Head of Communications & Brand Innovation

At Socure, we’re on a mission—to verify 100% of good identities in real time and eliminate identity fraud from the internet.

Using predictive analytics and advanced machine learning trained on billions of signals to power RiskOS™, Socure has created the most accurate identity verification and fraud prevention platform in the world. Trusted by thousands of leading organizations—from top banks and fintechs to government agencies—we solve real, high-impact problems at scale. Come join us!

At Socure, we’re rewriting the future of digital identity, and we need a bold storyteller to help the world see it. As our Head of Communications & Brand Innovation, you won’t just manage press releases or analyst briefings; you’ll architect a new model of modern communications that blends strategic storytelling with cutting-edge distribution, and innovative brand distribution. From shaping narratives that resonate with risk leaders and technologists alike, to experimenting with emerging content channels and industry communities, you’ll ensure Socure’s voice is heard wherever it matters most.

The role is unique because it blends modern communications strategy with tech-enabled scale. Unlike traditional PR or analyst relations roles, the Head of Communications at Socure partners directly with a growth engineer to design and deploy agentic workflows that extend far beyond what a single team could achieve manually. Together, they create automated systems for content distribution, media and analyst monitoring, persona mapping, brand campaigns, and performance tracking, allowing the Head of Communication & Brand Innovation to focus on storytelling, positioning, and engagement strategy while technology handles execution at scale. This fusion of narrative expertise with engineering-powered automation transforms communications from a reactive function into a proactive, data-driven engine, ensuring Socure’s story reaches the right audiences, through the right channels, at the right time.

If you’re excited by the idea of transforming brand and communications into a proactive, tech-enabled growth engine, and shaping the narrative of a company that is redefining the future of identity, this is the role for you.
