Senior Communications Manager, Australia (R6089)

Come join a fast-growing team in a strategically important market to shape stories around the cutting-edge technologies that underpin Shield AI's mission: protecting service members and civilians through intelligent systems and sovereign autonomy. In this role, you will lead media relations and communications initiatives for Shield AI in Australia, building the company's reputation as a trusted, locally capable and long-term defence technology partner.

Australia is home to Shield AI Australia and its Melbourne-based engineering capability. You will help translate the substance of that local presence—including Australian engineering expertise, sensing and situational-awareness technologies, autonomy software, and collaboration with Australian defence and industry stakeholders—into credible, sustained external communications.

Working closely with the Regional Communications Lead for Asia and the Middle East, Global Communications, Australia business development, government relations, engineering, and cross-functional teams, you will support strategic business priorities and shape narratives around consequential technologies changing the defence landscape. You will serve as the in-country communications owner for Australia while connecting local proof points to Shield AI's global mission and regional growth strategy.
