About the role

At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $400M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.

We're looking for a Marketing Communications Manager / Director to lead our external and internal communications efforts as we scale. This role will shape how the world understands what we're building.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and implement targeted social media strategies to increase engagement, enhance brand awareness, and maximize company messaging across LinkedIn, X, and YouTube

  • Craft compelling written and visual content for social media, press releases, product launches, and other company communications — tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences

  • Serve as the main point of contact for external PR and branding agencies while managing select communications functions independently

  • Leverage your understanding of generative AI, computer vision, and robotics to accurately and compellingly communicate the company's technical advancements

  • Plan, manage, and execute external marketing events including tradeshows and conferences; coordinate internal employee events to foster team engagement

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with technical experts, product managers, and executives to ensure messaging accuracy and strategic alignment

  • Track industry trends and competitor activity to continuously sharpen and evolve our communications strategy

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in marketing communications within the technology sector

  • Proven ability to strategize and execute social media campaigns, especially on LinkedIn, X, and YouTube

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to distill complex technical information into clear, compelling messages for varied audiences

  • Experience working with external agencies and vendors and managing those relationships effectively

  • Exceptional collaborator with the ability to work closely with highly technical teams

  • Self-motivated with strong ownership, highly organized, and creative under ambiguity

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

  • Background or genuine interest in generative AI, computer vision, or robotics

  • Experience in a startup or high-growth tech environment

  • Proven track record executing successful events including tradeshows and product launches

  • Familiarity with the humanoid robotics or embodied AI landscape

Why This Role

  • Own the voice of one of the most technically ambitious robotics companies in the world — at a moment when the story is just beginning to be told

  • Work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and hardware, translating frontier research into narratives that resonate with researchers, engineers, investors, and the public

  • High ownership, direct collaboration with leadership, and real influence over how Rhoda shows up in the world
