Head of Communications (m/f/d)

Project A is one of Europe’s leading early‑stage VCs, with a portfolio that includes companies like Trade Republic, Stark, and Quantum Systems, and an early, credible position in emerging categories like defense tech.

We’ve helped scale some of the continent’s most consequential startups, and now we’re hiring a Head of Communications (m/f/d) to own how we and our portfolio companies show up in the world.

This is a rare opportunity: a standalone senior role where you’ll run the entire function, with real autonomy to shape how Project A is known across European tech and venture.

The role focuses heavily on content creation strategy and building out our thought leadership presence – shaping what we say and ensuring it lands with the audiences that matter.

You’ll report directly to a Partner, with real autonomy to shape the brand of one of Europe’s most recognised VCs, and you’ll have the option to bring in external agencies wherever that adds firepower.

We’re an ambitious, genuinely collaborative team, and you’ll have the access and backing to make the calls that matter.

In this role, you’ll own: PR & positioning: drive our PR strategy, whether in‑house or through the right agency partner, and decide what "great PR" looks like for Project A.

Build relationships with the journalists and outlets that count, manage press cycles, and make Project A's point of view that people quote.

Brand: bring creative ideas for how Project A actually shows up on Linked In, at conferences, and in the rooms and channels that matter.

Content: own content end to end, from the idea to the finished Linked In post or press line, partnering with our leadership team and offering both strategic direction and hands‑on writing support.

Portfolio advisory: support portfolio companies on comms, especially around funding announcements, helping founders get their narrative and press strategy right.

Network building: build and maintain a network of agencies, journalists, and partners the wider portfolio can draw on, so good comms infrastructure isn’t something every company rebuilds from scratch.

Events: plan and run our event presence, from owned events to conference appearances, handling both logistics and the strategic call on which rooms to be in.

AI operations: use AI tools fluently to build a robust AI operating system to extend your own output across research, drafting, production, and monitoring.

What you’ll need: Several years of experience in comms/PR, ideally in VC, startups, or tech Existing relationships with journalists and media covering European tech and venture, or the ability to build them fast Fluent, hands‑on use of AI tools as part of your daily workflow Excellent written English; German is a plus Preferred location: Berlin.

We’re open to London‑based candidates who can travel to Berlin regularly for partner and press access.

How you’ll need to operate: High agency: you set your own direction and build what’s needed to get there A strong, confident point of view on what good brand and content looks like, especially on Linked In Confident enough to challenge partners’ thinking, not just execute it Energized by hands‑on writing At Project A, you’ll have the chance to work with: Category‑defining portfolio companies including Trade Republic and Quantum Systems A humble, yet hungry team to build a sharper brand, not just talk about it Real autonomy from day one: you decide what’s worth saying and how, backed by partners who move once you make the case.

If you’re eager to join Project A and shape what’s next, we want to hear from you!
