Corporate Communications Specialist (18-month contract)

Assent is the leading solution for supply chain sustainability tailored for the world’s top-tier, sustainability-driven manufacturers. Hidden risks riddle supply chains, many of which weren't built with sustainability in mind. That's where we step in. With insights from experts, Assent is the tool manufacturers trust for comprehensive sustainability.

We are proud to announce that Assent has crossed the US$100M ARR milestone, granting us Centaur Status. This accomplishment, reached just 8 years following our Series A, makes us the first and only Certified B Corporation in North America's SaaS sustainability industry to celebrate this milestone.

Our journey from $5 million to US$100M ARR in just eight years has been marked by significant growth and achievements. With our $350 million US funding led by Vista Equity Partners, we're poised for even greater expansion and are on the lookout for outstanding team members to join our mission.

Hybrid Work Model

At Assent, we proudly embrace a remote-first work model, valuing the flexibility and autonomy it provides our team. We also acknowledge the intangible benefits of occasional in-person workdays. For team members situated within 50 kms/31 miles of our five global offices in Ottawa, Eldoret, Penang, Columbus, and Amsterdam, you can expect to come into the office at least one day a week. Similarly, those near our co-working spaces in Nairobi and Toronto are encouraged to work onsite once a month.

We’re looking for a Corporate Communications Specialist to join our growing team on a 18-month contract, covering for a parental leave. This is a high-impact, highly visible role that supports our Director of Corporate Communications in shaping how the world sees and talks about Assent. From media relations to analyst outreach and social media, you’ll help ensure our biggest stories get told and get reused. You'll bring energy, organization, and storytelling savvy to amplify wins across channels, working with various teams across the company including Marketing, Sales and Regulatory Experts to keep the drumbeat going.

• Support public relations efforts by coordinating interviews, drafting press materials, tracking coverage, and liaising with agency partners.

• Collaborate on analyst relations initiatives by helping prepare briefings and inquiries, track interactions, and maintain up-to-date materials.

• Manage social media content calendar, write engaging LinkedIn posts, and coordinate with brand and design teams to bring content to life across platforms.

• Partner with our Content and Demand Generation team to ensure media and analyst content is integrated into sales conversations, email campaigns, the website, and more.

• Track performance and usage of corporate communications assets to ensure maximum ROI and reuse.

• Support internal communications, especially around major announcements or milestones.

We strongly value your talent and passion, but it would also be nice if you had the following experience and qualifications under your belt:

• 4+ years of experience in corporate communications, public relations, or content marketing ideally in a B2B tech, SaaS, or high-growth environment.

• Strong writing and editing skills, with a knack for translating complex ideas into clear, engaging messages.

• Ability to embrace AI tools to create efficiencies in all areas of work. 

• Experience working with PR or AR agencies and managing fast-moving projects with multiple stakeholders.

• Familiarity with social media platforms especially LinkedIn, publishing tools, and metrics.

• Comfort working in a highly collaborative, cross-functional team and juggling multiple priorities with grace.

• An organized, energetic, and proactive mindset. You take initiative, follow through, and love keeping things moving.
