Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a transportation ecosystem that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient and accessible for all. At Aurora, our mission is to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. We are storytellers, blending data-driven insights, product innovation, and unique voices to shape the public narrative, differentiate our brand, and inspire external audiences. Through our stories, we show and tell, advance business goals, and strengthen our market position.

Texas is central to Aurora's DNA: it's where our trucks are running today and where our story is being written in real time. As Media Relations Manager, you will own Aurora's media presence in Texas, build and sustain relationships with the reporters, outlets, and editorial voices that shape how the public understands autonomous freight. You'll be embedded in Dallas, work with our operations team to develop and facilitate engaging onsite media experiences. You’ll also stay deeply connected to the regional and national media landscape and be responsible for ensuring Aurora tells a compelling, accurate, and proactive story.

This is a mid-senior-level management role that blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution in the field. You will work closely with cross-functional partners — including executive leadership, our operations team, business development, investor relations, government relations and other partners — to develop announcements, drive news, and create standout media moments in the heart of our commercial operations.
