Senior Communications Manager

Boatsetter and Getmyboat are the world's leading boat rental marketplaces, connecting millions of people with unforgettable experiences on the water. Whether it's a fishing charter, a sunset cruise, a birthday celebration, or a sailing adventure, we help people discover the joy of boating.

As a combined portfolio, we serve a wide range of customers: from adventure-seeking enthusiasts who make boating a lifestyle to first-timers celebrating life's special moments. We're building brands that blend storytelling, utility, and a deep love for the outdoors. We're looking for a Senior Communications Manager to help shape our business and consumer narrative with a modern press strategy.

As the Senior Communications Manager, you'll shape how the companies show up in the world.

This is a role for someone who thinks about creating culture and news, plus knows how to leverage reactive moments. You'll be a close partner to the CMO and Brand Marketing Director, helping raise the bar as we build the brand.
