Director of Public Relations

Director of Public Relations

Rumble is the Freedom-First technology platform. We proudly offer a video platform, cloud services, advertising solutions, and a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet.

Rumble is building something entirely new in media and technology, and we're looking for a Director of Public Relations to define how our story is told from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to establish and lead PR for a multi-billion dollar company that has never had a formal PR function, shaping narratives for our consumer products, our new cloud and AI-infrastructure business, and the company as a whole.

As Director of Public Relations, you will operate at the center of a complex communications ecosystem, bringing together B2C product storytelling, B2B positioning, and investor-facing narratives. You'll partner closely with Marketing, Investor Relations, Legal, and executive leadership to ensure alignment across audiences, while building a cohesive voice that reflects how Rumble's two core business units work together.

This role begins as a hands-on individual contributor, owning strategy and execution from day one, with a clear path to building and leading a team. You'll manage external agency partners, establish deep media relationships, and play a key role in launching and codifying the narrative for our AI business. If you're motivated by the chance to build, influence, and leave a lasting mark on a high-growth company's public presence, this role offers that opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Develop and lead Rumble's public relations strategy across corporate, B2B, and B2C narratives, aligning with brand, reputation, and business objectives.
• Define and tell the story of Rumble's evolving ecosystem, including the launch of Quake AI and how it integrates with Rumble's broader platform and products.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists, editors, and industry influencers across both B2B and consumer media landscapes.
• Own media outreach and external communications, including press releases, pitches, talking points, FAQs, and executive messaging.
• Partner closely with Investor Relations and external IR agencies to ensure alignment between public narratives and shareholder communications.
• Advise senior leadership on messaging, media strategy, and reputation risk related to major company initiatives and announcements.
• Lead crisis communications planning and execution, ensuring rapid, thoughtful responses to emerging issues.
• Oversee and manage external PR agencies and vendors, ensuring high-quality execution and strong return on investment.
• Drive executive visibility and thought leadership, including media opportunities, speaking engagements, and contributed content.
• Track and analyze PR performance, including media coverage, sentiment, and message pull-through, using insights to refine strategy.
• Build and scale the PR function over time, including hiring and developing internal team members.

Qualifications

• 8–10 years of experience in public relations, corporate communications, or related fields, ideally within high-growth, later-stage companies.
• Proven experience developing and executing integrated PR strategies that elevate brand awareness and manage corporate reputation.
• Strong media relationships across both B2B and consumer press, with a track record of securing meaningful coverage.
• Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills, with experience crafting executive and media-facing communications.
• Experience managing external agencies and cross-functional stakeholders in fast-paced, high-visibility environments.
• Ability to operate as a hands-on leader, balancing strategy and execution in an evolving environment.
• Strong judgment and composure in handling sensitive issues, including crisis communications.
• Familiarity with the modern media ecosystem, including the impact of AI and evolving digital distribution channels.
• Bachelor's degree in Public Relations, Communications, Journalism, Marketing, or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a publicly traded or high-visibility company with exposure to investor relations and shareholder communications.
• Background in technology, media, or other reputation-sensitive industries.
