We're looking for a highly-talented, results-oriented communications professional to join the Communications Team. The team advances Affirm’s business objectives in conjunction with building and protecting the company’s reputation. We do this by working closely with the media, using consistent and compelling narratives, and identifying creative storytelling opportunities.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter, persuasive storyteller, critical thinker, and problem solver. They are an excellent writer, highly organized, and detail-oriented.

• Develop and execute communications strategies for key company initiatives, including merchant announcements, product launches and thought leadership, creating materials such as blog posts, press releases, talking points, FAQs, and media lists
• Identify, research and design unique story angles that proactively insert Affirm into the conversation or enable meaningful participation
• Manage complex issues impacting multiple audiences, collaborating closely with XFN business partners to ensure consistent and compelling communications to clients, consumers, and media 
• Coach executives, providing media training, key message development, and interview preparation
• Build and manage relationships with members of the media reaching consumers and merchants

• Strong writer and communicator who is confident pitching ideas internally and externally
