About the role
Zoox is building autonomous mobility from the ground up — a purpose-built robotaxi designed for riders, not retrofitted from an existing car. As we scale from testing to public commercial service, few things matter more than earning and keeping the trust of the public, regulators, and the communities we operate in. This role sits at the center of that work.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years in communications or policy communications, with deep experience handling safety, regulatory, or reputation-sensitive issues
- A proven track record managing high-stakes, technical communications, ideally in a heavily regulated industry (AV, aviation, automotive, energy, healthcare)
- Experience running proactive policy communications campaigns that successfully shaped narratives or regulatory outcomes
- Experience in issues management and developing reactive communications under pressure and tight timelines
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex technical topics accurately for broad audiences
- Strong executive management skills and a proven ability to work collaboratively cross-functionally
