This description is a wishlist, not a checklist. We want to find a super-amazing person to join our team, and we're well aware that “super-amazing" can come in all different forms. If you're a little less experienced on a specific bullet point, or if you didn't go to a fancy school, apply anyway. We look at candidates, not resumes.

About the Role

Nebula is looking for an expert communications director to join our team. Your primary responsibility will be to oversee external communications involving Nebula, with a focus on publicity and public relations. You will be responsible for developing and implementing a broad strategy for internal and external communications across a diverse range of business needs.

Our ideal candidate is someone who has a strong understanding of media communication and messaging. You should have excellent written communication skills and be able to work efficiently to meet tight placement deadlines. We're looking for someone who is passionate about the creator economy, media and entertainment, and supporting independent creators. Finally, our ideal candidate will also be well-versed in inside communications, ensuring our staff fully understands our mission, values, and goals.

What We're Looking For

  • 3-5 years in communications, PR, or publicity for a media company, film studio, or prolific (award-winning) production company.
  • Experience working with digital creators, preferably on ‘per-project‘ campaigns like film or series.
  • Creative and thoughtful view on how new media technologies can be utilized.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to tailor your style to different audiences.
  • Excellent personal network of media outlets and journalists.
  • Familiarity with streaming video, entertainment, and technology.

  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work with various levels of leadership within different departments.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
  • Excellent judgment and creative problem solving skills, including negotiation and conflict resolution skills.

  • Establish and drive a multi-channel external communications strategy across the organization.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with key creators and media outlets.
  • Track engagement across various platforms and make data-driven decisions.
  • Identify challenges and emerging issues faced by the organization. Work with the leadership team and staff to recognize internal communications opportunities and solutions.
  • Develop communication strategies for internal delivery of messaging around company culture, business strategy, and other previously identified opportunities.
  • Assist in the creation of digital, video, audio and print content.
  • Work with finance to create budget for communications team, if and when the department is ready for growth.

Perks

  • Competitive salary starting at $100,000 USD, depending on experience. We do not use formal job titles internally and similarly named positions may have different compensation levels. Actual starting salary will depend on various considerations, including: work experience, skills, specializations, and location.
  • Flexible work hours and vacation policy
  • Fully work-from-home
  • Diverse, socially-minded team of nice people
  • Medical, dental, and vision plans (for US-based employees)
  • 401(k) and other benefits (for US-based employees)

About Us

Nebula is both the largest and fastest growing creator-built premium streaming service. We believe that the future of the creator economy should belong to the creators, and our responsibility is to empower and enable those creators. In 2024, we were listed as one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies”.

We're a distributed company. We have offices in NYC and Denver, but more than 80% of the team is remote, in exotic locations like the UK, the Netherlands, France, and Ohio.

There are things to do and meetings to be had, but we pride ourselves on our flexibility. We think this makes Nebula a great place to work for people with families, or whose productive hours tend to be outside of the 9-5. We care about what you do more than when you do it.

How We Hire

We think that diversity is important. Many of us have non-traditional backgrounds. We’re looking for people who are curious and passionate. Our team should be made up of people of all sorts of colors, genders, and backgrounds, who can help to expand our perspective and improve our ability to treat our creators and our audience with thoughtfulness and empathy.

If that sounds like you, we’re happy to care less how many years of experience you have or where you went to school. Apply anyway. And if you have any feedback on how we could reach or appeal to a more diverse pool of talent, get in touch.

Tip: “tv” is part of our domain, not our name.

What We Do

Our mission is to empower independent creators.

Launched in 2019, Nebula is both the largest and fastest growing creator-built premium streaming service. The success of the indie platform has been built upon the pioneering premise that the future of the creator economy should belong to the creators, and that philosophy has led to the release of many hit exclusives and originals, including the extremely popular travel game show Jet Lag: The Game, the Shakespearian trans-coming-out story of The Prince, and the debut film from Patrick Willems Night of the Coconut. Nebula has successfully charted its own path in the streaming space since its inception — earning a reputation for being where creators go to develop premium content that wouldn’t be possible elsewhere. The video and podcast streaming service focuses on both intellectually nutritious content and prestige fiction with a refreshing and trailblazing approach. Nebula has successfully broken the mold with 180+ creators who are not only instrumental in rounding out the platform's library, but also in building the roadmap for the company's daily operations and carefully curating its creator community. This past year alone, Nebula has more than tripled its direct subscriber base, and is second only to Netflix in customer retention. In 2024, the company was listed as one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies.”
