Head of Media - Taktile

Role Details

Location: New York, Berlin or London Office

Employment Type: Full-time or advisor roles possible

Location Type: Hybrid

Department: Marketing

Compensation (NYC): Cash compensation $180K – $320K + Equity

Overview

At Taktile, we believe in the power of new media in B2B SaaS. It’s not just Forbes or Gartner or The Times anymore that shape mindshare. Today, it’s about owning and driving your own narrative on new media channels. By new media, we mean media created, frequented, and moderated by users – think blogs, newsletters, podcasts, and of course social media. This includes most owned media: platforms where you can publish your own story directly.

We are hiring a Head of Media to drive the company’s narrative across these channels. This is not traditional corporate comms. It’s about creating moments that matter, and building a meaningful following that shifts industries.

This role will be awarded through the Taktile Media Challenge, a public, skill-based contest. To be considered, you must enter the challenge and be selected as the grand prize winner. The opportunity is conditional on passing a background check and other checks including culture & value fit.

To enter, please submit your original Linkedin campaign idea via the application Typeform. To get the Typeform, please comment on our CEO Maik Taro Wehmeyer’s Linkedin post about the Taktile Media Challenge - we will share the application form via Linkedin DM. More on how the challenge works in Maik’s Linkedin post.

What You'll Do

  • Create and drive the strategy and execution of all Taktile new media content in various formats (text, video, audio, events, speeches, panels, etc.) across channels (newsletter, podcast, YouTube, social media, blog, conferences, etc.) in line with Taktile’s target audience (financial services leaders and future Taktile hires)
  • Spot relevant cultural moments and jump on them before anyone else
  • Turn complex ideas (AI, fintech, risk) into creative and exciting content people actually want to read and share
  • Work with and push the CEO to share his own personal perspectives and experiences in his own voice as part of the broader media play
  • Write, film, post, experiment, and track what works, then double down
  • Utilize the latest AI tools where appropriate to create the most cutting-edge content (but never AI slop content)

Who You Are

  • Extremely online. You understand platforms, culture, memes, and movements
  • A sharp storyteller who can make the complex simple and the simple unforgettable
  • Obsessed with long-term impact and reach, not short-term vanity metrics
  • You have creativity, hustle, boldness, and virality instincts in the media realm
  • You’ve gone viral – for yourself or others on any social platform
  • Strong understanding and affinity for media tools from AI creation to editing
  • Nice to have: You have significant personal followership on any social media platform (please declare alongside your application)

Why Join

  • Compensation (NYC): $180K–320K + equity
  • Full-time or part-time advisory role possible
  • Direct access to the CEO, top investors, and global financial services and technology leaders
  • Freedom to take risks, break conventions, and build something never done before
  • A platform (and budget) to create cultural moments in tech and financial services at scale
