Senior Corporate Communications Lead

We're currently looking for a Senior Corporate Communications Lead to join our PR Core Team. In this role, you will be responsible for protecting and shaping Polestar's corporate reputation, leading engagement with business and corporate media, and driving external communication strategies that support our business objectives.

As part of the Global Marketing & Communication function, you will lead communications related to financial performance, sustainability, business strategy, and crisis management, ensuring a consistent and compelling corporate narrative across markets. You will also partner closely with Product, Design, Sustainability, Investor Relations, Legal, and regional PR teams to translate company priorities into impactful communication initiatives.

This position is located in Gothenburg, Sweden. We believe in a hybrid model when it comes to remote and onsite work, knowing that both in-person collaboration and individual focus time are important for success.

The responsibilities

In this role, you'll be instrumental in strengthening Polestar's reputation, supporting business goals through strategic communications, and guiding senior stakeholders through complex communication opportunities and challenges.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead financial communications, including quarterly and annual reports, commercial updates, and Nasdaq-related disclosures in close collaboration with Legal and Investor Relations.

• Lead crisis communications and represent the Marketing & Communications leadership team within crisis management activities.

• Drive sustainability communications in partnership with Sustainability, Lifestyle PR, and Consumer PR teams.

• Develop and execute corporate communication strategies that enhance Polestar's reputation and media positioning globally.

• Advise senior leaders on communication strategies, media engagement, stakeholder positioning, and corporate messaging.

• Monitor public perception, industry trends, and stakeholder sentiment.

• Build and maintain relationships with key media, partners, and stakeholders – in Sweden and globally.

The ideal candidate

To succeed in this role, you'll need strong judgment, strategic thinking, and the ability to navigate a fast-moving and highly visible environment. You are an exceptional communicator who can translate complex topics into clear and engaging narratives. You build credibility easily, influence senior stakeholders with confidence, and thrive through collaboration across functions, markets, and leadership levels. You are equally comfortable developing long-term communication strategies and responding to emerging issues when the situation requires decisive action.

In addition, you'll need the following qualifications:

• Extensive experience (approximately 10+ years) in PR and corporate communications, ideally within a global or multi-market organization, enabling you to navigate diverse stakeholders and communication needs.

• Proven experience leading financial, corporate, executive, or business communications, with the ability to communicate complex business topics clearly and credibly.

• Strong experience in crisis communications, including advising leaders and managing communications during high-profile or sensitive situations.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Swedish language skills are an advantage.

• Experience working with publicly listed companies, particularly Nasdaq- or US-listed businesses.

• Strong financial acumen. A background in or experience of Investor Relations is not required, but a plus.

If the above matches your ambitions, be sure to apply. Due to the summer holiday period, our recruitment process is moving at a slower pace, and we may not be able to provide updates in the meantime. We look forward to getting back to you during August.
