Director, Communications

Job Description:

• Lead Bestow's communications function, managing agency partners to execute with scale and quality across corporate communications.
• Own the narrative — developing and evolving the story Bestow tells to drive category leadership and shift how the market thinks about legacy insurance infrastructure.
• Build and execute a corporate communications strategy that earns Bestow credibility with enterprise buyers, press, and industry influencers.
• Lead media relations with skill and intentionality — building relationships with key journalists and outlets, driving earned coverage, and ensuring Bestow is part of the conversations that matter.
• Partner with Product Marketing to amplify major product moments — ensuring significant releases and platform milestones show up in the market with the weight they deserve.
• Build and execute a thought leadership program that elevates Bestow's executives as credible, distinctive voices in the insurance and insurtech space.
• Work closely with executives to develop strategic communications platforms — helping leaders show up with clarity, consistency, and impact across speaking, media, and written channels.
• Own analyst relations — ensuring Bestow is accurately represented and well-positioned in the reports buyers consult during due diligence.
• Partner with Product Marketing and Integrated Marketing to ensure communications amplifies and extends the broader market narrative.
• Build reporting and measurement frameworks that connect communications activity to business outcomes.

Requirements:

• A passionate storyteller — you have a gift for finding the narrative inside complex, technical subject matter and making it resonate with a sophisticated audience.
• High business acumen with a genuine curiosity about product — you go deep on what a company builds because you know that's where the best stories live.
• Highly adept at media relations — you have established relationships with press, know how to drive earned coverage, and understand how to make a story land.
• Proven experience working with executives to build strategic, impactful communications platforms that show up consistently across media, speaking, and thought leadership.
• Proven experience in corporate communications, ideally in B2B, enterprise technology, fintech, or insurtech.
• Experience leading agency relationships and getting the best out of external partners.
• A track record of driving category leadership or market repositioning — you've helped a company shift how an industry thinks about a problem.
• Analyst relations experience is strongly preferred — you've worked with Gartner, Forrester, or comparable firms.
• Both agency and in-house experience preferred — you understand how to get the best out of agency partners because you've been on both sides.
• Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy and building programs from the ground up.
• Leverage AI tools to enhance research, content development, and the speed and scale of communications execution.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and equity based on role
• Policies and managers that support work/life balance, like our flexible paid time off and parental leave programs
