About the role

We're looking for a Director of Communications to build and run Waabi's earned media and executive communications function. You'll be the person landing meaningful coverage of Waabi across logistics, technology, and business media — shaping how the market understands a company building AI for the physical world, not just another autonomous trucking company. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years in communications, PR, or media relations, with a track record of landing coverage in technology, business, or industrial/logistics trade press
  • Proven ability to translate deep technical or scientific work into a compelling, accurate story for both trade and mainstream business media
  • Experience managing an external communications or PR agency, including briefing, review, and performance accountability
  • Experience supporting executive communications — speeches, talking points, bylines, or media training
  • Excellent writer, capable of shaping thought leadership and blog content in partnership with product marketing
  • Strong message discipline — comfortable maintaining clearance guardrails on claims, terminology, and proof points as a company's public narrative matures
