At Taktile, we believe in the power of new media in B2B SaaS. It’s not just Forbes or Gartner or The Times anymore that shape mindshare. It’s about owning and driving your narrative on new media channels. By new media, we mean media created, frequented, and moderated by users - think blogs, newsletters, podcasts, and of course social media. This includes most owned media: platforms where you can publish your own story directly.
We are hiring a Head of Media to drive the company’s narrative across these channels.
This is not corporate comms. It’s about creating moments that matter, and building a following that shifts industries.
This role will be awarded through the Taktile Media Challenge, a public, skill-based contest. To be considered, you must enter the challenge and be selected as the grand prize winner. The offer is conditional on passing a background check and other checks including culture & value fit.
