Meet Your Future Neighbors

As a Communications Manager reporting to the EVP of Communications, you will be an integral member of Nextdoor’s communications team, helping shape and amplify the company’s story across the U.S. and around the world. You’ll work across a broad range of communications disciplines—from media relations and executive communications to content, social media, internal communications, and events—bringing curiosity, sound judgment, and a hands-on approach to every project.

This is a highly collaborative, cross functional role for a versatile communicator who enjoys moving between strategy and execution, and generating measurable results. You’ll help develop communications plans, draft media pitches and blog posts, support social storytelling, contribute to all-company meetings and internal initiatives, and identify new opportunities to engage our audiences. Your creativity, initiative, and ability to build strong relationships internally and externally will be essential to your success.

At Nextdoor, we operate in an AI-first environment and expect every team member to actively use AI tools as part of their workflow. We aren't looking for prompt engineers; we’re looking for people who use tools like Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Glean to challenge their own thinking and take full ownership of AI-assisted outputs.

We also offer a warm and inclusive work environment that embraces a hybrid employment model, blending an in office presence and work from home experience for our valued employees. The hiring team will go over these expectations with you if you are being considered for a role near one of our offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, New York, and London. 

The Impact You’ll Make 

We're looking for a communications generalist who already operates like a more senior communicator, someone who can step into an ambiguous, fast-moving situation, ask the right questions, and start producing sharp work without needing a fully scoped brief. This role touches nearly every part of how Nextdoor talks to employees, leaders, the press, and the public, so we care less about which specific muscle you've built and more about how you think, how fast you learn, and how much ownership you're comfortable taking. If you're the person your last team called first when something was unclear or moving fast, this is built for you.
