The Opportunity Teneo's San Francisco office is growing, and the Senior Vice President will be one of the people who shapes it. You will work with a small, senior team that helps technology companies through moments of significant transition. Our clients are also rethinking what communications means inside their companies, and this role gives you a front-row seat to that work. You will do excellent client work now and help build the office's reputation in the Bay Area over time. Who We're Looking For Someone who understands how technology companies work from the inside, especially dynamic startups and their founders. The strongest candidates have built or rebuilt something: a team, a function, a process, or a way of working. We value in-house experience at technology companies, and we also welcome agency and advisory professionals with deep tech-client experience who bring the same builder's mindset. Responsibilities Manage complex strategic communications planning and execution, using every lever together: earned media, social, events, executive visibility, and non-traditional media such as podcasts, newsletters, and online video. Oversee day-to-day account work and make sure deliverables are high quality, including strategic plans, messaging frameworks, press releases, talking points, presentations, Q&A documents, and briefing memos. Help clients through moments of transition, such as fundraising, IPO readiness, leadership changes, and shifts in business model or technology. Show how communications drives business results, and help clients think about how their communications function should evolve. Use your understanding of emerging-technology companies to help clients stay ahead of market trends. Serve as a reliable, adaptable resource for senior team members, and lead and develop the people working with you. Partner with Teneo senior management and other Teneo divisions to identify client needs and deliver integrated solutions. Bring new ideas to how the team works, including using AI tools to improve quality and speed. Represent Teneo in the Bay Area business community and help build our presence and reputation. Foster a team culture where quality and client satisfaction come first. Qualifications 10+ years of relevant experience managing complex communications programs across stakeholder groups within technology, media, financial services, or healthcare. Experience counseling senior executives and working with external financial and legal advisors. <li data-leveltext=
