About Gigs

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly. Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity. Our team of around 100 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify, we're tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless. If you're driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As our Head of Communications, you'll shape how Gigs shows up. We are the first in our category and our ambition is to build a beloved brand. In partnership with Gigs' leadership, marketing, people, and product teams, you will design and execute a communications strategy that builds our reputation, attracts enterprise customers, and top talent. Gigs is at a unique inflection point and we have lots of stories to tell. The ideal candidate combines exceptional strategic storytelling skills with strong execution to turn these stories into headlines.

What you'll do

Build our communications function : Run a communications function that catalyzes Gigs' growth and brand ambitions.

Shape and evolve Gigs company narrative : Working closely with internal teams, partners, and customers, you will lead the messaging work that defines how Gigs is perceived.

Establish Gigs' executive positioning : Elevate the profiles of Gigs founders and executive team through securing speaking slots, podcast appearances, and media opportunities.

Run media and analyst relations : Own and expand our journalist, analyst, and influencer relationships in the US and beyond.

Proactively source stories : You'll always be on the lookout for the next announcements, sourcing opportunities across internal and external stakeholders.

What We Are Looking For

Deep communications and media relations expertise : 10+ years of experience running communications for high-growth tech companies or top-tier agencies.

US media insider : You hold strong connections with top US tech and business media—these are just one ping away for you and have an extensive track record of securing impactful coverage.

Brand builder : You understand what great looks like when establishing a brand from scratch. Ideally, you have defined narratives for new categories before.

Execution oriented : You have a strong execution mindset and are comfortable delivering under tight deadlines, remain calm under pressure, and know how to prioritize.

Trusted advisor : You're a calming presence, great listener, and comfortable providing honest guidance on topics within your field, also when selling a "no" or providing alternative options.

Before You Apply

The truth is, what we're building isn't easy. We expect a lot, and operate with urgency and ownership. This won't be the right place for everyone, and that's okay.

This role probably isn't a fit if :

You need a lot of structure, or layers of process to do your best work

You prefer to specialize narrowly and wait for direction rather than taking initiative

You're uncomfortable making decisions with imperfect information or wearing multiple hats

You're looking for a "big company" setup — we're still building many things for the first time

But if you're excited by the idea of building from zero, working with passion, and leaving your mark on something that matters — we'd love to meet you.

Work at Gigs

At Gigs, we know that different work styles and teams thrive in different environments. Some work best remotely, while others rely on in-person collaboration to spark creativity and drive execution. We're remote-friendly by design, but we also offer hubs for those who need the energy and focus that only in-person collaboration can bring.

Gigs Pads : Our hubs in San Francisco, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin are vibrant spots where Gigsters connect, collaborate, and create together.

Gigs Republic : Twice a year, our entire company comes together to strengthen bonds, align on big ideas, and share experiences that fuel our culture and ignite growth.
