Job description

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About the Role

Humanoid is looking for an experienced PR Manager based in London to lead our public relations, influencer, and event strategy globally, with a focus on the UK, US, and Europe. This is a hands‑on role for someone with a strong existing network of media, industry, and influencer contacts, particularly in the US, who can turn Humanoid's story into consistent, high-quality coverage and get Humanoid in front of the right audiences at the right events.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain strong relationships with media outlets, journalists, editors, and influencers, with a particular focus on the US market.

• Secure interviews, features, product announcements, and bylined articles in relevant Tier-1 and Tier-2 media outlets.

• Oversee the creation of press releases, media kits, articles, social content, and thought leadership materials.

• Identify and secure speaking opportunities at conferences, forums, and industry events, and support company spokespeople in preparing for them.

• Prepare company spokespeople for public appearances, media interviews, and press engagements.

• Monitor and manage Humanoid's public image and reputation, and lead the response to any reactive or crisis communications.

• Support and help shape the company's social media presence, ensuring consistent and authentic messaging across platforms.

• Track performance metrics and refine PR strategy based on insights and coverage results.

What We’re Looking For

• More than 3 years of relevant experience in public relations, communications, or media relations (e.g. PR manager, press officer, communications lead, agency account lead, or similar).

• Extensive network of Tier-1 and Tier-2 media contacts, event organizers, and bloggers across the business, financial, tech, AI, and robotics sectors, with strong, active relationships in the USA (UK and Europe a plus; investor connections a plus).

• Excellent interpersonal and written communication skills.

• Ability to perform well under pressure and against tight deadlines.

What We Offer

• Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.

• 30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas-New Year shutdown).

• Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.

• Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.

• Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.

• Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world‑class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.

• Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
