Head of New Media

About the role

Supabase, the Postgres development platform, is hiring a Head of New Media in a fully remote position. The role combines communications and social media into one mid-to-senior, hands-on seat: owning Supabase's voice in the channels where developers pay attention and building its founders' presence there. It is part comms, part social operator, and also calls for the poise and technical credibility to lead comms during high-stakes moments such as major incidents.

Key responsibilities

• Keep Supabase in the current conversation and reach the audience directly, preferring new media over traditional press
• Own and execute the new media strategy
• Run and grow Supabase's X and LinkedIn accounts hands on
• Help build the accounts of the founders and team, including ghostwriting in their voices
• Explore and exploit unconventional channels and formats
• Book the cofounders on prominent shows, podcasts and YouTube channels
• Work with DevRel and the PMM team on launches and Select
• Handle comms around incidents, funding and other high-stakes moments with calm, credible, technical fluency

Required profile

• An excellent writer with a distinctive voice, strong both as yourself and ghostwriting for others
• A track record of growing accounts, ideally for a technical audience
• An unconventional thinker who puts opinions out there and knows when to hold back
• Seasoned enough to stay calm and credible in incidents, funding and press situations
• High agency; you are probably already doing something similar somewhere scrappier

What we offer

• Fully remote work, hired globally, with a WeWork membership or co-working allowance
• ESOP (equity ownership)
• Tech allowance for equipment
• Health insurance covered 100% for employees and 80% for dependents
• Annual off-site and flexible, asynchronous work
