The same launch recaps, the same borrowed talking points, the same claims no one checked. This role exists so phData doesn't. You turn what our R&D experts and executives know into original, fact-checked journalism that reporters quote, analysts cite, and buyers trust. You are one person working with roughly 10 subject-matter experts and executives, and you don't have a team to hide behind. If you do this poorly, phData publishes content that is forgettable at best and wrong at worst, in a market where credibility is the whole game. About You Read this section like a mirror, not a checklist. Some of it is meant to make you nod. Some of it is meant to make you uncomfortable. Both reactions are useful, to you and to us. You've killed a story you loved because one source wouldn't confirm it. You didn't publish and hope. You've told a senior executive their idea wasn't original enough to run, and kept the relationship. Journalist first. You report, interview, verify, and edit like someone whose name is on the byline. You consider "good enough to publish" a failure of standards, not a deadline. Quiet ownership. Your best work goes out under an SME's or executive's name. You are fine with that, and you still defend its quality as if it were yours. Judgment over volume. You pick one flagship idea a quarter and say no to the rest. You don't measure yourself by how much you shipped. Translator. You can sit with an R&D lead who is explaining agent orchestration, ask the question that exposes the real insight, and then explain it to a reporter in two sentences. Relationship builder. You earn attention from reporters and analysts by being useful and accurate, not by pitching harder. If none of that landed, this probably isn't your role, and that's fine. If more than a couple did, keep reading. What You'll Own Original content Run the idea pipeline: collect ideas from R&D SMEs and executives, evaluate them for originality, and select one flagship idea each quarter with an executive sponsor. Report and write the flagship article, including interviews, source confirmation, and fact-checking. Deliver the full flagship package to marketing: article, source file, quote bank, data points, and fact-check log. Momentum content Maintain a list of trusted sources and identify relevant topics every week to produce digests and perspectives in an engaging voice. Monitor launches from key companies (for example, Anthropic, Snowflake, and AWS) and publish timely takes that connect to client value. Public relations Build and maintain targeted media lists. Pitch flagship articles as news stories and answer journalist inquiries with expert commentary. Facilitate bylined pieces under SME and executive names, provide media training, and manage press releases and spokesperson messaging. Assess the quality of earned media. Analyst relations Identify and build relationships with influential analyst firms and individuals. Give them flagship articles and data, and schedule briefings. Coordinate briefings, prep SMEs and executives, gather client references, and track phData's inclusion in analyst reports. Internal communications and advocacy Keep marke
