Strategic Communications Manager
Join us as Probabl's first communications hire!
About Probabl
Probabl is the tabular AI company founded by the creators of scikit-learn – the global standard for machine learning in Python, downloaded over 2 billion times in the last year alone. That’s on average over 60 downloads per second.
After standardizing how the world does machine learning, we’re now transforming the way enterprises practice tabular AI. We’re looking for a Strategic Communications Manager to help us better communicate our vision and impact to the world.
The role
We carry one of the most trusted names in machine learning and a fast-growing story about where data science will go next. This role makes sure our story lands.
You will play a key role in driving and amplifying Probabl’s voice. You’ll plan and coordinate everything we put in front of the outside world, across audiences as different as enterprise buyers, data scientists, and our strategic partners. You will shape how Probabl is understood and perceived and ensure our vision is visible and lands effectively with the right audiences. You will make sure that our story holds together whether it shows up in a blog post, a sales deck, or a press release. When we ship something that matters, you turn it into a moment people notice.
This is a cross-functional role. You’ll work in close synchronization with our ecosystem development, product, engineering, and business development teams. You will translate what each of them does into a coherent, compelling narrative that reaches the right audiences through the right channels.
This position is for someone who understands that communications is not just a support function but a strategic lever for building an ambitious, future-shaping AI company.
What you’ll do
Strategic positioning and narrative-building. You will execute the direction of the company’s external communications, and ensure our messaging is consistent and resonant across audiences, channels, and formats. You will develop and sharpen our narrative, grounded in our mission, strategy, and product portfolio.
Communications delivery. You will take responsibility for the day-to-day operations and execution of our external communications. You will be responsible for prioritizing and coordinating ongoing communications across all channels and teams, and you will act as the communications throughline across the company so that what each team produces adds up to one clear voice.
Create multi-channel, multi-audience content. Produce high-quality content for our channels (web, social media, blog, newsletter), and make sure each piece reaches the audience it’s meant for.
Turn launches into moments. When we launch something important (e.g. product, partnership, new release), you will shape it into a coordinated story that earns attention from enterprise buyers, investors, data scientists, and the press.
Build our ambassador network. Support our Head of Ecosystem Development to build and energize a global network of ambassadors who amplify Probabl’s story.

Requirements
