Direct message the job poster from Lumafield
Lumafield is seeking a seasoned, strategic Communications Lead to elevate our media presence and define how we show up in the world. This is a key leadership role that will expand on our remarkable organic traction—we regularly get millions of views on social media and collaborate with high quality outlets like the Financial Times , Wirecutter , and The Verge .
You’ll build on those relationships and expand Lumafield’s visibility in tier-one media—not just as a novel technology story, but as a crucial part of the bigger conversation about reshoring, advanced manufacturing, and the future of global supply chains. Working closely with our executive team, you’ll help shape narratives that position Lumafield as a voice of authority as the manufacturing world searches for visibility and confidence.
This is a hands-on role, backed by resources: you’ll have the support of a talented marketing team with excellent visual storytelling capabilities and you’ll be responsible for hiring and managing a PR contractor or agency to scale your impact.
What you'll do:
- Own Lumafield’s strategic storytelling: craft and execute narratives that position us as a thought leader in engineering, manufacturing, and AI-driven technology.
- Conceive and drive large-scale initiatives (research reports, industry collaborations, strategic events) that generate sustained coverage and conversation.
- Build and deepen relationships with top-tier journalists, ensuring they see Lumafield as a go-to source for insight, data, and visuals.
- Partner with executives to develop thought leadership platforms and speaking opportunities.
- Shape and guide high-visibility announcements, customer success stories, and product launches.
- Manage and direct PR contractors or agencies to scale strategic initiatives.
- Align closely with our social media and content marketing teams to amplify stories across all channels.
About you:
- 8+ years in communications, with deep experience in media relations and strategic storytelling
- Background in industrial technology, deep tech, or enterprise hardware/software
- Proven success working with top-tier press and securing meaningful coverage
- A sharp editorial sense and a gift for translating complex technologies into compelling, accessible stories
- Experience managing external PR firms or contractors
- Comfortable working directly with senior executives and distilling their insights into powerful narratives
- Motivated by shaping strategic perception, not just tactical coverage
- Excited to help define the future of manufacturing—and tell the world about it
