About the role

Deepfakes and AI-generated fraud are now front-page news, and Reality Defender sits at the center of that story. We're looking for a Communications Manager to lead the day-to-day public relations work that keeps us there from pitching journalists, placing coverage, to managing the press relationships that shape how the market understands the deepfake threat - while also supporting the broader communications work that keeps our story consistent across every audience.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of experience in public relations, communications, or media relations, ideally in tech, cybersecurity, or another fast-moving industry (agency or in-house experience both welcome)
  • Existing relationships with, or a clear track record of building relationships with, journalists and editors (you know how to pitch a story and get a reporter to call back)
  • A strong, clear writer who can turn technical detail into a pitch a busy reporter will actually read, and adapt tone across different formats and audiences
  • Organized and responsive, comfortable managing multiple press conversations, projects, and deadlines at once
  • Calm under pressure and able to think on your feet when a reporter reaches out unexpectedly
  • Curious and eager to learn the technical details behind what you're pitching and communicating
More about this role

Reality Defender builds foundation models for AI-generated media detection, helping enterprises and governments identify deepfakes across audio, video, and imagery in real time. Our patented multi-model approach stays robust against the bleeding edge of generative platforms, and our API-first platform lets teams and developers embed detection directly into their workflows.

What began as a detection foundation now powers a growing set of applications: contact center AI detection, vishing fraud, identity verification, claims fraud prevention, hiring integrity, media verification, and defense against disinformation. Backed by world-class investors including DCVC, Y Combinator, Booz Allen, IBM, KPMG, and Accenture, Reality Defender works with leading enterprises, financial institutions, and governments to ensure AI generated content is always identifiable.
