About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop and drive cohesive narratives that engage a wide range of audiences—from C-Suite executive buyers and investors to robot enthusiasts. You’ll take complex technical concepts and translate them into stories that are relatable, memorable, and inspire action.
Lead the strategy and execution for communications for major company milestones. This includes securing the microphone around investment activities, product launches, new capabilities, and major industry events. You’ll look for moments where Agility can weigh in, moving beyond traditional PR to create moments that cut through the noise.
Establish Agility—and our leadership team—as the definitive voices in humanoid robotics. You will identify and secure centerstage speaking opportunities, podcasts, and bylines that position us as the industry leaders in translating vision to real-world value.
You’ll lead our crisis communications strategy, providing counsel to leadership and maintaining a steady hand during high-stakes moments.
You own the flow of information to employees, working in close partnership with our People team. You’ll lead the way in communicating organizational changes or company milestones, focusing on what these changes mean for the individual employee and the future of the industry.
You will be a highly collaborative partner, working in lockstep with Brand Marketing to activate campaigns across earned channels.
Build and maintain deep, trust-based relationships with top-tier business, tech, and industrial reporters. You should know when to pitch a deep-dive feature and when to use levity to tap into cultural moments for humanoids.

Requirements

What you’ll need

12+ years in communications, with a proven track record of building and scaling programs that reach multiple audiences from the ground up—ideally in high-growth tech, AI, or hardware.
You write clearly and concisely, avoiding the "grandiose" trap of the robotics market. You can capture the precision of our hardware while making the "human" benefit of the technology feel personal.
You have a strong bias for action, backed by incisive strategic instincts. You thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy bringing clarity and direction when faced with ambiguity.
You have a genuine curiosity about how things work. You can sit with engineers, understand the nuance of a new feature, and explain its value to a Tier-1 business journalist without losing the technical integrity.
You earn trust fast through directness and competence. You are comfortable giving the C-suite constructive coaching and providing a clear path forward under pressure.
