Atticus sits at the intersection of regulated legal services, consumer technology, and one of the most consequential policy landscapes in the country. Every change at the Social Security Administration, every Congressional hearing on benefits access, every backlog data release – these are moments that shape our clients’ lives, and moments where Atticus has something distinctive to say.
We’re hiring our first Head of Communications to turn those opportunities into coverage, credibility, and influence. Your mission: establish our media presence and shape how stakeholders – clients, law firms, the SSA, policymakers, and thought leaders – understand our company and our impact.
You’ll own corporate communications and public relations, reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, Amanda Runner, and partnering closely with Stephanie Akpa, Head of Policy and Public Affairs; Arpit Garg, Chief Legal Officer; and Sam Byker, Founder & CEO.
You’ll build a communications program anchored in two engines: data journalism and policy-driven storytelling, particularly around the SSA. On the public affairs side, you’ll partner closely with our Head of Policy and Public Affairs to organize Washington fly-ins, stage Congressional events, and build the media relationships that let our clients’ experiences shape policy conversations.
This is a builder role, meaning the function will carry your fingerprints for years. You’ll inherit a strong strategic foundation, supported by a noble mission, proprietary data, and compelling client stories. The rest – media relationships, the rapid-response muscle, the newsroom, the team – is yours to design and build.
