Content and Communications Manager

About the Company

Armada is an edge computing startup that provides computing infrastructure to remote areas where connectivity and cloud infrastructure is limited, as well as areas where data needs to be processed locally for real-time analytics and AI at the edge. We’re looking to bring on the most brilliant minds to help further our mission of bridging the digital divide with advanced technology infrastructure that can be rapidly deployed anywhere.

About the Role

Armada is building the definitive industrial edge platform—using connectivity, compute, and AI to solve customers’ hardest problems at the source of their data. To reach the next wave of customers and keep our team rowing in unison, we need a single owner for the stories we tell externally and internally. This is a foundational role that sits at the inter section of external brand building and internal communications.

Location. Office-based. Preferred location: San Francisco, California (HQ). Candidates in Seattle, WA or Los Angeles, CA will also be considered.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

• Create a content engine.  Develop and execute an integrated communications strategy that spans 𝕏, LinkedIn, web, email, events, and traditional PR. You’ll own the editorial calendar, define success metrics, and adapt in real time.
• Develop Armada’s PR strategy.  Own the playbook for earned media. Define the narrative, set the calendar, and manage our PR agency to consistently land Armada in the outlets that shape our markets, from tech to national security to energy.
• Lead internal communications.  Partner with the Office of the CEO to create a regular cadence of updates with wins, product news, and company announcements, so the team always knows where we are, where we’re headed, and why it matters.
• Maintain brand voice and guardrails. Make sure every message reflects our direct, value-first tone. No fluff. No cringe. Our products are the best in the world and our communications should reflect that.
• Measure what matters. Stand up the infrastructure, tools, and metrics to measure content impact including share of voice, social growth, engagement, and qualified leads. Double down on what works and cut what doesn’t.
• Own executive communications. Collaborate with leadership on speaking engagements, written thought leadership, and talking points that reinforce Armada’s vision. Ensure our CEO and execs are always equipped with aligned, high-impact messaging for both internal and external audiences.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years in communications, content marketing, or journalism for high-growth B2B or deep-tech firms—ideally where hardware + software meet (industrial, space, defense, IoT).
• Proven success owning social channels and landing coverage in outlets that move markets.
• Exceptional writing chops; you can distill complex technical concepts into a 280-character hook or a 1-pager that closes deals.
• Hands-on operator comfortable as the lone in-house comms lead, coordinating execs, designers, and an external PR agency.
• Track record of securing meaningful press wins, social growth, and measurable top-of-funnel impact.
• Bonus points for SEO know-how, multimedia storytelling, or prior experience in space, autonomous systems, or national-security tech.
