The newsroom is our way to drive speed, editorial judgment, and high-quality content — while maintaining more traditional communications responsibilities like earned media, executive thought leadership, and narrative development.</p> <p>If you have strong news and editorial instincts and are energized by building something new, doing some of your best creative work, and leading a team, this is the right environment.</p> <h2><strong>What you'll do</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Own and evolve Amplitude's global communications strategy.</strong> Set the narrative direction across press, executive communications, and owned channels. Ensure Amplitude has a clear, consistent point of view in the market and that it shows up across multiple formats and audiences.</li> <li><strong>Lead earned media and rapid response.</strong> Drive PR strategy for product launches, company milestones, and market moments. Develop relationships with the journalists and publications that matter for our category. Build the capability to respond to breaking news and industry shifts quickly, with a real point of view rather than a reactive statement.</li> <li><strong>Build executive and brand thought leadership.</strong> Partner closely with the CEO and other senior leaders to craft clear POVs on AI and the future of analytics. Turn those into media, social, and other moments that feel human, distinctive, and repeatable.</li> <li><strong>Strengthen social media channels.</strong> Oversee Amplitude's global social media strategy, including a strong emphasis on executive presence and building social-first campaigns, creator and partner programs, and repeatable formats that drive relevance, credibility, and conversation.</li> <li><strong>Lead AI-forward communications and experimentation.</strong> Translate complex AI capabilities into simple, credible narratives. Design and champion AI-powered workflows across comms and social — research, drafting, measurement, listening — enabling the team to move faster while maintaining quality and brand voice.</li> <li><strong>Build and run an editorial operation.</strong> Establish the systems, cadence, and standards that allow the team to produce integrated content — written, video, social — at the pace the business requires. Run a daily editorial standup. Maintain a forward-looking agenda. Make decisions in the room rather than in a follow-up approval chain.</li> <li><strong>Manage and challenge external partners.</strong> Oversee U.S. and international PR and social agencies as true extensions of the team. Set clear strategies, goals, and metrics; push for creative, AI-savvy ideas; and cut anything that doesn't move the needle.</li> <li><strong>Support high-stakes internal and issues communications.</strong> Partner with people and exec teams on high-impact internal moments and crisis communications. Bring calm judgment, clear storytelling, and a bias toward action when it matters most.</li> </ul> <h
