Senior Manager, Marketing Communications

About The Role

This is a role for someone who thinks like a journalist: always curious, always scanning the news, always asking — so what does this mean for us? You will help drive Pub Matic’s earned media presence, thought leadership content, event communications, and research output — translating complex industry dynamics into sharp, credible narratives that move the business forward.

You will sit within a lean, high-impact corporate marketing team, reporting to the Senior Director of Corporate Marketing and partnering closely with Digital Marketing, Product Marketing, PR, and Sales. This is a role for someone who reads the trades over coffee, spots the angle before the meeting starts, and knows how to turn an industry trend into a company point of view.

• Drive Pub Matic’s thought leadership program by identifying story angles, developing pitchable narratives, and collaborating with PR partners to secure coverage in key trade outlets (AdExchanger, Digiday, Adweek, Ad Age)
• Monitor industry news daily and proactively identify newsjacking opportunities — translating fast-moving market developments into Pub Matic’s point of view in real time
• Support partner announcements, award submissions, and contributed content that builds Pub Matic’s credibility with industry audiences
• Support the development of Pub Matic’s research‑driven content — including whitepapers, industry reports, and data‑backed thought leadership — from concept through publication

• Develop talking points, messaging frameworks, and briefing materials that prepare Pub Matic’s leadership team for media interviews, conference appearances, and industry panels
• Support byline development and executive content across channels – working within clearly defined scope to amplify leadership voice without duplicating the Head of Communications function

• Lead content strategy and execution for Pub Matic’s owned and sponsored events – including agenda development, speaker selection and prep, keynote narratives, and presentation materials
• Write and edit executive presentations, conference talking points, and session content for internal and external spokespeople
• Ensure every speaking moment ladders up to Pub Matic’s broader narrative and business objectives

• Contribute to Pub Matic’s owned channels: blog, website copy, email, and event content – maintaining a consistent editorial voice across formats and audiences
• Develop content that maps directly to business priorities, supporting Sales, Product Marketing, and GTM teams with assets that build pipeline and credibility
• Partner with the Senior Manager of Digital Marketing to translate content into compelling social media programming – including executive video content, partner‑driven stories, event roundups, and campaign amplification

• Leverage AI tools as a core part of your workflow to increase output velocity, accelerate research, and iterate on drafts efficiently
• Bring the editorial judgment to know when AI assists and when human voice, nuance, and credibility must lead

• 5+ years of experience in marketing communications, content marketing, corporate communications, journalism, or PR – ideally with some background in ad tech, digital media, or a related technology sector
• A genuinely strong writer with demonstrated range: long‑form research and whitepapers, executive‑voice content, editorial commentary, and channel‑specific copy
• A journalist’s mindset: intellectual curiosity, news instincts, and the ability to quickly understand a complex, fast‑moving industry and identify what matters
• Experience developing research‑driven content – from scoping the topic and sourcing data to packaging findings for multiple audiences and formats
• Familiarity with the programmatic advertising ecosystem – SSPs, DSPs, CTV, retail media, identity, agentic AI – or a clear, demonstrable eagerness to develop deep domain fluency fast
• Proven ability to prepare and support executives for communications moments: interviews, panels, keynotes, and briefings
• Hands‑on experience with…
