Corporate Communications Manager

About Us

Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.
Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.
At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.

The Role

As a Corporate Communications Manager, you’ll own external communications that shape how the world understands our mission and leadership in AI. You’ll craft narratives that highlight the role of high-quality human feedback in building better AI, drive media engagement, and ensure Surge’s voice is clear, credible, and compelling across all channels.

What You’ll Do

Lead corporate communications strategy across media relations, executive visibility, research announcements, and industry positioning
Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists and media outlets, proactively pitching stories that elevate Surge’s voice in AI
Develop high-impact communications materials—press releases, blog posts, briefing docs, and executive statements—that make technical work accessible and newsworthy
Launch and manage multi-channel campaigns that strengthen Surge’s reputation as a thought leader in AI
Counsel leadership on communications opportunities, risks, and messaging to ensure clarity and consistency across external touchpoints

What We’re Looking For

Proven corporate communications experience in tech, AI, or fast-growth industries, with a track record of media engagement and reputation building
Exceptional writer and storyteller, able to translate complex technical or research-driven content into clear, compelling narratives
Skilled in media relations, issues management, and executive communications, with strong relationships (or the ability to build them) across press and industry networks
Highly collaborative, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving, founder-led environment
