About The Position

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.
