## Description

**About Manna**

At **Manna**, we’re changing how the world receives things — by taking delivery to the skies.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: **to make high-speed suburban delivery affordable, green, and safe**. We design and build our own aviation-grade drones that deliver food, coffee, groceries, and more directly from local stores and vendors to people’s doors in just a few minutes.

We’re a team that **Drive with Impact**, are **Safety Focused**, and knows that the best ideas come from **Team Players** who show up as their **Authentic Selves**. We move fast, we are passionate about what we do, and we’re always pushing a growth mindset to **be better** in everything we do.

If you want to build world-changing technology with real-world impact (and have a bit of fun while doing it), you’ll love it here.

**Welcome to Manna — where we deliver the future.**

**Role Purpose**

We are hiring a Community Engagement Manager. As Manna launches in Tulsa, this role is accountable for building genuine, grassroots-level acceptance of the service in the local community

This is a highly visible, relationship-driven role, one of four roles across the corporate affairs team, all reporting directly to Director of Corporate Affairs.

Objective: build local trust and acceptance by embedding Manna in the Tulsa community and developing strong, lasting local relationships.

**Key Responsibilities**

Local Government Touchpoint (On-the-Ground Support)

◦        Attend routine local government meetings, council sessions, and informal touchpoints that don't require the Director of Corporate Affairs’ in-person presence.

◦        Build informal, on-the-ground familiarity with council staff and local officials between scheduled visits.

◦        Feed local context, sentiment, and emerging issues back to the Director of Corporate Affairs in a timely way.

◦        Support logistics for visits and meetings when Manna Leadership are in Tulsa.

**Create Positive Familiarity**

◦        Maintain a regular presence in schools, community events, and local spaces.

◦        Demonstrate what Manna does in a simple, tangible, approachable way.

◦        Reinforce key themes of safety, benefits to the community, and innovation.

**Build a Network of Local Support**

◦        Develop advocates across schools, clubs, community leadership and local businesses.

◦        Identify and cultivate voices who will speak positively about Manna in the community.

•        **Be the Local Face of the Company**

◦        Maintain a visible, approachable, and consistent local presence.

◦        Build relationships with community leaders, schools and educators, and local groups and organizations.

•        **Collaboration with Communications & Community Coordinator**

◦        Work in close day-to-day partnership with the PR & Communications Manager to ensure local content and insight-gathering supports community engagement goals.

What You'll Bring

•        Excellent interpersonal and public speaking skills; comfortable representing a company at community events and informal government touchpoints.

•        Comfortable acting as the local execution partner to a more senior, remote-based stakeholder lead: strong communicator, reliable follow-through, no ego about who's in the room.

•        Experience managing or mentoring a junior team member is a plus.

**Experience & Requirements**

•        3+ years in community engagement, local government, education outreach, nonprofit relations, or similar people-facing local roles.

•        Deep familiarity with, or roots in, the Tulsa/Oklahoma community.

•        Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.

**What Success Looks Like at 6–12 Months**

•        A recognizable, trusted local presence for Manna across key Tulsa community touchpoints.

•        An active network of community advocates that can be called on to support the company publicly.

•        A strong, well-coordinated working partnership with the PR & Communications Manager with local insight flowing consistently into the wider team.
