About The Role

Armada is building the definitive industrial edge platform—using connectivity, compute, and AI to solve customers’ hardest problems at the source of their data. To reach the next wave of customers and keep our team rowing in unison, we need a single owner for the stories we tell externally

and

internally. This is a foundational role that sits at the inter section of external brand building and internal communications.

Location.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

Create a content engine. Develop and execute an integrated communications strategy that spans ????, LinkedIn, web, email, events, and traditional PR. You’ll own the editorial calendar, define success metrics, and adapt in real time. Develop Armada’s PR strategy. Own the playbook for earned media. Define the narrative, set the calendar, and manage our PR agency to consistently land Armada in the outlets that shape our markets, from tech to national security to energy. Lead internal communications. Partner with the Office of the CEO to create a regular cadence of updates with wins, product news, and company announcements, so the team always knows where we are, where we’re headed, and why it matters. Maintain brand voice and guardrails. Make sure every message reflects our direct, value-first tone. No fluff. No cringe. Our products are the best in the world and our communications should reflect that. Measure what matters. Stand up the infrastructure, tools, and metrics to measure content impact including share of voice, social growth, engagement, and qualified leads. Double down on what works and cut what doesn’t. Own executive communications. Collaborate with leadership on speaking engagements, written thought leadership, and talking points that reinforce Armada’s vision. Ensure our CEO and execs are always equipped with aligned, high-impact messaging for both internal and external audiences.
