About the role

Communications tells the story of what Clexerl builds, to customers, journalists, regulators, candidates and the public. We write the announcements, explain the launches and handle the moments when something goes wrong. Our standard is plain, specific and accurate, because hype is easy to spot and damages trust faster than a slow announcement does.

The ventures move at different speeds and carry different risks. A Frontier AI model release needs careful wording about capabilities, evaluations and known limits. A Clexerl Go launch needs to explain how agents act and where people stay in control. Communications connects these stories across divisions, so the company describes itself the same way whether it is talking about a sensor or a spreadsheet.

We write in the open and review each piece with the team that made the work. Claims are checked against evidence before they go out, and corrections are published promptly.

What you’ll do

  • Write announcements, launch posts and long-form explainers that describe what a product does, what it does not do and why it matters.
  • Work with venture leads to shape launch plans, sequence announcements and agree the claims each piece can make.
  • Prepare spokespeople for interviews, panels and regulatory hearings, including briefing notes and rehearsed answers.
  • Lead the response to press enquiries and public issues, drafting holding statements and approving them with legal and security.
  • Maintain the company's editorial standards, style guide and terminology, and review drafts from across the company.
  • Measure reach and comprehension through reader research and engagement data, and report what changed as a result.
  • Edit engineering and research writing for a general audience, keeping technical accuracy while cutting the jargon.

What you’ll bring

  • Experience in technology communications, with published work that explains complex products to a general audience.
  • Strong editorial judgement, with a sharp eye for hype, vague claims and claims that cannot be substantiated.
  • Understanding of AI, robotics or software systems well enough to question an engineer's draft and be taken seriously.
  • Experience handling press relations or crisis communications, with a calm approach to deadlines and scrutiny.
  • Confidence working with legal, security and research teams on sensitive announcements.
  • Fluent British English and a clean, economical writing style, with no padding and no unexplained jargon.

Nice to have

  • Experience in AI policy or safety communications, including writing about evaluations, limits and known failure modes.
  • Experience communicating with regulators, standards bodies or public consultations.
  • Background in science or engineering writing, with work that has been peer reviewed or published in technical venues.
  • Experience running a company blog, newsletter or podcast with a consistent editorial voice.
