About the job
THE PROBLEM
The defense industrial base is at a historic inflection point. Manufacturing capacity is at the center of conversation.
Jiga is building that layer. We route demand using AI to the right US manufacturers, operate as supplier of record with full traceability, and turn into a production arm for custom mechanical parts. We work with the hottest defense startups and traditional Primes. VC-backed, growing 4x year over year.
THE ROLE
You'll own how Jiga shows up in aerospace and defense. Positioning, messaging, content, media relations, events, podcasts, speaking slots, news placements. You write, pitch and place.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Direct our positioning and messaging for the aerospace and defense audience
- Create content yourself: articles, op-eds, industry insights, case studies, LinkedIn
- Build and work relationships with the journalists, editors, and podcast hosts who cover defense tech, aerospace, and manufacturing
- Get us out there: news placements, speaking slots, podcast appearances, awards, conference presence
- Run senior leader thought leadership across social, podcasts, and traditional media
- Make us findable. Own how Jiga surfaces when senior leaders search for US manufacturing capacity
- Manage freelancers or agencies where they add leverage
- Give sales, BD, and fundraising the credibility and materials they need to open doors
YOU'RE A FIT IF YOU
- Have 7+ years in communications, PR, or content in defense tech or aerospace, ideally close to manufacturing and hardware
- Bring live media relationships in this world and can name the reporters and outlets you'd pitch first
- Know what lands with this audience: which narratives move supply chain leaders, program offices, and defense tech operators
- Write fast and well, and can show placed work: bylines, ghost-written executive content, stories you pitched into print
- Have earned coverage for a company without a big brand behind you
WHAT YOU GET
- Real impact - You build the voice of a company in the market that matters most to us
- Ownership - Own the story end to end with full autonomy and budget
- Growth - Series A company building toward massive outcomes
- Culture - Autonomy, honesty, speed, and a no-BS environment
- Mission - Help rebuild American manufacturing capacity and strengthen national security
- Flexibility - Fully remote, async-first, results-oriented
HOW TO APPLY
Tell us two things: the best story you've ever placed and how it actually happened, and three journalists or podcasts you'd pitch for Jiga in your first month.
