Media Relations Lead

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.

• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.

• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

The Public Affairs Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Earn the public's permission to build at a pace no one has. Gigawatt campuses across all regions in the US, each needing community trust before steel goes up.

• Make Fluidstack the most welcomed builder in every town we enter. Local-first engagement, enforceable community commitments, and household bills that never carry our costs.

• Tell the story of American reindustrialization through the work itself. Third-party validators, local voices, and earned coverage that compounds as the portfolio grows.

Role Scope

• Own media relationships at the local, state, and national levels, giving backgrounds and coordinating on-the-record comments so Fluidstack's story is told accurately to the right audience at the right time.

• Partner with external PR firms across sites and states, briefing them and directing their work so company interests are represented and internal teams are fully supported.

• Run the local announcement playbook end to end for each new site: press releases, local media tours, open houses, and milestone moments from permits locked to ribbon cutting.

• Build briefing materials, Q&A, and prep for every spokesperson moment, from a county open house to a founder's national interview.

• Field and triage inbound press across a multi-state portfolio, knowing when to engage, when to background, and when silence is the strategic answer.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've worked inside a PR agency and on the client side directing one, so you know how to brief a firm, push its work to the standard, and get full value from a retainer.

• You've run press in political or government settings where a single wrong quote carries real consequences, and your judgment on when not to engage is as sharp as your pitch.

• You've told the story of physical infrastructure at scale (data centers, energy, utilities, or large capital projects) to audiences ranging from skeptical locals to national reporters.

• You've created press events from scratch: announcements, open houses, site tours, ribbon cuttings, and the media moments that turn a milestone into coverage.

• You carry working relationships across all three altitudes of media, from the county weekly to the statehouse press corps to national desks, and you know which story belongs where.

• You write fast and clean under deadline: releases, statements, talking points, and backgrounders that need no second pass.

• Bonus: Hyperscale or data center industry coverage knowledge. Crisis and issues communications. Political campaign or statehouse press experience. Spanish-language media fluency.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
