About Bolt

Bolt is shaping a future where cities are built for people, not cars. What started as an ambitious project of a 19-year-old in 2013 has grown into a global mobility platform used by more than 200 million customers and 4.5 million driver and courier partners across 50 countries.

From ride-hailing and food delivery to scooters, e-bikes, and car-sharing, Bolt helps people move through cities every day. Small, autonomous teams drive this work, combining the speed and ownership of a startup with the scale of a global technology company backed by more than €1bn in funding.

And we're just getting started.

• Build the future of mobility and help transform how people live and move in cities.

• Tackle challenges at scale that span technology, operations, regulation, and growth.

• Take real ownership early. Small, lean teams mean your decisions matter from day one, and you'll learn fast alongside some of the best people in the industry.

• Drive proactive PR projects and agenda-setting initiatives, collaborate across teams and functions, and support crisis communications in line with internal procedures.

About you:

• Proven experience in public relations, including building media relationships, developing PR strategies, and delivering regional or market-level communications initiatives.
