Join DayOne – Shaping the Future of Data Infrastructure
DayOne is a global leader in the development and operation of high-performance data centers. As one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, we've built a robust presence across Asia and Europe — and we're just getting started.
As we expand into new international markets, we're looking for talented, driven individuals to join us on this exciting journey. This is more than a job — it's an opportunity to be a key contributor to our dynamic team and help shape the future of global data infrastructure.
If you're passionate about innovation, technology, and growth, we invite you to be part of DayOne's next chapter.
About DayOne
DayOne builds and operates hyperscale data centers across eight markets in APAC and Europe. We raised US$4.5B in Series C funding and are expanding into new markets at pace. Singapore is our headquarters — the market where our regional strategy is shaped, our leadership is based, and where the communications decisions that travel across eight markets originate. DayOne holds one of only four permits under Singapore's Pilot DC-CFA and is pioneering Solid Oxide Fuel Cell technology at Jurong East as a proof of concept for hydrogen-based power generation. As the company's public profile grows faster than its communications infrastructure, this role builds that infrastructure.
About The Role
You'll own DayOne's corporate narrative across Asia and Europe — writing the CEO's public-facing content, leading crisis response, managing the regional media strategy, and building the playbooks, relationships, and messaging architecture that a company at this growth stage needs but doesn't fully have yet. You'll work directly with the CEO office, General Managers, and country teams. The mandate is real, the access is direct, and the decisions you make will still be visible five years from now.
Strategic Communications
- Develop and lead regional corporate communications strategies that strengthen DayOne's reputation across Asia and Europe.
- Define messaging frameworks for new market entries, groundbreakings, strategic agreements, ESG initiatives, and major corporate milestones — DayOne has all of these in active motion.
- Integrate policy and regulatory intelligence into public-facing communications so DayOne's narrative stays ahead of the external environment, not behind it.
- Collaborate with GMs, technical teams, and the CEO office to ensure message consistency across all markets and functions.
Media Relations and PR
- Build and manage relationships with tier-1 business, technology, and trade media across DayOne's eight operating markets.
- Own all press releases, media statements, responses, and proactive pitching — with the editorial judgment to know when to lead and when to hold.
- Coordinate background briefings, media roundtables, and leadership interviews for senior executives.
- Manage external PR agencies and enforce alignment to DayOne's global positioning and brand voice.
Crisis and Issues Management
- Build crisis playbooks, issue-specific messaging, and escalation processes before they are needed — not in response to an incident already in motion.
- Lead rapid response to sensitive media inquiries, guiding leadership on risk mitigation and narrative control in situations where the instinct to over-communicate is as dangerous as silence.
- Maintain strategic clarity under pressure when stakeholders want to react and the right call is to hold.
Executive and Narrative Content
- Write CEO talking points, speeches, op-eds, commentary, and long-form corporate messaging to a standard that reflects the seniority of the platform.
- Ensure DayOne's public narrative evolves with the business as a planned, managed program — not a reactive exercise triggered by external events.
Media Intelligence
- Lead multi-market media monitoring to identify reputational risks and emerging opportunities before they require a response.
- Produce insight-driven updates for senior leadership on media sentiment, narrative trends, and relevant industry, policy, and geopolitical developments across DayOne's markets.
Requirements
Technical Skills
- 8 to 12 years in corporate communications, PR, or strategic communications in data centers, cloud or hyperscale technology, telecommunications, energy, infrastructure, or another regulated or technically complex industry.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multi-market media relations and handle international journalists across business, technology, and trade press simultaneously.
- Proven track record in crisis and high-stakes issues communications — with real consequences attached, not theoretical scenarios.
- Exceptional writing across formats — the quality standard between a 200-word media statement and a 2,000-word CEO op-ed does not vary.
- Direct experience working with senior executives in the room, not briefing up through layers.
- Exposure to policy-related communications or public affairs in a multi-jurisdictional environment.
Soft Skills
- Exercises editorial judgment independently — reaches a position, holds it, and knows when the communications strategy requires pushing back on leadership.
- Translates complex technical and regulatory topics into clear, accurate public language without losing the substance.
- Operates with composure when the pressure to say something fast conflicts with the need to say something right.
Nice to Have
- Experience managing communications through a company growth inflection — funding rounds, market expansions, or public profile step-changes.
- Established media relationships across key APAC business and technology press.
- Exposure to ESG communications or sustainability narrative development in an infrastructure or technology context.
Why DayOne
Singapore's communications talent market is competitive and the people who are good at this work have options. What DayOne offers that most of those options don't is the combination of a genuinely newsworthy company — technology firsts, active expansion, a US$4.5B mandate — direct access to the leadership making the decisions, and a communications function that is still being built rather than inherited. For someone who has spent their career executing inside a structure someone else created, this is a different kind of role. The timing is right and the scope is real.
DayOne is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
