About the Role

We're looking for a PR & Communications Lead who's ready to build. This is a rare, ground-floor opportunity to define and launch the brand presence of one of Singapore's fastest-growing AI start-ups — with the creative freedom, strategic ownership, and executive backing to do it right.

Reporting to the Head of Go-To-Market, this is a global role with a particular focus on Southeast Asia and Latin America — two high-growth markets central to our expansion strategy. This role is purpose-built for a strategic communicator who knows how to build narratives that resonate with enterprise key decision makers and small-to-medium businesses alike.

You will be responsible for owning and executing all public relations workstreams — from media relations and thought leadership to executive profiling and industry positioning, including raising our profile with key analyst firms such as Gartner.

You'll be the voice that bridges AI Rudder's story with the market, bringing existing relationships and a builder's mindset to establish our PR function from the ground up in a fast-moving, dynamic start-up environment.

Key Responsibilities

Media Relations: Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists, editors, and media outlets across relevant industry verticals — with a focus on Southeast Asia and Latin America — to secure consistent, high-quality coverage for AI Rudder.

Thought Leadership: Develop and place compelling thought leadership content — including bylines, op-eds, and executive commentary — that positions AI Rudder's leadership as credible voices in the AI and enterprise technology space.

PR Strategy & Planning: Design and execute a comprehensive global PR strategy targeting enterprise key decision makers and SMB audiences, aligned with broader Go-To-Market objectives.

Analyst Relations: Drive AI Rudder's visibility and credibility with key industry analyst firms, including Gartner, to strengthen our positioning within the enterprise technology landscape.

Executive Profiling: Partner with senior leadership to build their public profiles through speaking engagements, media interviews, podcast appearances, and industry award nominations.

Campaign & Announcement Management: Lead the end-to-end execution of press releases, product announcements, and company milestones, coordinating with internal teams and external PR agencies or vendors where applicable.

Market & Competitive Intelligence: Monitor media coverage, industry trends, and competitor narratives to identify opportunities and inform ongoing PR strategy.

Who You Are (Must Haves)

Experience: 3 - 5 years of experience in Public Relations, preferably within the B2B tech, SaaS, or AI industry, with a proven track record of securing meaningful media coverage across global markets.

Existing Network: An established network of media contacts from Southeast Asia or Latin America — ideally both — that can be activated from day one.

Strategic Thinker: Ability to develop a PR strategy from scratch and translate business objectives into clear, impactful communications plans.

Storyteller: Exceptional writing and messaging skills with the ability to distill complex AI and technology concepts into narratives that resonate with both enterprise and SMB audiences.

Operator: Comfortable owning and executing all PR workstreams independently in a fast-paced, start-up environment — from 0 to 1.

Communication: Fluent in English (written and verbal) with the ability to collaborate across international, cross-functional teams. Mandarin proficiency is a plus.
