Full Job Description

ABOUT US: At Quartermaster AI, we believe the ocean should be a safe and sustainably managed resource for all. By leveraging cutting-edge AI and robotics, we unlock capabilities that were only recently impossible. Our distributed open-ocean systems enable every vessel to sense, compute, and communicate, enhancing maritime domain awareness for those who need it most.

You will be expected to exercise strong judgment—knowing what to say, what not to say, and how to say it in environments where precision and national security context matter. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Partner with technical teams to translate maritime autonomy and AI breakthroughs into compelling stories for diverse audiences. - Author briefs, speeches, and talking points for leadership in preparation for high-stakes meetings and public appearances. - Manage inbound media requests and proactively shape our public presence with precision and speed. - Act as the bridge between engineering, operations, and external stakeholders to ensure messaging is both technically accurate and highly impactful. - Exercise high-level judgment in "gray area" situations, determining the optimal tone and content for sensitive defense and emerging technology topics. - Produce high-quality written content that influences how our technical ideas and hardware deployments are understood globally.
