## Job description

Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. With millions of users worldwide, Replit is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation.

VP of Communications, Replit Replit is changing who gets to build software. As an agentic software creation platform, Replit enables anyone, from individual creators to teams inside the world’s largest companies, to turn natural language into applications, internal tools, dashboards, workflows, websites, and software that solves real problems. We are looking for a Director or VP of Communications to lead Replit’s next chapter of storytelling, trust building, and market leadership. This is a senior communications role for a creative, strategic, and hands-on leader who can build and scale the communications function as Replit grows from a beloved developer platform into a defining company in AI, software creation, and enterprise transformation. This person will own Replit’s external and internal communications strategy, including strategic positioning and company narrative, media relations, analyst relations, executive communications, internal communications, crisis communications, customer storytelling, flagship thought leadership, policy-related communications, and global awareness. The role requires someone who can push through the noise, make the Replit story heard, and keep it part of the conversation. The Director / VP of Communications will develop a compelling narrative that evolves with the company, the product, and the market, and deliver it across media, policymakers, partners, customers, prospects, and employees. The role will also support Replit’s international awareness, with a focus on key markets in Europe and Asia. This person must be both strategic and execution-oriented. They should have built or helped lead a communications function at a fast-growing technology company, or led communications and positioning for a leading institution. This is not a traditional press office role of adopting another company’s playbook in its entirety. The person must be creative, scrappy, maybe even spiky: able to take what they know works as a foundation and build on it to make Replit a unique player that punches above its weight in a crowded, competitive marketplace.

## Role

- Lead and scale Replit’s communications function, including communications strategy, team structure, agency management, operating rhythms, and execution standards.
- Build an AI-native communications function, with agents running repeatable work so a lean team focuses on judgment, relationships, and creative leaps.
- Develop and evolve Replit’s corporate narrative as the company expands across AI, developer tools, enterprise, consumer, education, and global markets.
- Own Replit’s strategic positioning: the upstream frameworks and intellectual capital that make every launch, stage, and story land better.
- Lead communications programs across company announcements, product launches, enterprise momentum, customer stories, partnerships, policy-related issues, executive visibility, awards, events, and thought leadership.
- Shape how the market understands Replit as an agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language.
- Build clear, credible narratives around AI-powered software creation, developer productivity, enterprise adoption, security, governance, education, and the future of work.
- Develop flagship thought leadership, signature reports, and third-party validator relationships that build enterprise and institutional trust.
- Partner with the CEO, executive team, and functional leaders on positioning, reputation, media strategy, internal communications, and high-stakes company moments.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with technology, business, AI, enterprise, developer, policy, and international media.
- Partner closely with product, engineering, marketing, sales, partnerships, legal, policy, people, and finance to create coordinated communications programs that support company priorities.
- Lead or support internal communications, including company meetings, leadership messaging, employee announcements, change communications, and moments that help the company stay aligned as it scales.
- Manage proactive and reactive communications, including rapid response, issues management, crisis communications, and sensitive topics.
- Prepare executives and spokespeople for media interviews, podcasts, conferences, customer events, internal moments, and industry presentations, and earn premier stages for Replit’s leaders.
- Support Replit’s global communications strategy, with particular focus on expanding awareness in Europe and Asia.
- Track the AI, software, developer, enterprise, startup, and policy landscape to identify where Replit should lead, respond, or reframe the conversation.
- Build a communications culture that values speed, clarity, creativity, judgment, and proof.

## Qualifications

- BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience.
- 12+ years of experience in communications, PR, media, corporate affairs, or related fields for Director level; 15+ years for VP level.

- Experience earning third-party validation from leading institutions and policy communities for a scrutinized or emerging technology.
- Experience guiding communications through major inflection points: public-company transitions, landmark policy moments, category creation.
- Experience across several communications disciplines, including external communications, internal communications, media relations, executive communications, crisis communications, and strategic messaging.
- Ability to translate complex technical ideas into clear, compelling stories without losing substance.
