Lead the development and execution of Joby's external communications strategy across corporate, product, and executive channels. Manage global media relations and coach senior executives to build brand credibility and trust for a new mode of transportation.
Requires over 12 years of communications experience in the technology sector, specifically within publicly traded companies and highly regulated industries. Must possess a bachelor's degree and a proven track record of launching high-profile products and managing complex crisis communications.
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. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.
We're seeking an experienced and strategic Head of Public Relations to shape Joby's external narrative as we prepare to launch a new mode of transportation.

You're equally comfortable developing long-term communications strategy and rolling up your sleeves to execute. You have excellent news judgment, understand how media has evolved, and know how to create stories that resonate across traditional, digital and emerging platforms.
You enjoy learning complex technical subjects and translating them into clear, engaging narratives for audiences ranging from investors and policymakers to customers and consumers. You've likely worked across corporate, consumer, financial and public affairs communications, and are confident advising founders and senior executives through both major announcements and challenging moments.
You're calm under pressure, exercise sound judgment, and know when to lead from the front and when to work quietly behind the scenes.
Lead day-to-day media relations across business, technology, aviation and consumer media while building strong relationships with journalists around the world
