## About the role

We’re looking for a Director of Communications to own how Relay communicates—externally in earned media, and internally across the company. This is a builder role: you’ll be our first dedicated comms hire, which means you’re starting from a position of real momentum—an active PR agency relationship, a brand campaign in market, and a growing media presence—and your job is to turn that into a durable communications function with the infrastructure, relationships, and editorial discipline to match where Relay is...

## What they're looking for

- You have 8+ years in communications, PR, or corporate affairs roles, with meaningful experience at a high-growth SaaS, fintech, or consumer brand
- You’ve owned a media program before—you have reporter relationships you built yourself, coverage wins you drove personally, and a clear theory of what makes a story land
- You have strong executive communications chops: you’ve written for a CEO, shaped a founder’s public presence, and know how to coach someone who’s brilliant but not naturally a media personality
- You’re a skilled writer with a high editorial bar—you can cut through jargon, write for a small business owner, and tell a financial product story without making it sound like a financial product
- You’ve worked in a regulated or compliance-adjacent environment and know how to get the legal team to yes without losing the headline
- You’re a strategic operator who can build systems and processes, not just campaigns—you know what a mature comms function looks like and can run toward it from scratch
