Grammarly offers a remote-first hybrid working model. Team members can work primarily remotely. Teams will meet in person every quarter in one of Grammarly’s hubs, currently in San Francisco, Vancouver, New York, and Kyiv. To ensure that teams are able to overlap in their working hours and to meet face-to-face when needed, all team members need to live within three time zones of their direct team.

Grammarly team members who will be collaborating at our San Francisco hub must be based in the United States.

The opportunity 

Grammarly empowers people to thrive and connect, whenever and wherever they communicate. Every day, 30 million people and 30,000 teams around the world use our AI-powered writing assistant. All of this begins with our team collaborating in a values-driven and learning-oriented environment. 

To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for a Corporate Communications Lead to join our growing Communications team. The person in this role will lead Grammarly’s corporate communications strategy and oversee its execution. Reporting to the Head of Communications, the Corporate Communications Lead will own Grammarly’s communications efforts across three key dimensions: corporate messaging and storytelling, employer brand communications, and corporate issues management.

Your impact

This is a first-of-its-kind leadership role at Grammarly. From helping to define employer brand communications to best-in-class corporate storytelling and messaging, to guiding corporate issues and financial communications efforts, you will work to ensure our corporate communications are optimized for Grammarly to realize its audacious vision.

In this role, you will:

  • Manage and grow a team of individual contributors in a variety of communications roles, setting priorities and overseeing career paths for each.
  • Define and maintain Grammarly’s corporate messaging and content strategy, including multiple executive platforms.
  • Define and lead Grammarly’s global employer brand communications strategy.
  • Lead Grammarly’s corporate issues response and crisis communications strategy.

Curious about what you’ll focus on first?

  • In your first 30 days, you will deep-dive on company strategy and business goals, as well as familiarize yourself with Grammarly’s past and current communications strategies, plans, and processes. You’ll also learn about Grammarly’s product roadmap and corporate priorities while you begin to build relationships with key team members.
  • By month three, you will take over management of two communications team members. You’ll audit existing corporate brand content and messaging for inconsistencies and gaps, and create a plan to enhance both based on business needs. You’ll identify priority employer brand communications needs and build out a communications strategy to meet those needs. You’ll also define corporate issues management protocols and partner with the Communications leadership team to optimize our external agency support model and other processes.
  • By month six, you’ll grow the corporate communications team from two to four, which will include clearly defining roles and responsibilities across the team. You’ll also continue executing your defined corporate communications strategies. Finally, you’ll develop a rolling annual plan for the corporate communications team.

We’re looking for someone who

  • Embodies our EAGER values—is ethical, adaptable, gritty, empathetic, and remarkable.
  • Has a successful track record of managing and growing top-performing teams (across multiple countries or regions is a plus).
  • Has experience crafting and executing corporate communications strategies (employer brand and financial communications experience is a plus).
  • Is comfortable building rapid response and crisis communications processes and leading the company through an issue.
  • Is a storyteller who can connect seemingly disparate ideas into a logical, coherent whole, and effectively create key messages to drive compelling content development.
  • Has impeccable project management skills, with keen attention to detail, accuracy, and follow-through.
  • Thinks strategically, connects dots, and has a proven track record of building partnerships across an organization to meet shared objectives.

Support for you, professionally and personally

  • Professional growth: We hire people we trust, and we give team members autonomy to do their best work. We also support professional development with training, coaching, and regular feedback.
  • A connected team: Grammarly builds a product that helps people connect, and we apply this mindset to our own team. We have a highly collaborative culture supported by our EAGER values. We also take time to celebrate our colleagues and accomplishments with global, local, and team-specific events and programs.
  • Comprehensive benefits: Grammarly offers all team members competitive pay along with a benefits package encompassing superior health care (including mental health benefits). We also offer support to set up a home office, ample and defined time off, gym and recreation stipends, 401(k) matching, and more.
  • For Colorado-based employment: The salary range for this position is $99,000–- $217,000/year; however, base pay offered may vary considerably depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The compensation package includes a wide range of medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits, as well as equity.

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

It is expected that this will be a requirement for this role. Qualified candidates in North America who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons or because of a sincerely held religious belief may request a reasonable accommodation to this policy. For Ukraine, this policy requires team members to be vaccinated or produce a daily negative COVID-19 test administered at the Kyiv hub to work from the hub or attend in-person meetings.

An Insider's view of Grammarly

What’s the vibe like in the office?

Our values actually represent our team. Discussions about ethical decision-making or tweeting empathetically are common at Grammarly, and I recognize how rare that is.

Celeste

Senior Content Strategy Manager

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

We resolve our problems with constructive discussions that are only made possible by the level of empathy and listening skills that team members have here. It makes me happy to know I work with such exceptional people.

Maryna

Engineering Manager

What is your vision for the company?

Writing helps us all achieve personal, professional, and academic success, but effective communication requires talent and time. It can be very challenging, and we may not always be able to effectively express our meaning, convey our intent, and be fully understood—creating a gap with our audience. We’re building Grammarly to close this gap.

Brad

CEO

What projects are you most excited about?

I always feel pumped when I see the positive feedback we get from our users. To know that your work is helping people discover a product that meaningfully improves their lives—it never gets old.

Shanik

Head of Growth
