Job Title: Research Marketing Lead/Head of PR
Type of job: full-time
#### Location: Remote
About the role
micro1 wants a Research Marketing Lead who decides how its benchmarks, research, and technical work are positioned, released, and taken up across the AI world.
The job blends research, go-to-market, communications, and strategy. Working closely with the research team and leadership, you'll spot high-impact opportunities, check quality before anything is published, and turn technical results into stories that win attention, adoption, and citations.
For the right person, the role can grow into PR, executive communications, company strategy, and Chief of Staff-type projects, making you one of leadership's closest strategic advisers as micro1 grows.
#### What You'll Do
- Own quality checks on research and benchmarks before release, making sure they are rigorous, credible, and clear.
- Set and carry out go-to-market plans for research, from release through adoption and citation.
- Explain complex research and methods in clear, persuasive stories while keeping the technical depth.
- Help set the research agenda by spotting topics and projects the market will care about.
- Build ties with AI labs, researchers, the media, and influential voices in the industry.
- Measure attention, adoption, citations, and real-world use to guide later research and go-to-market choices.
- Work with leadership on strategic communications, how the company is positioned, and other top-priority projects.
- Possibly grow into wider PR, Chief of Staff duties, and executive communications as micro1 grows.
#### What We're Looking For
- Background in benchmarks, technical research, AI/ML products, or fields that are just as technically complex.
- Solid record of building go-to-market plans for research or technical products.
- Can turn complicated technical ideas into clear stories that stand out.
- Outstanding writing and speaking skills.
- Solid knowledge of the AI research and tech landscape.
- Background building ties with the media, researchers, technical leaders, or voices in the industry.
- Strong ownership, able to take unclear projects from idea to delivery.
- Sound strategic judgment, and at ease working hand in hand with top leadership.
#### Preferred
- Education or experience in AI, ML, computer science, or a related technical area.
- Background at an AI lab, AI-native firm, research organization, or deeply technical startup.
- Background working hand in hand with executives, founders, or research leaders.
- Knowledge of academic publishing, benchmarks, and citations.
- Background in media relations, PR, strategic projects, or executive communications.
