Head of Corporate Communications & Brand

Key Responsibilities

Executive Communications & Thought Leadership

• Partner with Product Marketing and Technical Marketing to ensure brand consistency without diluting product-level and technical messaging.

• Ensure a consistent corporate story across investor materials, careers and recruiting content, the website, and public-facing channels.
• Partner with HR and executive leadership on employer branding and recruiting communications.
• Work with the CTO to ensure the corporate narrative accurately and credibly reflects Silith’s technology vision and roadmap direction.
