About Gallatin At Gallatin, we are rebuilding logistics infrastructure for the national security missions of the United States and allied partners. We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made — not just how they're executed. From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage.

About The Role We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Marketing Communications to own how Gallatin shows up in the press and in front of the government decision-makers who matter most to our mission. This is a hands-on, execution-led role for someone who wants to run a public relations program directly, not manage one from a distance.

You will be the person who turns Gallatin’s milestones into coverage, our technical breakthroughs into stories the defense community understands, and our leaders into credible voices in the national security and AI conversation. You will work across the company, with Product, BD, and leadership, to keep the external narrative sharp, accurate, and consistent. The playbook here is still being written, and you will write a lot of it.

What You'll Do Run Public Relations and Media

• Own Gallatin’s day-to-day press strategy and execution, from pitching and placing coverage to managing inbound media interest.
• Build and maintain relationships with defense-tech, national security, and AI press and analysts.
• Run the announcement editorial calendar for product milestones, partnerships, contract awards, and funding, owning timing, message alignment, and amplification.
• Draft press releases, briefings, talking points, and bylines, and prepare leaders for interviews, panels, and speaking engagements.

Execute Marketing Communications and Content

• Translate complex, AI-driven capability into clear, value-driven messaging for government decision-makers and non-technical audiences.
• Produce and maintain core collateral, case studies, web copy, and campaign content in partnership with Product, BD, and Engineering.
• Keep messaging consistent across channels so what the market reads, hears, and sees all reinforces the same story.

Translate Mission and Capability

• Serve as a connective layer between Gallatin’s technical work and the narratives that bring it to life for press and DoD audiences.
• Support executive and internal communications as needed, including all-hands content and milestone messaging.
• Track what’s working with simple, honest measurement: coverage, share of voice, and engagement tied to the company’s goals.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of progressive communications experience, with a meaningful stretch owning external communications and media relations directly.
• Exceptional writing and editing across formats, from press releases and bylines to executive talking points and briefings.
• A proven track record running PR and media programs: pitching, placing coverage, and building durable relationships with reporters and analysts.
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex or technical subject matter into clear narratives for non-technical and decision-maker audiences.
• Comfort operating with autonomy, managing announcement cadence end to end, and moving fast without a fully built function around you.
• A collaborative, low-ego, builder mentality in environments where the playbook is still being written.

Bonus Points

• Experience in defense, government, national security, deep tech, or AI, where translating complexity and earning credibility with technical and government audiences is central.
• Existing relationships with defense-tech, national security, or AI press and analysts.
• Experience at a Series A to C stage company, especially through an inflection such as a launch, contract award, or fundraise.
• Familiarity with DoD program, acquisition, Pentagon, and/or military audiences.

Mission and Identity We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works.

Our mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn't just run; it gets smarter. We're not building AI for its own sake. We're building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can't wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent — you'll fit in here.

Why Gallatin? The logistics infrastructure that supports America's warfighters and humanitarian disaster responders is overdue for transformation, and we are building it. From defense operations to disaster response, we're solving the hardest problems that keep missions moving when it matters most. Join a team where the mission is the point.
