Growth Roles summary, based on the employer's posting.
What you'll do
- Set and hold a public posting rhythm so the company never goes silent
- Carry the founders' voices into long-form writing, talks, and podcasts
- Hunt down customer stories and publish them at a trust-building pace
- Jump into the AI conversations that matter and shape Edra's take
- Work with the founders to name and frame a new category rather than another AI startup
What you bring
- A track record of high-stakes work at a serious company, often beside founders or senior leaders
- Someone who ships solo: briefs it, writes it, edits it, no team needed to produce
- Active presence in the AI community with clear opinions on where Edra fits
- Range across formats plus an ear for real founder voice versus corporate filler
- Technical understanding without coding; familiarity with white-box AI, continual learning, and agentic execution helps
Who this fits
This suits a founder-minded writer and operator who produces polished output alone and lives in the online AI discourse. Expect to define a brand-new function from scratch and set its cadence in your first months. You must work onsite five days a week in the West Village, New York. It rejects anyone drawn to committee-driven PR or LLM-flavored boilerplate.
From the employer
About Edra
Edra is solving one of the hardest problems in enterprise AI: AI models are generic but company processes are specific. We build AI agents that learn how processes actually run, and then run their operations.
We're a Series A startup, backed by Sequoia and other leading VC firms, led by Co-Founders who created and led Forward Deployed AI Engineering at Palantir, and we're growing our team in New York and London. We're a deeply technical team of engineers, AI researchers, and strategists with a high bar for talent and a shared belief that exceptional people are the foundation of everything great we'll build.
We’re hiring for a critical role
We’re looking for someone who thinks like a founder, writes like an editor, and ships like an operator.
Edra's work is outpacing its story. Our launch out of stealth resonated and real enterprise customers are in production. But the external presence has been uneven since launch, and the mission—making expertise scalable and preserving institutional knowledge—doesn't yet have the public articulation it deserves.
This is the role that builds that. It sits between the founders, customers, team, and public, and produces clarity where it matters most. It’s not marketing, not PR, and most importantly, it’s not strategy without execution.
The opportunity
Most organizations run on judgment that's never been written down. Edra captures how work actually happens and makes that knowledge structured, editable, and executable. Experts become authors; operators become directors; institutional judgment becomes durable infrastructure. We are building a company and product around the belief that operational knowledge is the next thing that becomes software infrastructure, and this role defines how we talk about that to the world.
In your first three months, you’ll establish the function and the cadence: revive the public presence, build the voice of the founders, ship the first customer stories, and articulate the category-defining language.
What you'll own
Public cadence. Own the rhythm: define it, own the calendar, ship regularly and on time, and don't let the company go quiet.
Industry engagement. Shape Edra’s perspective on trending industry conversations, and make sure we’re engaged in the right threads, discussions, and debates.
Founder voice. Extend Eugen and Yannis's voices to the world: long-form pieces, talks, podcasts, and more. Every piece compounds—recruiting, customer education, market credibility.
Customer storytelling. Edra's best artifact is our customers' work. Find those stories, draw them out, and ship them at a cadence that builds trust without exhausting anyone.
Recruiting narrative. Make Edra's culture and engineering philosophy legible to the people who'd thrive here, before they ever apply.
Category definition. Partner with the founders to shape how Edra is understood—the company defining a new paradigm, not "another AI startup."
What we're looking for
You've done work that mattered at a serious company, ideally partnering with founders or other key leaders at moments of inflection.
You ship—both high volume and high quality. You produce the brief, edit yourself, and don't wait for a team to deliver output.
You’re online and engaged in the AI community. You have perspectives on industry thought leaders and where Edra fits in, and you’ve thought about what we need to post, engage with, or respond to before you even get to the office in the morning (whether on X/Twitter, LinkedIn, or elsewhere).
You write across formats with taste, and you can distinguish authentic founder voice from corporate boilerplate.
You hold technical depth without writing code. Comfort with white-box AI, continual learning, and agentic execution is a plus.
You're allergic to slop—no corporate PR, no committee-shaped voice, and nothing that reads like it was written by an LLM.
