About the role
US-based, remote | Full-time
The problem
The defense industrial base is at a historic inflection point. Manufacturing capacity is at the center of conversation.
Demand is surging across munitions, drones and space, and programs still lose years waiting for parts. The machines are already in the country - what's missing is coordination.
The layer that finds capacity, qualifies it, removes red tape, and moves work across it without the paperwork and handoffs that stall programs today. That layer was never built because it took armies of people to run, and with AI it's buildable now. Whoever builds it becomes the way the US ramps production.
Jiga is building that layer. We route demand using AI to the right US manufacturers, operate as supplier of record with full traceability, and turn into a production arm for custom mechanical parts. We work with the hottest defense startups and traditional Primes. VC-backed, growing 4x year over year.
We are in a unique position, exposed to how the manufacturing landscape really works with a strong story worth telling and almost no one telling it.
The role
You'll own how Jiga shows up in aerospace and defense. Positioning, messaging, content, media relations, events, podcasts, speaking slots, news placements. You write, pitch and place.
In this market, comms carries more than brand. It drives top of funnel, credibility, market education, hiring, fundraising, and searchability.
What you'll do
- Direct our positioning and messaging for the aerospace and defense audience, and keep it sharp and consistent everywhere we show up.
- Create content yourself: articles, op-eds, industry insights, case studies, LinkedIn.
- Build and work relationships with the journalists, editors, and podcast hosts who cover defense tech, aerospace, and manufacturing. Pitch actively around program news, policy moves, and our own milestones.
