Director of Brand & Comms (IL)

Were a well-funded, early-stage startup, hiring our Director of Brand & Communications to build and own our brand and narrative function from the ground up. This role is ideal for a hands-on, strategic operator who thrives in early-stage environments, is comfortable creating structure where none exists, and works closely with our founders to define how Reindeer shows up in the world.

You will own brand and communications end to end, from positioning and narrative through press, founder visibility, and owned content. You will also build the function itself: the team, the systems, and the standard for how we show up everywhere that matters.

We have a product we believe in and a clear shot at owning a category before anyone else defines it. You will shape how the market thinks about us, build the systems that scale that story, and own our brand and reputation as the proof youre winning.
