Communications and Media Relations Director

About ALSO.

We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient.

ALSO is looking for a Head of Communications & Media Relations to help shape how the world sees ALSO. This is a unique opportunity to define and scale the external voice of a brand poised to reimagine mobility — while also playing a critical role in investor communications, executive visibility, and media relationships. 

What You Will Do

• Own the end-to-end communications strategy — across product launches, corporate announcements, executive visibility, investor messaging, and issues management

• Serve as the primary contact for media and press, building strong relationships with key reporters, outlets, and influencers in tech, transportation, and sustainability

• Lead investor communications in partnership with the leadership team, including pitch materials, milestone messaging, quarterly updates, and capital raise communications

• Partner with product, brand, and design teams to craft compelling product stories that reflect our deep commitment to hardware and real-world innovation

• Develop content that supports brand storytelling across channels — earned, owned, executive comms, and experiential

• Provide strategic counsel to the executive team on communications strategy, reputation management, and high-stakes moments

• Build and manage a communications roadmap that balances near-term product moments with long-term brand equity

• Establish scalable systems for press outreach, analyst briefings, speaking opportunities, and awards

• Manage PR agency partnerships, analyst relationships, and external communications partners as needed

• Stay attuned to market sentiment, industry trends, and competitive narratives

What You Will Bring

• 10+ years of experience in communications, media relations, or corporate affairs, ideally in high-growth consumer or hardware-centric environments

• Strong track record of narrative development and executive-level communications, including media placements, launch strategies, and brand storytelling

• Demonstrated experience managing or contributing to investor relations or VC-facing communications

• Deep network of press contacts and ability to pitch and place stories directly

• Exceptional written, verbal, and visual communication skills

• Ability to thrive in an early-stage, fast-moving company with limited structure and evolving priorities

• A love for physical products, storytelling through design, and the opportunity to shape a cultural brand from the ground up

The salary for this position ranges from $211,000 - $241,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.

Why ALSO.

We’re passionate about helping the world find a better way to get there—wherever it is you’re headed.

We’re located in the heart of Silicon Valley and have brought together a world-class team from some of the biggest brands in the technology, automotive, cycling, outdoor recreation and retail spaces. 

Together we’re working hands-on to imagine, design and build an entirely new solution to a global set of transportation challenges.
