Senior Manager, Corporate Communications (UK) in Oxford

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world’s most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables “quantum everywhere” through our ecosystem of devices and platforms. Our mission is to commercialise atom-based quantum products that provide orders of magnitude improvements in performance and computing applications.

Location: Infleqtion has offices in the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. This is a full‑time position split between our Kidlington, Oxford office and the National Quantum Computing Centre, Harwell. Work from home permitted up to 2 days per week based on business needs and manager approval.

About the role: We are hiring a UK‑based Senior Manager, Corporate Communications to strengthen our visibility and reputation in the UK market. This is a hands‑on role focused on messaging and narrative, UK media engagement (in partnership with our PR agency), and high‑quality events that build relationships across customers, partners, and the UK quantum ecosystem. You will collaborate closely with global stakeholders to ensure the UK story is aligned with company‑wide priorities.

What you’ll do:

• Messaging and narrative (core): Own UK-specific messaging: localise the corporate narrative for UK audiences while keeping global message discipline. Develop and maintain UK comms assets (factsheets, FAQs, briefing materials, stakeholder talking points) that translate complex topics into clear, credible stories. Identify proof points and story angles that resonate in the UK market (capability, ecosystem impact, applications, partnerships).
• Media and external visibility (agency‑led, you enable and support): Partner with our PR agency to execute UK media strategy—providing angles, proof points, spokespeople access, and fast‑turn materials that make pitching successful. Support agency pitching primarily through strong enablement, while doing select direct pitching for priority opportunities and relationships. Manage UK inbound media activity: coordinate interviews, prepare spokespeople, and support rapid response when news breaks. Write and edit press releases, statements, Q&A, briefing docs, and social copy; review agency drafts to ensure quality and message pull‑through.
• Events and ecosystem engagement: Plan and deliver UK events end‑to‑end—roundtables, partner briefings, conference activations, milestone moments, and site visits. Own run‑of‑show, speaker prep, vendor coordination, budgets, and on‑the‑day execution. Build relationships across UK ecosystem stakeholders (partners, research centres, industry groups) and turn events into reusable comms assets.
• Global collaboration and alignment: Work closely with global marketing and communications partners to align UK activities with global narratives, launches, and executive visibility priorities. Provide UK inputs (local context, stakeholder feedback, media learnings) that strengthen the overall communications strategy.

What we’re looking for:

• 7+ years in corporate communications, PR, or marketing communications, with strong UK market experience.
• Demonstrated messaging and narrative strength—able to simplify complex topics without losing accuracy.
• Experience working with media and PR agencies, including interview preparation, briefing development, and press material production.
• Event experience required: proven ability to plan and execute external events with high standards and tight timelines.
• Excellent writing and editing skills; comfortable operating hands‑on in a lean environment.
• Strong judgment, stakeholder management, and comfort working with senior executives and technical leaders.

Nice to have:

• Experience in quantum, deep tech, or scientific/engineering‑led organisations.
• Familiarity with the UK quantum ecosystem and key institutions.

In addition to your base compensation, we offer a generous Total Rewards program which includes:

• Competitive salary
• Unlimited PTO
• Generous company 10% pension contribution regardless of employee contribution
• Cycle to work and Technology schemes
• Incentive Stock Option Plan
• BUPA Private Healthcare Insurance once probationary period is successfully completed

Travel: Up to 10% travel may be required.
