Check out our CEO’s blog post to learn more about our mission here: Redefining Legacy https://www.percepta.ai/blog/redefining-legacy. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Shape the language of the mission and product. Language drives alignment. You'll help refine how we talk about what we're building: developing naming systems, sharpening product architecture language, and driving coherence in ways that live and evolve rather than sit in a static document. Language drives internal alignment. - Craft external narrative collateral: CEO vision pieces, conference narratives and pitches, the long-form pieces that set our position in the market. - Establish and amplify our brand. Our brand is nascent: you will help define it and determine the right media for expression. This might range from crafting landing pages, writing website copy, pitch decks, case studies, and social copy. You can find examples at percepta.ai http://percepta.ai. - Make technical concepts accessible. You’ll sit with the research and engineering teams, understand the substance well enough to interrogate it, and translate it with precision for different audiences. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR If you don’t have experience in all of these areas, we encourage you to apply anyway. We’re looking for smart, curious people and believe in adapting the role to your strengths. Requirements - Excellent writing and editorial craft. You make technical complexity accessible through language. You can ghostwrite a founder essay, craft landing pages, and structure a 16-slide deck, and they all sound like one company or the voice of whomever you’re speaking as. - Investigative instinct. You don't wait to be briefed. When something is unclear — a product decision, a customer's actual problem, a technical concept you haven't encountered — you ask the question underneath the question. You're comfortable not knowing, but uncomfortable staying there. - Technical proficiency. Our product is technically complex. You don't need to train a model, but you need enough depth to engage with the work seriously — and an appetite to keep learning as it evolves. Experience in a nontechnical role at an AI company is the preferred bar. - Positioning instinct. You can take a complex, technical offering and find the frame and the words that make it land for a specific reader. You think about category and message architecture, not just clean prose. - Stakeholder management and synthesis abilities. Experience working effectively with senior stakeholders and the judgment to provide strategic messaging counsel, including when to respectfully challenge existing approaches. - Self-direction. This is a near-solo function at an early-stage company. There's no playbook and no manager handing you briefs. You set the bar and hold it. Nice to have - Design eye. You have an eye for design and you’ve spent time on brand design or product design teams. You understand aesthetics and have enough visual design sense to be able to critique something when you see it. - Systems and architecture sense. You think in structure and sequence, not just sentences — you can see the shape of a product…
