Senior Director, Public Relations

Overview The best-kept secret in enterprise AI. Your job is to make sure it doesn't stay that way. Every agentic workflow in the enterprise depends on surfacing the right information at the right moment. Coveo is the AI-powered search and discovery platform behind companies like Intel, Dell, and Abbott, and a recognized Magic Quadrant leader. The market needs to hear our story, with a customer proof that is extraordinary, a sharp product point of view, and a growing category. This role owns the narrative, the strategy, and the execution to ensure the right buyers and media hear it. We’ve invested in top-tier PR agencies in the US and Canada, with plans to expand globally. This is an opportunity to build a global communications function from the ground up, with executive support and funding to scale. Responsibilities The narrative: Shape a differentiated story connecting our product vision, the market shift, and what our customers achieve – and make it land with enterprise buyers. A global function, built in stages: deploy the US and Canada agency budget now, prove what works, then expand into Europe and Australia. Getting us on the map: Build the earned-media engine from the ground up – top-tier business and tech press, podcasts, and the channels where our buyers pay attention – and lead the agency partnerships that scale it. Customer storytelling: Turn marquee customers into compelling, repeatable proof points — not buried case studies, but stories people remember. Social and brand voice: Own our social presence and give Coveo a voice that's confident, credible, and worth following. Cross-functional narrative leadership: Align marketing, product, and sales behind one story – and arm our executives to tell it well. The big moments: Drive integrated communications around product launches, Gartner MQs, partnerships, and major announcements. Qualifications 15+ years of public relations experience, ideally in enterprise B2B technology or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS); proven track record of securing top-tier media coverage and building strong journalist relationships. Strong strategic planning capabilities combined with hands-on execution excellence. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technologies into clear business narratives. What would make you stand out Experience scaling global public relations programs through agency partnerships. Background supporting executive thought leadership initiatives at the C-level.
