Be sure to explore our Interviewing Guide to learn how to ace our interview process.
About the Role
Twitch is seeking a strategic communications leader to head our global function. In this role, you'll define how Twitch shows up from traditional media and podcasts, to community forums, and the countless places where internet culture is made and conversation happens in real time.
You'll set the strategy for how Twitch is represented across regions, shaping narratives, managing complex issues, and amplifying the voices of our creators and communities. This means understanding not just what stories to tell, but where and how to tell them in an increasingly fractured media landscape—knowing when to engage, when to let conversations unfold, and how to build influence across platforms where traditional playbooks don't always apply.
Reporting to the CMO and working closely with senior leadership, you'll protect and grow Twitch's reputation, build trust with key stakeholders, and align communications with broader business priorities. You'll be an informed, authoritative voice in the room.
Leading a high-performing global team and network of agency partners, you'll oversee media relations, distribution strategy, issues management, and unearth compelling storylines that resonate across diverse audiences—from creators and press to advertisers, regulators, and employees. You'll collaborate with regional leaders to localize messaging and ensure global narratives land with relevance and impact.
You can work from Twitch's headquarters in San Francisco, CA; or from one of our US based hub locations in Seattle, WA; Irvine, CA; Los Angeles, CA or New York City, NY.

- Direct and implement global communications strategies that promote Twitch, our service and offerings, and the community

- 10+ years of professional non-internship marketing experience
- 10+ years of experience in public relations or communications, including leadership roles at global companies or agencies
- Executive presence and the ability to influence at the highest levels
- An expansive understanding of communications that goes far beyond press releases—you're fluent in how influence works across social platforms, forums, and emerging channels
- Deep knowledge of global media and internet culture; you're dialed in to what's trending and what's driving conversation
- A keen observer of the creator economy with your finger on the pulse of what's happening now
- Sharp editorial judgment and fluency in navigating complex, fast-moving issues
- Strong relationships with media and an understanding of what moves the needle
- Proven ability to lead and develop high-performing teams with empathy and clarity
- Genuine enthusiasm for Twitch’s mission, our creators, and the communities we serve
