About the Job

Array Labs is looking for a Technical Communications Lead to shape how we tell our story to customers, investors, and partners. This is a hands-on strategic communications role at a fast-moving company: you'll be writing, designing, and producing the materials that represent Array Labs in high-stakes conversations. In investor presentations, government capability briefs, and one-page leave behinds, you'll help define how Array Labs positions itself in the market, shaping the narrative architecture underpinning our external engagement. Your work will sit at the center of how Array Labs presents itself to the world.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with engineering, business development, and brand design to translate highly technical content into accessible, compelling narratives
• Build and maintain pitch decks, sales presentations, and briefing materials for government and commercial audiences
• Write clear, persuasive copy that communicates Array Labs' value proposition and products across different contexts and buyers
• Design slide layouts and produce data visualization content to make complex technical concepts intuitive, accessible, and compelling
• Contribute to marketing and pitch materials, crafting compelling narratives for target audiences

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Engineering, Government, History, or other Liberal Arts degrees
• 2+ years of relevant work experience
• Demonstrated experience in writing, communications, marketing, investor relations, product marketing, or making powerpoint presentations
• Proven ability to work with highly technical subject matter and extract clear, compelling narratives from engineers and experts for non-technical audiences
• Strong writing and slide design skills with hands-on ownership of written content, data visualization, and visual layout (PowerPoint, Google Slides)
• Comfortability establishing ownership while operating in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment, with an eye for detail and product consistency

Preferred Skills & Experience

• 3–5 years in a writing-heavy, content-forward, or communications-focused role, ideally at a defense tech, aerospace, satellite, or similarly technical company
• Background in a STEM field or strong communications training, ideally both, with the ability to hold your own in a room of engineers and translate for a variety of audiences (including government customers, commercial customers, peer satellite companies, and investors)
• Experience developing and owning communications or messaging strategy, crafting narrative frameworks for a product line or brand
• Experience translating data and metrics into clear, persuasive charts and visuals
• Familiarity with government procurement, proposal writing, or Government contracting
• Strong editorial judgment and a low tolerance for jargon and filler
• Prior experience at a high-growth startup or early-stage company where communications and/or marketing function was being built, not inherited
