Chief Corporate Communications & Brand Strategy

All Jobs >
Head of Corporate Communications

Fermi America is building Project Matador, a 17GW private power and AI infrastructure campus in the Texas Panhandle. By integrating natural gas, nuclear, utility power, solar, and battery storage, Fermi is creating the power platform needed to support hyperscale AI and advanced computing on a timeline the traditional grid cannot meet.

We move with urgency, operate at exceptional scale, and communicate with precision. As construction accelerates and Fermi's public profile grows, we are seeking a communications leader who can help define, strengthen, and protect the company's reputation.

The Role

The Head of Corporate Communications will serve as Fermi America's senior communications leader and primary steward of the company's Brand and corporate narrative.

This executive will develop and lead an integrated communications strategy for a broad range of stakeholders, including customers, employees, investors, media, policymakers, community partners, prospective employees, and the public. The role will own external communications, media relations, executive communications, issues and crisis response, brand presence, and corporate content, while dedicating approximately 20–30% of its scope to employee communications, culture, and employer brand.

This is a hands-on leadership role. The successful candidate must be equally comfortable advising executives on sensitive matters, responding to a fast-moving media inquiry, drafting a high-stakes statement, preparing a leader for an interview, and building the communications processes required by a rapidly scaling public company.

The position may initially operate as a senior individual contributor and agency leader, with the opportunity to build an internal communications team as the company grows.
