PR & External Communications - Manage media relations: Partner with external PR agencies to coordinate high-impact launches, media outreach, press strategy, and embargo timelines. - Amplify ecosystem presence: Direct Dyna’s presence and strategy across key research events, academic conferences, and industry gatherings. 3. Content Strategy & Visual Storytelling - Drive the content drumbeat: Own the content strategy and platform cadence, ensuring a steady, intentional stream of updates aligned with company priorities. - Lead creative production: Direct the creation of high-impact deployment videos, research demos, and visual assets, leveraging strong visual instincts to showcase our physical robots. 4. Talent & Growth Marketing - Attract world-class talent: Partner with leadership to craft compelling recruiting narratives and culture storytelling that attracts top-tier robotics talent. - Support investor relations: Assist executive leadership with company positioning and narratives for investor-facing communications. WHO YOU ARE - Experienced Operator: 4 plus years of experience in marketing, communications, brand, or content roles at a high-growth technology company or startup. - Master Storyteller: Exceptional writing ability with strong instincts for narrative clarity, positioning, and communications strategy. - Technically Adept: Proven capability to translate deeply technical concepts into compelling, accurate messaging for both specialized and broad audiences. - Autonomous Leader: Possess a strong ownership mentality and the ability to balance high-level strategic thinking with hands-on execution in ambiguous environments. - Cross-Functional Driver: Experienced in managing complex, cross-functional launches and communications initiatives. BONUS POINTS FOR - Experience in robotics, AI, developer tools, deep tech, hardware, or technical infrastructure companies. - A proven track record of supporting highly technical or academic research-oriented launches. - Deep familiarity with the robotics, AI, or Physical AI ecosystems and how those technical communities engage with research. - Strong visual storytelling instincts across video, technical demos, and creative assets. - Experience working directly with founders, executive leadership teams, or managing external PR and creative agencies.
