The posting, as Happyrobot Inc. wrote it

ABOUT HAPPYROBOT

HappyRobot is the infrastructure for enterprises to build and orchestrate AI workforces. Our AI workers don't just communicate through voice and email - they make decisions, take action, and run operations autonomously across entire enterprise systems. Born in Y Combinator (S23) and backed by a16z, Base10, Prysm Capital and Eurazeo with over $200M raised, we power critical operations for global enterprises worldwide.

Our platform is battle-tested in the most demanding environments, where AI has real consequences. We started in logistics, built our own voice stack, models, and orchestration layer from the ground up, and are now bringing that infrastructure to every enterprise that runs the real economy.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a PR and communications-focused role based in San Francisco, reporting directly to the Head of Marketing. Comms is a small, newly formed function at HappyRobot, and we're looking for someone to help define how the world perceives us as we expand our footprint beyond logistics into every enterprise that runs the real economy, across our key markets in the US, Europe, and LATAM.

You'll work closely with Marketing, Growth, and founders to shape the narrative around HappyRobot — from breaking news and executive visibility to how we show up in the press, on stage, and across media channels. This role is built for someone with a solid track record who's ready to own PR and communications strategy independently, without needing to build the function from a blank page or manage a team on day one.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Shape perceptions of HappyRobot with strategies, stories, and announcements that advance how the world thinks about us
• Build and maintain relationships with journalists, editors, and analysts across tech, business, and logistics/enterprise trade media
• Package company news, product launches, and customer wins into pitches that secure meaningful media coverage
• Work closely with founders and subject-matter experts across the company to translate technical work into compelling narratives for specific audiences (e.g., building awareness with enterprise operations leaders)
• Manage company news and announcements across owned channels (blog, press, and email) and ensure consistent tone and brand voice
• Prioritize and manage inbound speaking, podcast, and award opportunities - Manage relationships with any external PR agencies or freelance support, and introduce systems that keep communications running smoothly as the company scales - Partner with Content and Growth to align PR moments with broader marketing campaigns

MUST-HAVE

• 5-8 years of experience in PR, communications, or journalism, ideally with in-house experience at a B2B tech or AI company
• A track record of securing meaningful, high-quality media coverage and existing relationships with relevant journalists and outlets

test actions. We’re running a high-speed marathon — not a sprint with no strategy.

Talent Density and Meritocracy
Hire only people who can raise the average; ‘exceptional performance is the passing grade.’ Ability trumps seniority. We believe the best teams are built on talent density — every hire should raise the bar. We reward contribution, not titles or tenure. We give ownership to those who earn it, and we all hold each other to a high standard. A-players want to work with other A-players — that’s how we win.

First-Principles Thinking
Strip a problem to physics-level facts, ignore industry dogma, rebuild the solution from scratch. We don’t copy-paste solutions. We go back to basics, ask why things are the way they are, and rebuild from the ground up if needed. This mindset pushes us to innovate, challenge stale assumptions, and move faster than incumbents. It’s how we build what others think is impossible.
