Head of PR & Communications

Teamflect is looking for a PR and communications lead with a deep, active network across US HR and enterprise tech media. You have done this for other B2B companies, you know the editors by name, and one email from you gets a story in front of the right journalist.

About Teamflect. Teamflect is the performance management platform built natively inside Microsoft Teams and Outlook. Performance reviews, goals and OKRs, 360 feedback, 1-on-1s, engagement surveys, recognition, development plans, succession planning and an AI agent all live where people already work, with no new app to adopt. Organizations worldwide run their performance cycles on Teamflect, and we are a fast-growing scale-up of around 50 people.

Why this role matters. Customers who find Teamflect stay with it. Now we want HR leaders and Microsoft 365 decision makers to hear about us before they ever start searching. You will lead that, with earned coverage at the core and paid media only as a complement.
