Marketing & Communications Lead (AI & Robotics)

San Mateo

Job Description

Company Overview

At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing. We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within society. Our team consists of individuals with varying levels of experience and backgrounds, from new graduates to domain experts. Relevant industry experience is important, but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and attitude. We are looking for passionate individuals who are eager to explore uncharted waters and contribute to our innovative projects.

Position Overview

We’re looking for a dynamic Marketing & Communications Lead to shape and elevate Skild AI’s brand presence across digital, social, and media channels. This role is ideal for a strategic storyteller who’s passionate about translating cutting-edge technology—particularly robotics and AI—into compelling narratives that inspire and engage. You’ll lead initiatives that define our voice, amplify our impact, and drive awareness across multiple audiences, from partners to the broader AI community, helping shape how the world perceives our brand.

Responsibilities

Identify, recruit, and collaborate with top-tier creative talent (designers, filmmakers, photographers, and storytellers) to craft a bold, bar-raising brand presence.
Define and execute our marketing and communications strategy to build brand awareness and community engagement.
Manage and coordinate external creative vendors, agencies, and freelancers to deliver innovative, high-quality content and campaigns.
Develop compelling social media content, press materials, and thought-leadership stories that position us as a category leader.
Work closely with leadership to shape messaging for product launches, announcements, and milestone events.
Monitor industry trends, identify relevant moments, and jump on opportunities to insert our voice into the conversation.
Manage media relationships and help secure high-impact coverage to build Skild mindshare.

Preferred Qualifications

4+ years of experience in marketing, PR, or communications (tech or startup experience a plus).
Strong understanding of social media platforms, content trends, and audience engagement strategies (Inbound & Outbound).
Proven ability to enlist, manage multiple top-tier creative vendors and deliver results under tight timelines.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where you help set the playbook.
Bonus: Experience in AI, robotics, or emerging technology sectors.
