About the role

Handshake is looking for a builder to own and run our internal communications function. This is not a typical comms role. Handshake has grown from one business into two — Careers, and Handshake AI, which spans human data, Labs, and Enterprise AI — in under two years, tripling headcount, opening offices in New York and India, and acquiring companies along the way. That growth creates a real opportunity to build a clear, consistent internal story from the ground up, in close partnership with our leadership team.

More about this role

Handshake was founded on a simple belief that everyone deserves a path to a great career, regardless of where they went to school or who they know. Today that belief has a bigger job. We think intelligence comes from people, and we've built a company around it.

Handshake is the career network for the AI economy, connecting 25 million job seekers, more than a million employers, and 1,600 educational institutions.

Handshake AI puts the expertise of that network to work at the frontier of AI. We work directly with frontier lab researchers to author evaluations, publish benchmarks, and build the training environments models can't create on their own. In a year we've gone from $0 to a ~$1B run rate and pay ~$60M a month to more than 30,000 experts. Now we're bringing that same expertise to enterprises building AI on their own knowledge.

Shape how every career evolves in the AI economy, at global scale, with impact your friends, family and peers can see and feel

Partner hand-in-hand with world-class AI labs, Fortune 500 partners and the world’s top educational institutions

Work together with engineers, scientists, operators, and more from Palantir, Meta, Scale AI, and former YC...
