Head of Communications

About the Role :

We’re hiring a Head of Communications to lead all external communications for Vals AI.

This role is for someone who can move fast, write clearly, and translate technical work into narratives people care about. You’ll work closely with our leadership team to shape our public voice and manage how Vals AI shows up across platforms, press, and community.

We’re building the standard for evaluating real-world AI capability, and you’ll play a key role in shaping how that work is communicated and understood.

Requirements :

Strong writing skills and a clear sense of narrative and tone.

Experience managing social media, press, or communications in tech or AI.

A portfolio that shows your work (content, press, campaigns, or brand storytelling).

Comfort working cross-functionally with leadership, research, and design.

Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple projects at once.

We’re an in‑person team based in San Francisco. We can support relocation or transport as needed.

What we offer :

Highly competitive salary and meaningful ownership. Excellence is well rewarded.

Relocation and transportation support.

Health / dental insurance coverage.

Lunch and dinner provided, free snacks / coffee / drinks.

Unlimited PTO.

About us : Founding team :

The core methodology behind this platform comes from NLP evaluation research we had done at Stanford. We raised a 5M seed from some of the top institutional and angel investors in the valley. Our team has prior work experience at NVIDIA, Meta, Microsoft, Palantir and HRT. Collectively, we have over 300 citations in our published work.

What we’re looking for :

Intelligence

is more important than a good‑looking resume. Industry experience and pedigree valuable only insofar as it is a proxy for talent itself.

Ownership

to create products. We don’t have the scale or time to actively “manage” every project or task. Working in a small, talent‑dense team, we expect everyone to show initiative to build where it’s needed, not where it’s asked. We strive for autonomy over consensus.

Intensity . The LLM landscape is constantly changing. Foundation model labs are continuously pushing the frontier, enterprises are seeing massive pressure to adopt technology, startups are hungry to chase the white space. The unicorn companies that will emerge from this technology shift are being built now. Those that win will have an incredibly high speed of execution.

See solutions not problems . We’re not looking for people that pass hard problems to others or admit defeat, but instead only see the opportunity to craft solutions at each juncture.
