Director of PR and Corporate Communications

San Francisco, CA

At Qualia, we’ve built a new class of real estate technology that simplifies home buying and selling into an easy, understandable, and secure process. Our products bring together users from across the real estate ecosystem—homebuyers and sellers, lenders, title and escrow agents, and real estate agents—onto a single shared platform, providing greater clarity and transparency to real estate transactions. Today, millions of consumers use Qualia to close on homes every year.

• Build and implement executive communications and thought leadership plans -- including speaker & awards programs, byline and contributed articles -- to build awareness, preference, and affinity for Qualia.
• Have solid digital communications experience, including metrics analysis.
• Possess journalist-quality writing skills to create pitches, news releases, op-eds, fact sheets, talking points, blog posts, social media posts and executive briefing documents.
• Be a self-starter who approaches everything with drive, urgency, and energy.
• A background in technology companies — bonus points for a combination of B2B and consumer-facing products
• Experience and comfort with coaching/partnering with executives
• Build, lead, coach and develop a team of communications professionals and agency partners.

YOUR BACKGROUND THAT LIKELY MAKES YOU A MATCH

• You have 8+ years of experience in corporate communications, preferably having worked in-house.
• You are mission-driven and ready to make a significant impact on the real estate industry.
• You can write exceptional talking points about a subject you were just briefed on.
• You are curious and enjoy learning about real estate, finance, and property use.
• You have an eye for unconventional narratives — you should be a natural storyteller who sees the bigger picture in every piece of data, product launch, or new development.
