Why this role?

Cohere has a strong AI narrative, the most deployable product, and a CEO who co-authored the foundational paper of modern AI.

In this cross‑functional, individual‑contributor role, you’ll partner deeply with product, research, engineering, and go‑to‑market teams to translate complex technical work into clear, compelling stories. You’ll help Cohere articulate what we’re building, why it matters, and how our technology is reshaping enterprise AI.
