Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life.

  • Lead change comms for key initiatives, helping employees navigate transitions with clarity and confidence.

Program Systems, Channels, and Tools

  • Define and own Plaid's internal communications operating model, covering the channels, cadences, content types, and editorial calendar that govern how information flows across the company.

  • Be a practitioner of AI: actively leverage AI tools in the craft of communications and help establish how AI augments internal comms work at Plaid.
  • Create repeatable playbooks and templates for recurring programs (All Hands, org changes, executive comms) that scale without adding headcount.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
