About the Role
At Ramp we embrace experimentation, aren’t afraid of being the first to try something new, and publicly applaud rapid failure. In the indomitable words of our co-founder and CTO, you can just do things here.
That’s the internal ethos we’re looking for in our Brand and Industry Communications Lead. You’ll have a unique role in that you’ll touch many areas of external comms: leading our non-tech industry push, economics program, and overall team operations. These are all emerging areas for the team that directly tie to the long term growth of the company. There is also a lot to build and do to get them off the ground. Which should be an exciting prospect because you’re the kind of person who loves taking a program vision and figuring out the steps to make it happen. Working cross-functionally to do so is what you enjoy the most.
Our ideal candidate is high agency, attuned to the cultural zeitgeist, and excited at the idea of “doing” vs. “managing.” You’re a chameleon of the comms world, able to flex into many areas. You also love telling a great story, and are constantly seeking novel ways to do so.
This position will report to the Head of Communications and is ideally based out of either New York, San Francisco, or Miami – but is open to remote.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk!

Succinct writing skills that infuse personality and humanity (i.e., you write like people talk).
