You'll be working on the challenges that sit at the heart of modern business. No matter your role, the work you do will help organizations move faster, see more clearly, and tackle questions that used to feel impossible.

If you're ready to meet the moment with innovation, curiosity, and excellence, there's a place for you here.

Role summary

Alteryx is seeking a creative and innovative CEO Executive Communications & PR leader to build and run the CEO’s visibility, reputation, and thought leadership engine. This role is singularly focused on elevating the CEO as a credible, consistent voice in the market—driving high-impact media (including TV), shaping narratives, and managing CEO social channels to accelerate brand awareness and establish Alteryx as a leader in data intelligence.

This person is equal parts strategist and operator: they will architect the CEO narrative, secure and execute top-tier media opportunities, and run a disciplined editorial cadence in tight partnership with Corporate Communications and the corporate PR team.

What you’ll own

CEO Narrative and Positioning

  • Develop the CEO’s proprietary narrative platform (core themes, POVs, proof points) aligned to Alteryx strategy, differentiation, and market opportunities.

  • Translate company strategy into CEO-ready messaging, including crisp “so what” articulation for business, tech, and data/AI audiences.

  • Create and maintain a CEO message house, briefing library, and standing Q&A.

Broadcast (including TV)

  • Lead CEO media strategy and execution: target outlet strategy, story angles, pitch calendar, and proactive/reactive plans.

  • Secure and manage high-impact interviews, including TV appearances when strategically relevant.

  • Build and maintain relationships with key reporters, editors, producers, and influential voices in business, tech, and the data/AI ecosystem.

  • Oversee preparation for all CEO media moments: talking points, interview briefs, mock Q&As, and on-the-spot support.

CEO Social and Executive Content Engine

  • Own CEO social channels (e.g., LinkedIn and other priority platforms) end-to-end:

    • Develop CEO voice, cadence, and guardrails

    • Draft and publish content; manage approvals

    • Convert CEO moments into high-performing posts, clips, and commentary

    • Track performance and iterate with intention (not vanity metrics)

    • Build a repeatable system to turn interviews, keynotes, customer stories, and announcements into a steady stream of executive-grade content.

Editorial and Operating Rhythm

  • Partner in running weekly editorial meetings with the Corporate Communications leader and corporate PR team – exclusively focused on the CEO:

    • Editorial themes and narrative pull-through

    • Upcoming opportunities and news hooks

    • CEO visibility calendar and priorities

    • Risk review and rapid response readiness

  • Ensure tight coordination across PR, marketing, product, and (as needed) investor relations—so CEO visibility is aligned, timely, and credible.

Reputation and Issues Partnership

  • Partner with Corporate Comms/PR leadership on issue preparedness, crisis communications support, and CEO response protocols.

  • Establish and maintain governance for CEO statements: speed with discipline, clear escalation paths, and sound judgment.

Measurement and Impact

  • Define and report on CEO visibility success metrics (quality and impact, not just activity).

  • Tier-1 coverage quality and message pull-through

  • Share of voice vs. relevant peers

  • CEO social engagement quality and audience growth in priority segments

  • Speaking/visibility impact and content amplification performance

Qualifications

Required

  • 5–10+ years in executive communications, PR, media relations, or strategic communications with direct CEO/C-suite support experience.

  • Proven ability to secure top-tier earned media, including experience managing broadcast/TV opportunities.

  • Exceptional executive writing/editing skills—can draft quickly, clearly, and in an authentic CEO voice.

  • Strong editorial judgment and news instincts; ability to identify and create compelling story angles.

  • Strong cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management (Office of the CEO, Comms, PR, Marketing, Legal, IR).

Preferred

  • Experience in B2B technology; data/analytics/AI/enterprise software strongly preferred.

  • Existing relationships with priority reporters/producers (or a track record of building them quickly).

  • Experience building modern executive social strategy that drives credibility, trust, and talent impact.

  • Narrative clarity: can create a durable CEO platform that differentiates Alteryx

  • Media instincts: knows what is truly newsworthy and how to package it

  • Operating discipline: can run a tight editorial cadence and keep teams aligned

  • Executive presence: can advise the CEO with confidence and tact

  • Speed + judgment: can move fast without introducing risk
