Yubo doesn't have a PR team yet, and that's exactly why this role exists: to build one from scratch and help Yubo become culturally relevant, resilient to reputational bumps, and a real driver of growth.

It's a rare chance to shape a PR function from day one inside a fast-moving global tech company. You'll design how it works, lead our agency partner, and craft the stories, moments and relationships that make people pay attention to Yubo. The role covers everyday consumer stories, corporate communications, and handling sensitive issues or crises when they arise. To start, you'll focus on the US, UK and France, with room to grow from there.

You'll report to the Director of Brand & Communications and work closely with teams across the business, especially Brand, Product, Data, Trust & Safety and Legal. You'll own the relationship with our PR agency, making sure they feel like a true extension of the team, and you'll help set up the habits and processes that make PR part of how Yubo works day to day.

This is a freelance role on a 6-month contract, with a target start in Q4 2026.
