Communications & Public Relation Lead

We are looking for our first communications hire. This is a part-time, fully remote role with real ownership. You will not have a comms team above you writing strategy. You will set it, with direct access to our founders and technical leads. The audience matters more than the medium here.

Location:

We would prefer someone based in Los Angeles, since it makes occasional in-person work with the team and with press easier. That is a preference, not a requirement. If you are excellent and based somewhere else, apply anyway.

What you'll do

Press and media

• Build relationships with reporters and editors at mining trade press, resource-sector financial media, and relevant technology outlets
• Write and place press releases, pitches, technical bylines, and executive commentary
• Prepare founders and technical leads for interviews, panels, and analyst conversations
• Track coverage and industry conversation, and report on what is landing
• Act as first point of contact for inbound press

Industry relations and events

• Own AiMinr's presence at the conferences
• Secure speaking slots and panel placements for our team
• Plan and run our own formats: investor and customer briefings, technical webinars, roundtables, and receptions
• Coordinate booth presence, meeting schedules, and pre-event outreach
• Partner with contracted event producers on larger activations. You scope and direct, they execute.

Messaging and materials

• Maintain a clear, disciplined message architecture for a technically complex product
• Write and edit web copy, one-pagers, case studies, and executive communications
• Work with technical staff to translate specialist work into language a non-specialist buyer, investor, or journalist can follow, without overstating it

What we're looking for

• 3 to 6 years in communications, PR, or industry relations
• Experience in a technically complex or regulated sector: mining, energy, heavy industry, pharma, medical devices, aerospace, or similar. This matters more to us than experience in AI or startups.
• A track record of earned media you can point to, with the pitches behind it
• Experience owning conference presence end to end, including budget
• Excellent writing, specifically the ability to be precise and compelling at the same time
• Comfort working independently, setting priorities, and telling us when something we want to say should not be said that way
• Self-direction in a remote role. There is no one looking over your shoulder, which is either the best or the worst part of this job depending on how you work.

Nice to have

• Good personality.

You do not need to be a geologist or a mining engineer. You do need to be genuinely willing to learn the domain. Candidates who treat mining as interchangeable with any other B2B vertical will not do well here.
