What You'll Do
Build Ibotta's B2B Brand & Narrative
Develop and own a cohesive communications strategy that positions Ibotta as a leading enterprise technology company and IPN as the definitive performance marketing platform for CPG brands
Drive a deliberate shift in how Ibotta is perceived by the industry — from consumer loyalty app to full-stack B2B technology partner
Craft compelling messaging frameworks that resonate with CPG, retail, agency, and adtech leaders
Champion a narrative that repositions promotional spend from a cost center to a growth lever, with IPN as the modern alternative to legacy solutions
Earn Media & Thought Leadership
Partner closely with the marketing team to identify, develop, and amplify thought leadership opportunities across earned media, trade press, and industry publications
Cultivate a vast network of journalists, editors, and analysts across top tier CPG, retail media, and adtech publications
Develop a steady pipeline of bylines, contributed content, and speaking opportunities that reinforce Ibotta's enterprise positioning
Use media monitoring and share-of-voice analytics to measure program effectiveness, identify coverage gaps, and make the case internally for where communications investment is — and isn't — moving the needle
Executive Visibility & Speaker Programs
Develop and manage an executive communications program that places the CEO and CRO on prominent stages at marquee industry events (e.g., CES, Cannes Lions, NRF, GroceryShop)
Serve as a trusted communications advisor and thought partner to the CEO and CRO — working closely with both to sharpen their public voices, media presence, and industry positioning
Prepare executives for media engagements, speaking opportunities, and high-stakes partner conversations through rigorous messaging prep and media training
Build the public profiles of Ibotta's senior leaders as credible, sought-after voices in retail media and performance marketing
Help executives develop and sustain a consistent, recognizable point of view across digital channels and industry forums — ensuring their perspectives reach relevant audiences between stage appearances and media moments
Partner & Stakeholder Communications
Develop communications strategies and materials that support and deepen relationships with Ibotta's key distribution and retail partners, including Walmart, Instacart, and others
Serve as a strategic communications partner to business development and sales teams, ensuring partner-facing narratives are sharp, consistent, and compelling
Manage announcements, co-marketing moments, and milestone communications in close coordination with partners
Team & Agency Leadership
Lead and mentor one direct report, with the opportunity to grow the team as the function scales
Own the relationship with Ibotta's leading external PR agency — setting strategy, managing priorities, and holding the partnership accountable to outcomes
What We're Looking For
12+ years of communications experience, with significant time spent in B2B technology, adtech, retail media, or CPG-adjacent industries
A track record of building disruptive, category challenger narratives with demonstrated experience reframing how a market thinks about a product or strategy
Comfortable operating as both a strategic leader and hands-on executor in a fast-moving, founder-led environment — with the builder instincts to create from scratch and the credibility to earn trust at the executive level
Proven track record of securing meaningful earned media coverage and building editorial relationships with blue chip publications
Deep experience developing executive thought leadership programs with measurable outcomes (stage placements, bylines, share of voice)
Existing relationships with trade and business press covering CPG, retail, and adtech
Exceptional written and verbal communication with the ability to translate complex technology into crisp, executive-ready narratives
