Our Ability Jobs

Kensho is S&P Global’s hub for AI innovation and transformation. With expertise in Machine Learning and data discovery, we develop and deploy novel solutions for S&P Global and its customers worldwide. Our solutions help businesses harness the power of data and Artificial Intelligence to innovate and drive progress. Kensho's solutions and research focus on speech recognition, entity linking, document extraction, automated database linking, text classification, natural language processing, and more.

Our Marketing and Communications team is creative and collaborative, focusing on high-quality storytelling and content development. As a Senior Communications Manager, you will play a key role in executing our communications strategy, both internally and externally. This role requires exceptional writing skills, as well as the ability to quickly learn about complex tech topics and communicate in ways people can understand. We’re looking for a well-rounded communications leader who can confidently jump into a range of tasks, such as developing executive talking points, drafting product messaging, copy editing a blog post, drafting a customer case study, or writing a LinkedIn post. In addition to demonstrating leadership at Kensho, this role offers the opportunity to work on high-impact content for S&P Global’s Chief AI Officer and the wider S&P Global enterprise.

At Kensho, we hire talented people and give them the freedom, support, and resources needed to accomplish our shared goals. We believe in flexibility-first and give our employees the opportunity to work from where they feel most productive and engaged (must be in the United States). We also value in-person collaboration, so there may be times when travel to one of our Kensho hubs (e.g., Cambridge, MA or NYC) will be required for team meetings or company events.
