Tiberius Aerospace is building the next generation of weapons systems for the United States, United Kingdom, and their allies.

We believe the future of defense will be built differently - with faster iteration, tighter integration between software and hardware, and a more modern approach to how mission‑critical systems are designed, tested, deployed, and improved. Tiberius is building technologies that do not stop evolving once they leave the factory, while helping shape a defense ecosystem that connects engineers, operators, manufacturers, governments, and allies into a continuously learning system.

To serve our nations with Strength, Honor, and Purpose - forging the systems that defend freedom and shape the future of defense.

Tiberius Aerospace is seeking a Head of Communications to define how the world understands the company. This is not a traditional corporate communications role. We are not looking for someone to manage an inherited playbook, maintain a routine press calendar, or simply react to the business as it evolves. We are looking for a communications architect - someone who can translate complex technology, ambitious founders, consequential programs, tests, setbacks, wins, contracts, and ideas into a narrative that is clear, memorable, and strategically powerful.

This role will work directly with the CEO, founders, CMO, product leaders, engineers, government teams, customers, and partners to shape not only what Tiberius says, but when it says it, who says it, and why it matters. The ideal candidate is an exceptional writer, editor, strategist, and operator with strong judgment, high standards, and the ability to move quickly in an environment where timelines shift, information is incomplete, and the stakes are high.

• Build and own the communications strategy behind Tiberius's ambition to become one of the defining companies of the new defense industrial base
• Develop and sharpen the company's external narrative: what Tiberius believes, what it is building, why it matters, and why its approach is different
• Help founders become consequential voices in the conversations shaping defense, technology, and national security
• Identify the ideas worth owning and develop speeches, essays, interviews, posts, statements, and strategic moments that are unmistakably theirs
• Work directly with engineers and product teams to understand what is being built and translate deeply technical work into compelling, accurate communications
• Create communications strategies around launches, tests, demonstrations, milestones, deployments, partnerships, contracts, and new capabilities
• Build trusted relationships with journalists across defense, technology, business, policy, and national security
• Advise leadership through criticism, misinformation, sensitive programs, difficult questions, and high‑stakes reputation moments
• Build the communications organization, operating cadence, and systems required for the company Tiberius is becoming

• Develop and continually refine Tiberius's external narrative
• Define the position Tiberius can own across defense, technology, government, capital markets, and culture
• Ensure the company is increasingly difficult to misunderstand - and increasingly difficult to ignore

• Work directly with founders to shape their voice in the public conversation
• Identify the arguments, positions, and ideas worth owning
• Develop speeches, essays, interviews, and posts that strengthen founder voice without diluting it

• Partner with engineers and product teams to understand what is actually being built
• Translate technical work clearly and credibly without oversimplifying it
• Develop communications strategies around launches, tests, demonstrations, milestones, deployments, and engineering breakthroughs
• Know the difference between something technically impressive and something genuinely newsworthy

• Build and manage trusted relationships with journalists and outlets shaping conversations across defense, technology, business, policy, and national security
• Know when to pursue a story, when to offer background, when exclusivity matters, and when the press is not the right channel

• Lead major communications…
