Head of Communications (New Media)

ABOUT SUPABASE Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth. ABOUT THE ROLE Traditional PR is fading — we go directly to our audience. This role brings together what used to be two separate seats, communications and social media, into one mid-to-senior, hands-on role: owning Supabase's voice in the channels where developers actually pay attention, and building our founders' presence in them. "New media" here means modern and direct, not traditional press — we care far more about getting our founders onto the right podcasts and YouTube channels than landing a New York Times placement. It's part comms, part social operator, with a sharper edge than a typical polite PR hire: someone willing to put an opinion out there and push a little rather than always play it safe. But it's not just a social media job either — this person also needs the poise and technical credibility to lead comms through genuinely high-stakes moments, like a major incident, where reporters, investors, and customers all need a calm, credible, technically fluent voice at the same time. WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR - Make sure we're part of the current conversation and are going directly to our audience — new media over old-world press - Own and execute our new media strategy - Run and grow Supabase's X + LinkedIn accounts, hands on keyboard - Help build the accounts of our founders and team — including ghostwriting in their voice - Explore and exploit unconventional channels and formats - Book our cofounders on the most known shows, podcasts, and YouTube channels in our space - Work directly with DevRel and the PMM team on launches and Select - Manage comms around incidents, funding, and other high-stakes moments — crisis comms handled with poise and technical credibility (this is key) YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU - Excellent writer with a distinctive voice — equally strong posting as yourself and ghostwriting for others - Track record of growing accounts, ideally for a technical audience - Unconventional thinker — willing to put an opinion out there and push a little, with the judgment to know when - Seasoned enough for the serious moments — incidents, funding, press — calm, credible, and technically fluent - High agency — you're probably already doing a version of this somewhere scrappier WHAT WE OFFER - Fully Remote We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world. - ESOP Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together. - Tech Allowance Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work. - Health Benefits Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are.

It’s a highlight of our year. - Flexible Work We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when. - Professional Development Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.
