We are on a mission to liberate humanity from all the meaningless time spent managing their purchases and finances, so they can do more of what they love.

This role is crucial for securing strategic coverage in a breadth of important top tier media outlets, shaping our narrative to captivate our target audience, and tactically steering conversations and sentiment to close perceptions gaps about Klarna.

  • Work closely with global internal stakeholders such as product teams, legal, finance etc to find stories to tell and ensure the US audience knows everything that’s going on at Klarna, and vice versa.
  • Work closely with adjacent teams across the business, giving advice on reputational impact if any issues arise and if necessary pushing through changes to they way we operate and work.
  • Ensure the team has correct processes and routines in place to succeed so there is a standardized way of working and high standard of output
  • .… other things YOU think we should be doing! We look forward to hearing your initiatives and suggestions.

Who you are...

  •  A nose for a good story, you can take anything and make headlines and you love to do it. 
  • A driven self-starter, thriving in dynamic, fast-changing settings.
