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.
Humanoid is looking for an experienced PR Manager, based in London, to lead our public relations and earned-media 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 and industry contacts (particularly in the US), who can turn Humanoid's story into consistent, high-quality coverage in the media.

- 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.

- More than 5 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.
