Tasks

We are looking for a Head of Brand and Communications to join Planet A and help us push the boundaries of what a brand can mean in venture capital. This role is ideal for someone who can think fast, act creatively, and take ownership of projects from idea to execution.

You will lead our communications efforts end-to-end, shaping how we tell our story and engage audiences across media, events, and digital platforms, always striving to think bigger. Working closely with the Partners, you’ll craft a narrative that reflects who we are: a fund that backs founders who move the needle. This role blends strategy and execution: you’ll set direction, manage external agencies, and build systems, while also creating content, reviewing press materials, and managing social channels.

If you love the idea of building a brand that people feel – one that’s creative and authentic – you’ll fit right in!

Key Responsibilities:

• Full ownership of Planet A’s narrative and communication strategy across all channels, leading how we tell our story and ensuring our voice remains bold, consistent, and true to who we are.
• Collaborate closely with the management team on event communications, thought leadership, and brand strategy for clear alignment with fund goals, while engaging internal stakeholders to ensure consistent messaging and buy-in across teams.
• Manage and coordinate our external PR and event agencies to ensure high-quality output.
• Create and refine key materials, from newsletters to press releases, opinion pieces, and brand storytelling.
• Leverage social media and digital channels to grow reach and engagement, exploring new creative ways to tell stories.
• Support our portfolio companies with communication for funding announcements.
• Build and nurture a strong network across the VC community to open doors for new opportunities and collaboration.
• Keep us ahead of the curve, always looking for new ways to make Planet A’s voice stand out in the VC space.

Requirements

You will thrive in this role if:

• You have 4+ years of relevant experience in the venture capital or startups ecosystem.
• You are a strategic, experienced communicator who can define the big picture but also jump into the details when needed.
• You have a strong sense for brand and design, and know how to turn complex ideas into bold assets that grab our audience's attention.
• You bring hands‑on experience managing content across multiple formats and channels.
• You are tech‑savvy and excited by how communication can evolve with new tools, formats, and platforms.
• You are a natural relationship builder who enjoys working with different personalities, from early‑stage founders to LPs to journalists.
• You love being part of a brand that is redefining what VC looks and feels like.
• You have excellent written and spoken English skills.

This role is remote, with a preference for candidates based in Berlin.

Why you should join Planet A:

• You can be an elementary part of a top tier venture capital firm – the first in Europe with a scientific approach to impact.
• You can join a dynamic environment that is driven by impact and highly motivated to make a change for the better.
• While we’d love for you to be based in Berlin as we have our beautiful office in Berlin Mitte, remote work within Europe is absolutely possible.
• You have access to an annual personal development as well as travel and conference budget.
• You can enjoy benefits like Urban Sports club membership or the Deutschlandticket.
• You can take part in our monthly co‑working days – collaborate side by side with the entire Planet A team and strengthen connections over team lunches, dinners, or fun team activities.
• You have the opportunity to participate in bi‑annual off‑site gatherings with the entire Planet A team.
