Head of Communications (New Media)

Traditional PR is fading — we go directly to our audience. This role brings together what used to be two separate seats, communications and social media, into one mid-to-senior, hands-on role: owning Supabase's voice in the channels where developers actually pay attention, and building our founders' presence in them.

"New media" here means modern and direct, not traditional press — we care far more about getting our founders onto the right podcasts and YouTube channels than landing a New York Times placement. It's part comms, part social operator, with a sharper edge than a typical polite PR hire: someone willing to put an opinion out there and push a little rather than always play it safe. But it's not just a social media job either — this person also needs the poise and technical credibility to lead comms through genuinely high-stakes moments, like a major incident, where reporters, investors, and customers all need a calm, credible, technically fluent voice at the same time.

WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

• Make sure we're part of the current conversation and are going directly to our audience — new media over old-world press
• Own and execute our new media strategy
• Run and grow Supabase's X + LinkedIn accounts, hands on keyboard
• Help build the accounts of our founders and team — including ghostwriting in their voice
• Explore and exploit unconventional channels and formats
• Book our cofounders on the most known shows, podcasts, and YouTube channels in our space
• Work directly with DevRel and the PMM team on launches and Select
• Manage comms around incidents, funding, and other high-stakes moments — crisis comms handled with poise and technical credibility (this is key)

YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU
