MinIO is the industry leader in high-performance object storage and the company behind the world’s fastest, most widely deployed object store, powering production infrastructure for more than half of the Fortune 500, including 9 of the 10 largest global automakers and all 10 of the largest U.S. banks. Our enterprise offering, AIStor, is engineered to handle the scale, speed, and pressure of modern AI and analytics, from terabytes to exabytes, all in a single namespace.
The Vice President of Communications is responsible for defining and leading a comprehensive brand and communications strategy that aligns with MinIO’s mission and market positioning. In this role, you will drive brand awareness, strengthen the company’s reputation, and craft compelling narratives that engage software architects, IT executives, enterprises, and investors.
The ideal candidate is a strategic and creative storyteller with proven writing expertise, a deep understanding of the technology ecosystem, and experience managing global teams and complex narratives. This leader will collaborate with the executive team to shape high-impact communications, lead critical messaging efforts, and inspire teams to elevate the MinIO brand on a global scale. This is a rare opportunity to shape the communications function at a high-growth, pre-IPO infrastructure company at the center of the AI transformation.
What You Will Do:
Communications Strategy
You will own the company's overarching communications agenda and translate business priorities into a clear, consistent external voice. This is the connective tissue between MinIO's strategy and how the market understands it.
Corporate messaging & Executive & thought leadership
As MinIO establishes itself as the leading data store for AI and analytics, this leader will shape the narratives that position the company — and its executives — at the center of that conversation.
Media and Analyst Relations
You will be the driving force behind how MinIO shows up in the press and with the analyst community. Strong, trusted relationships with reporters and analysts are central to building and protecting the company's reputation at scale.
Social Media Communications
Social is where much of MinIO's audience first encounters the brand and its leaders. You will shape a presence that amplifies the company's narrative and builds genuine influence across the platforms that matter to our technical and executive audiences.
GEO/AEO, SEO & Owned Channel Optimization
Ensure MinIO earns visibility and credibility across both traditional and AI-generated search environments.
Leadership & Collaboration
Beyond strategy, you will build and inspire the team and partnerships that bring communications to life. Success in this role depends on close collaboration across the business and the trust you earn as an advisor to senior leadership.
Your Skills and Experience:
This is a senior leadership role for someone who has done it before and is ready to do it at scale. We are looking for a candidate who brings the following:
