Senior Director, Communications

On-SiteSalem, OR, US

On-Site • Salem, OR, US

Agility's commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.

About the Role

As the Senior Director of Communications, you will play a critical role in shaping Agility's standing in the market during a pivotal era for robotics. Your job is to move beyond the "hype" of humanoids and build a comprehensive program that proves our competitive edge through real-world results, groundbreaking innovation, and an expansive vision. You'll be a high-visibility partner to our executives, helping to amplify their voices internally and externally, and ensuring our culture of transparency stays intact.

You will bridge the gap between masterful engineering and mainstream understanding, ensuring that whether we are talking to a business leader, an investor, an employee, or a robot enthusiast, the story is consistent, grounded, and true to Agility. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker with a track record of building and leading comprehensive communications programs.

About You

12+ years in communications, with a proven track record of building and scaling programs that reach multiple audiences from the ground up—ideally in high-growth tech, AI, or hardware.
You write clearly and concisely, avoiding the "grandiose" trap of the robotics market. You can capture the precision of our hardware while making the "human" benefit of the technology feel personal.
You have a strong bias for action, backed by incisive strategic instincts. You thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy bringing clarity and direction when faced with ambiguity.
You have a genuine curiosity about how things work. You can sit with engineers, understand the nuance of a new feature, and explain its value to a Tier-1 business journalist without losing the technical integrity.
You earn trust fast through directness and competence. You are comfortable giving the C-suite constructive coaching and providing a clear path forward under pressure.

Ownership: You proactively identify opportunities, take initiative on solutions, and follow through on commitments.
Trust: You listen as much as you talk and take responsibility for collective success.
