Head of Public Relations & Analyst Relations

Why Socure?

Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.

We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.

Socure is seeking a strategic, highly collaborative Director of Public Relations & Analyst Relations to drive day-to-day execution and momentum across our integrated communications function.

This role reports directly to the Head of Communications & Brand Innovation. The Head of Comms sets the overarching vision, narrative direction, and strategic priorities for the brand. The Director serves as a senior strategic partner responsible for operationalizing that vision — translating strategy into high-impact programs, ensuring consistent execution, and advancing our objectives with creativity, rigor, and measurable results.

This is not an order-taker role. It is a senior leadership position for someone who brings expertise, perspective, and proactive ideas to the table — while ensuring disciplined execution and daily forward motion across PR, AR, influencer engagement, and campaign-based communications.

You will lead corporate PR, analyst relations (including Gartner Magic Quadrant strategy), influencer ecosystem development, and media strategy — while partnering closely with Content, Social, Product Marketing, and GTM to execute integrated, campaign-style communications programs that amplify Socure’s market leadership.
