Senior Communications Manager

Joby Aviation
New York, NY
Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We’ve designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onward toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service.

Overview

We are searching for a senior-level Communication Manager to play a pivotal role in introducing Joby to the world. As Senior Communications Manager, you will take day-to-day ownership of key areas of our external communications. You’ll provide strategic counsel while also rolling up your sleeves for hands-on execution, helping shape public perception and engagement as we move toward market launch.

This role will report to our Public Relations Lead and requires regular on-site presence at our Northern California facilities.

Responsibilities

  • Own media engagement and external messaging. Define strategy and deliver execution across key communications verticals.
  • Create compelling content. Write and edit blogs, white papers, and social media posts across a wide range of topics.
  • Act as a company spokesperson. Build strong relationships with local, trade, national, and international media.
  • Collaborate on narrative development. Work across teams to craft compelling stories that shape Joby’s public image.
  • Coach internal stakeholders. Empower the wider Joby team to confidently communicate externally.
  • Lead our speaker platform. Secure and prepare for industry events and thought leadership opportunities.
  • Drive thought leadership initiatives from authored content to events and community engagement.

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, Public Relations, or a related field.
  • 7–10 years of experience in external communications, with direct responsibility for public relations.
  • Experience supporting product launches or working within high-growth technology companies.
  • Strong writing, editing, and verbal communication skills.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-visibility environment.

Desired

  • Experience in crisis communication planning and response
  • A passion for storytelling around sustainability and innovation
  • Ability to define customer communications strategy
  • Experience supporting government affairs or policy advocacy efforts
