team actually feel. Build role: shape a category leader's reputation from the inside.
What you'll own
Communications strategy across all markets, in lockstep with CEO and leadership
Press and media relations - build journalist relationships, land the stories, manage agency partners per market
Social presence and tone of voice - turn scale and performance into content that pulls in talent, partners, and customers
Internal comms across a distributed team - company updates, CEO messaging, the rituals that keep a fast-growing company aligned
Complex, technical, operational business made simple - in a press release, a LinkedIn post, an all-hands, an investor narrative
One direct report + a network of agencies across markets - set the brief, hold the bar, keep the story coherent
Brand and reputation management, including high-stakes moments
Comms measurement - share of voice, reach, sentiment, tied to commercial and talent goals
What you bring
8+ years in communications: PR, social, and internal comms - ideally agency + in-house, in a scale-up or high-growth environment
International Experience from enterprise to high-growth tech companies is a must
Storytelling with a track record of shifting perception, not just producing activity
Hands-on PR/media relations experience, managing agencies across multiple markets
Experience building or running internal comms for a distributed team
Comfort operating directly with a CEO and leadership team
Fluent English; Portuguese a strong plus; other languages a bonus
Player-coach: strategic enough to set direction, hands-on enough to write the post yourself
What's on offer
Private health insurance, flexible hours, annual team offsite, regular team events, English training, office perks.
