Head of Communications

What the role actually is

Nuro is hiring a Head of Communications to shape the company's external voice across media, customers, partners, policymakers, and autonomy audiences. The work centers on technical storytelling, major announcements, executive communications, issues response, and clear narratives around self-driving technology.

This is a senior communications role for a company trying to make autonomous driving legible beyond the robotics and AI bubble. The person would need to translate safety, commercialization, and technical platform work into messages that can hold up in public.

What you would work on

• Build Nuro's external communications strategy across media, partners, policy, and industry audiences
• Turn autonomy, AI, safety, and commercialization work into accurate public narratives
• Lead major announcements, technical storytelling, executive prep, and rapid-response communications
• Partner with brand, marketing, product, legal, policy, and leadership on public-facing moments

What they are asking for

• Communications leadership experience in a technical, mobility, AI, robotics, or high-scrutiny category
• Strong writing and editorial judgment for technical and executive audiences
• Ability to advise leaders and align teams around disciplined messaging
• Comfort explaining complex autonomy concepts without overstating the technology

Why this one is worth a look

Autonomy companies live or die partly on trust. Nuro's shift toward a universal autonomy platform makes communications more than brand polish: the role has to explain what the system can do, where it fits, and why partners and the public should believe it.
