How you will make an impact:
Opensignal is seeking a seasoned communications leader to serve as the voice, strategist, and architect of our global PR, analyst relations, and internal communications function. As Director of Communications and PR, you will own the narrative infrastructure of an organization that sits at the intersection of data, technology, and the world’s most complex connectivity markets.

This is not a press release factory. This is a strategic seat. You will shape how Opensignal is perceived by the media, the analyst community, and the industry at large — while ensuring our internal leaders are equipped to show up with confidence and clarity in every public moment. You will work directly with the VP of Global Marketing & Communications to design communications strategies that accelerate pipeline, build premium brand authority, and support the company’s growth trajectory.

To do this well, you need to be as comfortable translating a technically complex dataset into a compelling media story as you are managing a global agency relationship or coaching a C-suite executive after a high-stakes briefing. You will operate across time zones, cultures, and stakeholder types — always with the judgment to know what to say, what not to say, and how to protect the integrity of a brand built on independence and objectivity.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Own the Communications Strategy: Develop and execute a comprehensive, integrated communications strategy — spanning PR, analyst relations, and internal communications — that directly advances Opensignal’s business objectives, brand authority, and pipeline growth.
• Lead Media Relations: Serve as a primary spokesperson and the internal owner of all media relationships. You will build and maintain relationships with journalists and outlets across the telecommunications, technology, and business press. You will craft press releases, pitches, and media advisories that land — because they’re grounded in real data and told with a sharp narrative point of view.
• Drive Analyst Relations: Partner closely with Product Marketing to build and manage Opensignal’s presence within the global telecommunications analyst ecosystem. You will own analyst briefings end to end — from relationship development and narrative preparation to logistics and follow-through — and ensure Opensignal’s voice is present in the conversations that shape our industry.
• Shape Content and Messaging: Work directly with the VP of Marketing to adapt and extend corporate messaging across a wide range of formats — op-eds, bylines, executive thought leadership, social content, and internal communications. You will be a senior steward of the Opensignal story, ensuring everything we publish is coherent, compelling, and commercially relevant.
• Build Spokesperson Capability: Serve as the organization’s internal authority on media readiness. You will design and lead spokesperson and media training programs that prepare our executives and subject matter experts to show up on message, on camera, and on brand. You will coach, advise, and hold the standard across the whole organization.
• Manage Budgets and Agency Partnerships: Own the global PR budget with discipline and strategic intent. You will manage relationships with external PR agencies and vendors — setting clear expectations, measuring performance, and ensuring our investment delivers results we can point to.
• Operate with Cultural Fluency: This is a global role in practice, not just in title. You will work comfortably across time zones and cultural contexts, understanding that how you tell the same story across locations requires judgment, nuance, and genuine cultural awareness.
• Protect Brand Independence: Opensignal’s credibility is built on objectivity. You will exercise high judgment at all times when navigating the tension between a robust client ecosystem and a brand that must remain demonstrably neutral. You will know where the lines are — and you will hold them.

About you:

• You are Hungry: You have a “build it, protect it, grow it” mentality. With 10+ years of experience in communications, PR, or journalism — including at least 5 years in a direct PR leadership role — you don’t wait for permission to shape a narrative. You are constantly scanning the landscape for the story we should be telling and the platform we haven’t tapped yet. You are driven by the kind of brand authority that opens doors for Sales after the first call is made.
• You are Humble: You define success by what the business achieves, not what your byline says. You know that the best communications strategy is the one that earns internal trust as well as external attention. You share credit, absorb feedback, and take personal ownership when something doesn’t land the way it should.
• You are People Smart: You can read a room — and a relationship. You understand the different pressures your executive stakeholders, sales partners, and product colleagues face, and you know how to translate complex technical content into stories that resonate with a journalist, an analyst, or a board. You are a trusted advisor, not just a doer.
• Data-Driven & Detail-Oriented: You are comfortable sitting with technically sophisticated datasets and finding the narrative thread that makes them matter to a business audience. You QA everything after it goes out, and you measure the impact of what you put into the world — using media management tools and attribution frameworks to back up your instincts with evidence.
• Lifelong Learner: The telecommunications industry is one of the most technically complex and commercially dynamic sectors on the planet. You are genuinely curious about it. You invest in your own fluency — in the competitive landscape, the regulatory environment, the commercial pressures our customers face — and you bring that intelligence into every story you tell.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations, Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field
• 10+ years of experience in communications, PR, journalism, or an adjacent role; minimum 5 years in a direct PR or communications leadership capacity
• Demonstrated experience in B2B technology or telecommunications — comfort with technically complex products and datasets is non-negotiable
• Strong writing, editing, and public speaking skills across diverse platforms and audiences
• Experience managing external PR agencies and vendor relationships at a global scale
• Proven ability to develop long-term communications strategies and measure campaign effectiveness
• Proficiency with media management software (e.g. Muck Rack, Business Wire) and performance measurement tools
• Cultural fluency and demonstrated experience operating across global markets and time zones
