【What Makes the "Public Relations (Corporate)" Role at AIRoA Unique】

Corporate communications at AIRoA is about conveying the value of a Japan-originated, national-level project to the world. AIRoA collects operational data from various types of robots and develops foundation models for robotics. As a NEDO-funded initiative, we are taking on an unprecedented challenge: developing foundational models and driving their global deployment with a large-scale R&D budget.
In this role, you will support this challenge from a communications perspective. As the "face" of a consortium that includes major corporations as well as universities and research institutions, you will engage with a wide range of stakeholders while leading our external communication efforts.

【AIRoAの「広報担当(企業)」の醍醐味】

AIRoAの広報は、日本発の国家級プロジェクトの価値を世界に伝える役割です。AIRoAは、各種ロボットから稼働データを収集し、ロボット向け基盤モデルの開発を行っていきます。NEDOの採択事業として、大規模な研究開発予算のもと、基盤モデルの開発とグローバル展開を目指すという、前例のないチャレンジを広報として支えるポジションです。大手企業や大学・研究機関が参画するコンソーシアムの"顔"として、多様なステークホルダーと向き合いながら情報発信ができます。

【The Appeal of Taking On This Challenge at AIRoA, Just as We Are Getting Started】

AIRoA was established at the end of 2024 as a general incorporated association and began full-scale operations in FY2025 with the goal of building a robot data ecosystem through the fusion of AI and robotics technologies. Leading Japanese companies have joined as full members, and numerous startups and research institutions are also participating.
We are very much in the phase of building the organization and its rules from the ground up, and there is significant room to shape our brand strategy, messaging, and communications processes. As an early member, you will experience the rare opportunity where your ideas and words directly become "the way things are" at the association.

【スタートを切ったばかりのAIRoAで挑戦する魅力】

AIRoAは2024年末に設立された一般社団法人で、AIとロボット技術の融合によるロボットデータエコシステム構築を目的に、2025年度から本格的に活動を開始しました。正会員として日本を代表する企業が名を連ね、スタートアップや研究機関も多数参画しています。まさに組織もルールもつくっていくフェーズで、ブランド戦略・メッセージ設計・広報プロセスなども、一から作る余地が大きいことが特徴です。立ち上げ期メンバーとして、自身の企画や言葉が、そのまま"協会の当たり前"になっていくフェーズを味わえます。

【Other】
While remote work is possible, this role is primarily expected to be office-based.
Most of our engineers and researchers also work on-site, conducting research and development directly in front of the robots.【その他】

リモートワーク可ではありますが、原則として出社での勤務を想定しています。

エンジニアや研究者も多くは出社し、ロボットを前に研究開発に取り組んでいます。

【About AIRoA】
AIRoA was established in December 2024 with two core objectives: "to revolutionize the technology of robot development through the fusion of robots and AI" and "to promote the use of robots in society." While AI is rapidly advancing worldwide, the shortage of data in robot development has become a critical issue.

To address this challenge, we are running a national flagship project funded by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), with an investment of over JPY 20 billion.

【AIRoAの概要】

「ロボットとAIの融合によってロボット開発の技術を革新すること」「社会におけるロボットの活用を推進すること」AIRoAは2024年12月に設立された組織であり、この2つの目的を掲げています。今、世界中でAIが急速に発展する一方、ロボット開発ではデータ不足が深刻です。私たちはNEDO(国立研究開発法人 新エネルギー・産業技術総合開発機構)から200億円を超える出資による国家プロジェクトを進行しています。

●Recruitment Background

AIRoA is driving a long-term project to develop foundation models for robotics and expand their use globally. To make this project a success, it is essential that we build strong recognition and trust in both academia and industry, and establish a clear position on the global stage as a Japan-led initiative.

To this end, we are newly hiring a Corporate Communications Specialist who will lead our overall PR activities, including international communications. We are looking for someone who can partner with us from the ground up—designing the framework and processes for communications and then putting them into operation in this newly launched organization.

 ●募集背景

ジションを築くことが不可欠です。そこで、国際コミュニケーションを含むPR活動全体をリードする広報担当を新たに募集します。立ち上がったばかりの組織で、仕組みづくりから運用までを一緒に担っていただける方を求めています。

●Future Mission

Through your day-to-day work—such as managing press releases, social media channels, media interviews, and event PR—you will gain a deep understanding of AIRoA's business, technologies, and stakeholders.

Building on this foundation, you will be involved in more strategic, upstream initiatives, including planning and executing an integrated domestic and global communications strategy, developing relationships with media, analysts, and partner companies, and establishing brand guidelines and messaging frameworks.

In the future, we expect you to take a leading role across all PR activities, driving your own initiatives and growing into a core member of the communications team.

●将来のミッション

プレスリリースやSNS運用、取材対応、イベント広報などの日々の業務を通じて、AIRoAの事業・技術・ステークホルダーを深く理解していただきます。その上で、国内外一貫のコミュニケーション戦略の立案・実行、メディア/アナリスト/パートナー企業との関係構築、ブランドガイドラインやメッセージフレームの整備など、上流工程にも関わっていただく想定です。将来的には、広報全体のリード役として、自ら企画を推進し、チームの中核人材として成長していただくことを期待しています。
