- We are hiring a Media & PR Lead to develop the public story of Normal Inference Systems. You will bring the science, engineering and performance of an unfamiliar computing architecture into the public conversation about AI infrastructure and energy.
- Working with researchers and engineers, you will learn the science behind the systems and develop original angles for technical media and broader technology, business and policy audiences. Through earned media, alternative media and speaking, you will open opportunities for voices across the company. Alongside the hardware, our team communicates Normal's frontier applied AI research program, which develops AI methods for silicon design and verification.
- Reporting to the Head of Communications, you will own media relationships and PR programs, including major announcements, speaking opportunities and partner work. You will carry the public story that colleagues in editorial, technical writing and product marketing develop, and work with social and creative production to plan coverage and amplification around each announcement.
- Build media relationships: Develop angles and sustained relationships across technical trades, mainstream media and selected analysts. Write tailored pitches, manage incoming requests and own outreach through publication, maintaining an active story pipeline between major announcements.
- Secure public engagements: Build and prioritize a pipeline across independent media, podcasts, high-profile public talks, panels and industry forums. Match opportunities to expertise across the company and cultivate hosts and organizers. Develop speaker proposals and recognition nominations, and manage engagements through preparation and delivery.
- Develop spokespeople: Develop public voices and open opportunities for executives, engineers and researchers with distinct expertise and points of view. Prepare them for interviews, talks and analyst briefings, working with colleagues on narratives, remarks and supporting materials.
- Run major announcements: Lead the PR and public-communications programs for product, research, financing, partnership and company milestone announcements, from planning through launch and follow-up. Develop messaging with the Head of Communications and leadership, craft press releases, and manage stakeholder coordination, approvals, pitching, briefings and embargoes.
- Lead partner PR: Develop joint stories and announcement programs grounded in the work and results. Coordinate with partner communications and investor PR teams on messaging, timing, approvals, outreach and amplification.
- Prioritize opportunities: Recommend where to invest across media, speaking and recognition based on audience fit, business relevance, likely impact and leadership time. Follow industry narratives and competitor coverage, using results and coverage quality to improve priorities.
- Prepare press materials: Write media kits, briefings, Q&A and contributed pieces with leaders and technical experts. Anticipate difficult questions and misinterpretations, preparing responses with the Head of Communications and relevant experts. Coordinate with colleagues to have editorial, technical and visual collateral reviewed and ready ahead of major PR pushes.
- Plan amplification: Develop remarks and executive posts tied to media, speaking and company milestones. Work with social and creative production early on content before and after public engagements and around media coverage, coordinating publication timing and follow-up.

- Opportunity judgment: You can assess the relative value of an interview, public talk, panel or alternative media appearance, and explain your recommendation in terms of audience, impact and the time required.
- Relationship building: You build productive relationships with journalists, independent media, event organizers and external communications teams. You can navigate competing priorities and sensitive information while keeping joint work moving.
