Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.\nJoining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.\nAbout the Team: \nThe Brand & Communications team drives all aspects of brand identity, media relations, digital media, and content strategy, focusing on both external impact and internal alignment. Our mission is to position the company as a trusted industry leader and household name, shaping the narrative around our bold vision and groundbreaking milestones. By crafting compelling stories and innovative campaigns, we energize and inspire stakeholders, fueling momentum that drives Relativity’s mission forward.\nAbout the Role:\nThe Communications Manager will help shape and execute communications strategies that strengthen the company's reputation, engage key audiences, and communicate our mission, technology, and progress. As we approach Terran R's first launch, we're entering one of the most pivotal and exciting stretches in our company's history, and we're looking for someone who wants to be right in the middle of it.\nThis role is built for a true generalist: someone energized by variety, eager to roll up their sleeves, and excited to learn by doing. One moment you might be drafting a press statement, the next you're sitting in on an engineering review to understand a new milestone, and the next you're pulling together the weekly internal newsletter. You'll work cross-functionally with teams across the company, including hardware and software engineering, manufacturing, and corporate functions like Legal and People, giving you a front-row seat to how the company builds, grows, and tells its story at a defining moment.\nIn this role, you’ll:\nDevelop and execute communications plans spanning major milestones (test campaigns, launches, partnerships), including real-time social posting, webcast support, media management, and crisis/anomaly rapid-response communications.\nWrite and edit press releases, talking points, blog and social content, and FAQs, and lead media relations: drafting statements, prepping spokespeople, and managing press inquiries and relationships.\nPartner with technical teams to translate complex engineering work into clear, compelling narratives for internal and external audiences.\nTrack, analyze, and report on communications effectiveness to refine strategy over time, and maintain brand and editorial consistency across internal and external deliverables.\nProject manage an editorial calendar, manage the speaking engagement calendar, and draft awards submissions to raise the company's profile.\nDraft recurring internal content, including a weekly internal newsletter and digital signage, and support community engagement, educational outreach, and STEM-related initiatives.\nAbout You:\nBachelor's degree in communications, public relations, journalism, marketing, or a related field, and 5+ years of experience in corporate communications, PR, journalism, or a related discipline. \nBias for action and comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities can shift quickly. \nExceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills, with the ability to tailor messaging to different audiences. \nStrong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines. \nSound judgment, discretion, and professionalism when handling sensitive or confidential information. \nAbility to build relationships and collaborate effectively with technical experts, cross-functional teams, and journalists alike. \nNice to haves but not required: \nExperience in hardware and/or software-driven technical organizations. \nExperience in aerospace, advanced manufacturing, or defense. \nExperience supporting a company through major public milestones. \nExperience with event planning and/or project management, particularly in fast-moving, cross-functional environments. \nBasic photo or video editing skills for content and social media use. \nAt Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.\nCompensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more!
