What You'll Do
1. Media & Press Relations
- Build and own relationships with reporters, editors, and producers covering fintech and AI (Bloomberg, WSJ, FT, Business Insider, The Information, Axios, etc.)
- Pitch stories, product launches, client wins, and founder commentary; draft press releases and executive Q&A prep
- Cultivate finance voices on X, Substack, and podcasts — people who shape how institutional investors think about AI
- Track coverage, build a media CRM, and measure what's working
- Plan, source, and launch paid targeted and strategic media campaigns
2. Partnerships
- Source and manage co-marketing partnerships with data providers, AI infrastructure companies, industry research firms, among others
- Own partner outreach end-to-end: identify, pitch, negotiate, and coordinate execution with the product team
- Build joint case studies and content collaborations that drive pipeline and credibility
- Locate and represent Terminal X alongside the product team at industry events, conferences, and finance meetups
- Monitor the AI-in-finance narrative and find openings for Terminal X
Who You Are
Required
- 0–3 years of experience in communications, PR, partnerships, or journalism (new grads welcome with a strong internship or portfolio)
- Sharp written communication. You can draft high quality pitches, press releases, and founder bios, among other professional communications
- Interest in finance, AI, or tech space. You know enough to hold a conversation with reporters about what we do
- Proactive outreach instincts; excited to cold email reporters, DM finance accounts, and put yourself and the brand out there
Strong Differentiators
- Existing relationships with finance or tech journalists, podcasters, or bloggers
- Prior experience at a fintech, B2B SaaS, or AI startup, or at a PR/comms agency with tech or finance clients
- You've pitched and landed earned media before ( publications, side projects, or previous employer)
- Active on X
Why This Role is Different
- Ground-floor ownership. You will build the comms function from scratch
- Direct daily access to founding team and a product institutional clients actually use
- Clear path to grow into a Head of Communications role as we scale
