Senior Communications Manager

At Verda, we're building a fully featured European AI cloud, covering everything needed to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models at scale.

We are a full-stack AI infrastructure company, meaning we design, operate, and optimize the compute powering modern AI workloads across training and inference. Our infrastructure runs on 100% renewable energy, helping build a more sustainable AI ecosystem.

Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.

In this role, you will lead external communications and reputation management for Verda in the UK. The work covers both strategy and hands‑on execution as we scale.

Your responsibilities include shaping Verda's communications strategy in one of its key markets and the company's external narrative. You'll work on media relations, executive visibility, announcements, and crisis communications, and build trusted relationships with Verda's external stakeholders.

You collaborate closely with Government Relations, Marketing, Operations and our wider Communications team to build positions, keep external messaging consistent and timely, and monitor coverage and industry conversation to spot opportunities and risks.

You work as part of our Global Communications team, and report to our Head of Communications.
