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.

If you're the person your last team called first when something was unclear or moving fast, this is built for you. • Executive communications: Support leaders with talking points, presentations, remarks, internal updates, and other communications that bring the company’s priorities and perspective to life • Thought leadership: Identify opportunities and develop compelling narratives, bylines, speaking materials, and other communications that position Nextdoor and its leaders as voices on community, trust, technology, and the future of connection • Product communications: Partner with product, marketing, and cross-functional teams to translate product news and company priorities into clear, audience-focused messaging for launches, updates, and key moments • Internal communications: Help plan and deliver all-company meetings, employee communications, leadership updates, change-management materials, and other initiatives that keep employees informed and engaged • Media and external communications: Contribute to media strategies, pitches, briefings, reactive communications, an
