• Support the strategy and communications plan for BETA's presence at major industry events, including messaging, announcement timing, executive preparation, and on-site collateral
• Own and update BETA's core communications documents including company overviews, messaging frameworks, fast facts, executive biographies, and boilerplate
• Develop launch narratives and positioning for new programs, products, and strategic initiatives, in partnership with the broader Communications team
• Partner closely with the marketing, creative, and video teams to ensure BETA's external voice is consistent across press, brand, and customer-facing channels
• Build deep cross-functional relationships across engineering, certification, business development, and defense to stay close to the work and surface stories worth telling

Minimum Qualifications:

• 3 to 5 years of experience in communications, public relations, journalism, or a closely related field
• Exceptional writing and editing skills across formats, from announcements and briefing materials to messaging frameworks and executive social media content
• Comfortable in rooms with senior executives and external partners, with strong instincts for listening, synthesizing, and asking the right questions
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deliverables under tight deadlines
• A true team player and trusted partner — proactive, collaborative, and low-ego, with a track record of taking ownership, anticipating needs, and solving problems before they escalate
• Willingness to travel for industry events, airshows and customer engagements (25%)

Above and Beyond Qualifications:

• Background in aerospace, defense, aviation, energy, or advanced technology
