Position Overview Tiberius Aerospace is seeking a Head of Communications to define how the world understands the company. This is not a traditional corporate communications role. We are not looking for someone to manage an inherited playbook, maintain a routine press calendar, or simply react to the business as it evolves.

This role will work directly with the CEO, founders, CMO, product leaders, engineers, government teams, customers, and partners to shape not only what Tiberius says, but when it says it, who says it, and why it matters. The ideal candidate is an exceptional writer, editor, strategist, and operator with strong judgment, high standards, and the ability to move quickly in an environment where timelines shift, information is incomplete, and the stakes are high.
