About the role

  • With Couchbase, organizations bring their data to life, launching game‑changing customer experiences, exploring the limitless potential of AI, and seamlessly extending applications from the cloud to the edge and beyond.
  • Couchbase's AI‑ready technology and enterprise partnership model eliminate complexity and reduce total cost of ownership, enabling teams to stay agile, innovative and secure.
  • Couchbase believes data should never slow you down, but act as the foundation for your next breakthrough.

Responsibilities

  • Create and deliver quarterly PR impact reports.
  • Cultivate and maintain active relationships with key business, trade, and mainstream tech journalists.
  • Actively manage the creation, internal review, and approval process for critical content assets.
  • Own the pre-briefing process, ensuring executives walk into every media interview and conference session with the right talking points mapped to the correct strategic narrative pillar.
  • Partner Announcement Gatekeeping:
  • Serve as the internal checkpoint for all partner and co-marketing announcements, ensuring they align with a credibility-first approach (e.g., requiring a joint customer).
  • Manage stakeholders and internal teams to prevent premature publishing of blog posts and web pages that would undermine the PR team's intent to pitch news as exclusive.
  • Coordinate with the agency on draft thought leadership articles, manage review cycles, and maintain the posting schedule, ensuring ghostwritten content is delivered to completion.
  • Drive the editing and approval process for high-quality press releases, briefing documents, media kits, executive speeches, and thought leadership articles.
  • Own the bi-weekly reporting cadence for the measurement framework (share of voice tracking, message pull through, narrative pillar alignment audits, AI Overview monitoring, and CRM source attribution).

Requirements

  • 5-7 years of experience in corporate communications, public relations, or a closely related discipline, including time spent supporting senior executives.
  • Bachelor's degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, or a related field.
  • Direct experience in B2B technology, enterprise software, data infrastructure, databases, cloud, or AI/ML categories.
  • Demonstrated track record managing high-volume editorial pipelines and shepherding content from draft to external publication across multiple stakeholders.
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to operate under pressure, including comfort with same-day and four-hour rapid response cycles.
  • Experience managing or partnering with external PR, communications, or thought leadership agencies.
  • Familiarity with the competitive landscape across Oracle, Databricks, Snowflake, MongoDB, and emerging vector database and AI infrastructure vendors.
  • Hands-on experience with communications measurement tools and frameworks, including share of voice, narrative alignment audits, AI Overview / generative search monitoring, and CRM source attribution.
  • Experience supporting a company through periods of significant change, such as leadership transitions, rebrands, repositioning, or M&A.
  • Familiarity using AI tools such as Claude or Gemini.
  • Required
  • Proven experience preparing executives for press interviews and conference appearances, including developing message frameworks and talking points.
  • Sharp editorial judgment, with excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills across a range of formats (press releases, bylines, social, internal briefs).
  • Strong cross-functional stakeholder management, especially across PR, product marketing, sales, and legal teams.
