Thatch is transforming healthcare benefits by enabling companies to offer employees personalized health budgets while maintaining predictable employer costs. As Head of Communications, you will own the company's communications strategy across earned media, thought leadership, and organic social channels.
You will be responsible for building and executing Thatch's communications strategy, including pitching to top reporters, landing meaningful coverage, and developing distinct executive voices across press, podcasts, and social media. You'll translate company news, industry trends, and cultural moments into compelling narratives that resonate with both B2B and consumer audiences. Your work will span creating original stories and reports from company data and expertise, growing Thatch's presence beyond the B2B benefits space, and making healthcare more accessible and understandable to consumers.
This is a hands-on role where you'll both set strategy and execute the work—writing pitches, managing reporter relationships, and identifying moments where Thatch should be part of the broader healthcare conversation. You'll work across functions to solve complex problems and have ownership over how the company's story is told.
Thatch is a fully distributed, early-stage company with a high-velocity, collaborative culture focused on using technology to reshape American healthcare.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 10+ years in communications, ideally in healthcare, benefits, or HR tech
- Track record of landing meaningful earned media and building relationships with top reporters
- Exceptional writing and editorial judgment, particularly with complex topics
- Deep industry fluency to identify newsworthy moments and Thatch's role in the conversation
- Hands-on operating style; comfortable both writing pitches and setting strategy
EXPERIENCE THAT STANDS OUT:
- Built a communications function or company narrative from scratch
- Turned data or industry trends into stories that earned significant attention
- Built a recognizable voice for a company
