About Tiberius AerospaceTiberius Aerospace is building the next generation of weapons systems for the United States, United Kingdom, and their allies.
We believe the future of defense will be built differently — with faster iteration, tighter integration between software and hardware, and a more modern approach to how mission-critical systems are designed, tested, deployed, and improved. Tiberius is building technologies that do not stop evolving once they leave the factory, while helping shape a defense ecosystem that connects engineers, operators, manufacturers, governments, and allies into a continuously learning system.
To serve our nations with Strength, Honor, and Purpose — forging the systems that defend freedom and shape the future of defense.
Position OverviewTiberius Aerospace is seeking a Head of Communications to define how the world understands the company.
This is not a traditional corporate communications role. We are not looking for someone to manage an inherited playbook, maintain a routine press calendar, or simply react to the business as it evolves. We are looking for a communications architect — someone who can translate complex technology, ambitious founders, consequential programs, tests, setbacks, wins, contracts, and ideas into a narrative that is clear, memorable, and strategically powerful.
This role will work directly with the CEO, founders, CMO, product leaders, engineers, government teams, customers, and partners to shape not only what Tiberius says, but when it says it, who says it, and why it matters.
The ideal candidate is an exceptional writer, editor, strategist, and operator with strong judgment, high standards, and the ability to move quickly in an environment where timelines shift, information is incomplete, and the stakes are high.
What You’ll Do- Build and own the communications strategy behind Tiberius’s ambition to become one of the defining companies of the new defense industrial base
- Develop and sharpen the company’s external narrative: what Tiberius believes, what it is building, why it matters, and why its approach is different
- Help founders become consequential voices in the conversations shaping defense, technology, and national security
- Identify the ideas worth owning and develop speeches, essays, interviews, posts, statements, and strategic moments that are unmistakably theirs
- Work directly with engineers and product teams to understand what is being built and translate deeply technical work into compelling, accurate communications
- Create communications strategies around launches, tests, demonstrations, milestones, deployments, partnerships, contracts, and new capabilities
- Build trusted relationships with journalists across defense, technology, business, policy, and national security
- Advise leadership through criticism, misinformation, sensitive programs, difficult questions, and high-stakes reputation moments
- Build the communications organization, operating cadence, and systems required for the company Tiberius is becoming
- Develop and continually refine Tiberius’s external narrative
- Define the position Tiberius can own across defense, technology, government, capital markets, and culture
- Ensure the company is increasingly difficult to misunderstand — and increasingly difficult to ignore
- Work directly with founders to shape their voice in the public conversation
- Identify the arguments, positions, and ideas worth owning
- Develop speeches, essays, interviews, and posts that strengthen founder voice without diluting it
- Partner with engineers and product teams to understand what is actually being built
- Translate technical work clearly and credibly without oversimplifying it
- Develop communications strategies around launches, tests, demonstrations, milestones, deployments, and engineering breakthroughs
- Know the difference between something technically impressive and something genuinely newsworthy
- Build and manage trusted relationships with journalists and outlets shaping conversations across defense, technology, business, policy, and national security
- Know when to pursue a story, when to offer background, when exclusivity matters, and when the press is not the right channel
- Lead major communications moments involving:
- New weapons and platforms
- Flight and live-fire testing
- Government contracts
- International expansion
- Manufacturing
- Partnerships
- Operational milestones
- GRAIL and software
- Capital events
- Company growth
- Founder point of view
- Help leadership navigate scrutiny, criticism, misinformation, and sensitive moments with speed and sound judgment
- Bring clarity and discipline to communications where technology, geopolitics, public opinion, and national security intersect
- Build the communications capability required for a rapidly scaling defense company
- Establish team structure, agency relationships, processes, launch systems, rapid-response frameworks, measurement, and operating cadence
- Leave behind a function substantially stronger and more sophisticated than the one you inherited
- 10+ years of experience across communications, journalism, technology, defense, government, public affairs, policy, or a similarly high-consequence environment
- Exceptional writing and editing skills across multiple formats, from executive communications to public narrative
- Strong editorial judgment and the ability to identify the most compelling angle in a complex story
- Experience working directly with founders, CEOs, or senior executives with strong points of view
- Ability to translate complex technical work into clear, credible, and differentiated external communications
- Strong understanding of media, influence, reputation, and how technology and public narrative shape one another
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, under changing timelines, and at high velocity
- A high-ownership mindset and the ability to build, not simply manage
- Experience building communications for an ambitious technology, aerospace, defense, or national security company
- Experience leading communications around products or technologies that required explanation before they could generate excitement
- Experience navigating launches, crises, regulatory environments, government customers, or geopolitical complexity
- Experience building or scaling a communications function
- Strong network across defense, technology, business, policy, national security, and mainstream media
- Someone unusually good at identifying the interesting thing
- Someone who can sit with an engineer for thirty minutes and find the sentence everyone else missed
- Someone who understands technology, power, media, and the internet — and how those forces increasingly collide
- Someone comfortable around founders with strong opinions and high standards
- Someone who knows the difference between being provocative and being interesting, between being loud and being important, and between attention and reputation
- Someone who can write — really write — and recognize great writing in others
- Someone with taste, precision, speed, and conviction
There are rare moments when a company, an industry, and the world change at the same time. Defense is in one of those moments.
The systems being built now will influence how deterrence works, how wars are fought, how allied nations collaborate, and how quickly technology reaches the people who need it. The companies that define this era will need more than extraordinary engineering. They will need extraordinary clarity about what they believe and why they exist.
This role offers the opportunity to build that clarity at Tiberius.
