GradialSeattle, Washington, United States · Posted 23 days agoDescription
Gradial is the marketing operations system of work that helps marketers and creatives move from idea to execution faster. Our platform orchestrates across martech stacks, workflows, and people to automate marketing execution, cutting execution time, so marketers focus on the work only humans can do: shaping brands, understanding customers, and creating the work that moves people.
Backed by leading investors, we’re building software that adapts to the user, not the other way around. We move with urgency, operate with ownership, and solve hard problems from first principles. If you want to do ambitious work, take real responsibility, and help define the future of AI-native content operations, you’ll do your best work here.
The Role
As a Senior Communications & Social Strategist at Gradial, you'll shape how the world experiences our company and the people building it. You'll own executive communications and social strategy, building trust and conversation around our founders and our brand. This is a hands-on role. You'll set the strategy, then write, film, publish, and iterate on it every day. You'll define Gradial's voice across every major platform and turn company moments into content people actually want to share.
What You'll Own
- Founder communications on LinkedIn, publishing high-quality posts each week for the founders in their own voice
- Executive narratives, keynote messaging, and speaking materials for customer events, conferences, media, and major announcements
- Gradial's social strategy across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube
- Social-first production end to end, including short-form video, founder content, and product storytelling
- Timely campaigns that turn platform shifts and cultural moments into opportunities for Gradial to lead the conversation
- Launch and milestone amplification, in close partnership with founders, marketing, product, recruiting, and design
- Performance measurement, refining messaging, formats, and distribution against real audience data
What We're Looking For
- 6+ years leading executive communications and social strategy for founders, executives, or high-growth brands
- A strong personal presence on LinkedIn and a track record of building an audience
- Deep fluency in LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube, and how their algorithms and audiences shift
- Exceptional writing, with the range to adapt to different executive voices without losing authenticity
- Hands-on production experience, from writing and filming through editing and publishing
- Demonstrated ability to use AI tools and LLMs to accelerate research, content development, and creative workflows
- Comfort holding long-term strategy and daily execution at the same time
- High ownership mindset, excellent judgment, and speed that doesn't cost quality
Nice to Have
- Communications or social strategy experience at a fast-growing AI or SaaS company
- Background with founder-led or culturally relevant brands known for bold social storytelling
- Experience producing highly shareable video and leading creative brand activations
Compensation
The salary range for this position is $150,000 - $165,000 annually. Final compensation will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and qualifications.
What we offer
- Performance-based annual bonus
- Meaningful equity awards
- Medical, dental & vision (fully covered for employees with 75% for dependents)
- Fertility & family-planning support
- 401k plan
- Unlimited PTO
- A beautiful Seattle office with a gym, sauna, and bike parking
- Free lunch three days a week in our HQ
- A front-row seat to building category-defining AI infrastructure
You'll thrive here if you
- Learn quickly, actively seek out new challenges, and regularly reconsider “how it’s always been done.”
- Want to have real impact with zero bureaucracy.
- Have an innate drive for being 1% better than the day before, building towards greatness.
- Embrace AI as a core tool for problem-solving, innovation, and scale.
- Show customer-obsession (internal or external), high ownership/accountability, and bias for action.
- Communicate clearly, directly, with curiosity, and assuming good intentions.
- Thrive in fast-paced, hyper-growth environments where building better > maintaining status quo.
AI Literacy & Interviewing Tools
As an AI-first company, we prioritize AI literacy as a core competency in our hiring decisions. We’re excited by candidates who thoughtfully apply AI tools in their work, but during interviews we’re focused on you. This is your opportunity to show how you think, communicate, and solve problems. Over-reliance on AI-generated responses during the interview process (especially when it obscures your own voice) will result in disqualification. We want to understand your unique perspective and how you approach challenges, both with and without AI.
Gradial is dedicated to creating an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and all team members can grow. We offer competitive compensation, equity, flexible work hours, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative culture focused on learning and impact.
