Lead, Public Relations & Industry Communications

$161k - $221.5k

Faire Inc

Lead, Industry Communications & Customer Storytelling Join to apply for the Lead, Industry Communications & Customer Storytelling role at Faire About Faire Faire is an online wholesale marketplace built on the belief that the future is local—independent retailers around the globe are doing more revenue than Walmart and Amazon combined, but individually, they are small compared to these massive entities. At Faire, we’re using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the world. Picture your favorite boutique in town—we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so that small businesses everywhere can compete with these big box and e‑commerce giants. About This Role Faire is defining the future of local commerce by powering the global wholesale market. As Lead, Industry Communications & Customer Storytelling , you will be leading the execution of the Thought Leadership, Data, and Customer Advocacy Strategy. This role focuses on positioning Faire as the wholesale, retail expert and customer‑obsessed partner by transforming industry insights, data, and customer achievements into powerful earned media and rapid communications programs. What You’ll Do Retail Thought Leadership & Customer Championing Thought Leadership Execution: Lead the creation and execution of differentiated communications strategies that solidify Faire’s position as the foremost expert on wholesale, retail, and small business trends. Media prep: Equip Faire spokespeople for high‑impact media engagements across podcasts, digital publications, and emerging channels by delivering strategic briefing materials and maintaining a unified, data‑backed narrative. Customer Narrative Ownership: Work directly with the Sales Team to identify and promote customer narratives. Develop high‑impact programs to feature customer stories and achievements that reinforce Faire's commitment to partner success (e.g., showcasing time/money savings and business growth). Execute Vertical Strategy: Design and execute communications strategies that resonate with key retailer and brand verticals, effectively expanding Faire’s reach across various customer segments. Influencer & Expert Partnerships: Execute the strategy to collaborate with influential voices who shape retail and wholesale conversations, equipping them with insights to reinforce Faire’s expertise beyond our own product. Data Program Strategy, Rapid Response, and Media Authority Data Program Creation & Execution: Lead the effort to build our external data strategy. This includes defining and identifying key market trends and data gaps, and translating raw proprietary insights into compelling, digestible narratives for external stakeholders. Media and Authority Strategy: Work with internal partners to source and package proprietary insights regularly across owned and earned channels to drive authority and secure placement alongside leading consumer data sources. Rapid Response Program: Drive our rapid response program for industry‑related media issues, ensuring swift, data‑backed communications on breaking news, overnight trends and competitive actions within the wholesale and retail sector. Media Relationship Management: Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with relevant trade and trend reporters to establish Faire as a trusted data source for validating industry movements. Product Value & Innovation Value Reinforcement: Support major product announcements by ensuring the narrative focuses entirely on how the product saves customers time and grows their business, rather than the technology itself. Product Milestone Leveraging: Utilize expansion and adoption metrics to pitch product success narratives to trade outlets, always emphasizing the tangible customer impact. Qualifications Experience: 8‑10 years of progressive experience in communications, industry marketing, or thought leadership within a B2B SaaS, Marketplace, or SMB environment. Rapid Response Acumen: Proven experience developing and executing rapid, high‑stakes, reactive media strategies that protect and enhance corporate reputation. Customer‑Centric Storytelling: Exceptional ability to synthesize complex platform benefits into clear, compelling narratives that prioritize customer value and success. Data Translation Mastery: Deep comfort translating raw customer and market data into citable, high‑impact external media assets. Vertical Media Acumen: Proven ability to cultivate relationships with influential vertical and trade media to secure high‑quality earned coverage focused on industry expertise. Salary Range San Francisco: the pay range for this role is $161,000 to $221,500 per year. This role will also be eligible for equity and benefits. Actual base pay will be determined based on permissible factors such as transferable skills, work experience, market demands, and primary work location. The base pay range provided is subject to change and may be modified in the future. Hybrid Work Schedule Hybrid Faire employees currently go into the office 2 days per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Effective starting in January 2026, employees will be expected to go into the office on a third flex day of their choosing (Monday, Wednesday, or Friday). Hybrid in‑office roles may work remotely up to 4 weeks per year. Specific workplace and information technology positions may require onsite attendance 5 days per week as indicated in the job posting. Why you’ll love working at Faire We are entrepreneurs: Faire is built for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs. We believe entrepreneurship is a calling and our mission is to empower entrepreneurs to chase their dreams. Every member of our team is part of the founding process. We use technology and data to level the playing field: We leverage the power of product innovation and machine learning to connect brands and boutiques worldwide, building a community of more than 350,000 small business owners. We build products our customers love: Everything we do is ultimately in the service of helping our customers grow their business because our goal is to grow the pie—not steal a piece from it. Running a small business is hard work, but Faire makes it easier. We are curious and resourceful: Inquisitive by default, we explore every possibility, test every assumption, and develop creative solutions. We lead with curiosity and data in our decision making, and reason from a first‑principles mentality.
