Full job description
The Role:
- Account Stewardship: Serve as the primary point of contact for a roster of 4–6 clients, ensuring projects move from concept to completion and that internal teams stay motivated and on-task.
- Integrated Execution: Help develop and execute 360-degree communications strategies that span traditional B2B media relations, social-first content, and digital creator integration.
- Media Impact: Leverage your growing network of tech and business media contacts to secure needle-moving coverage. You know how to pitch a complex story and turn a technical launch into a cultural moment.
- High EQ: You possess exceptional situational awareness. You have the executive presence to command a meeting when necessary, but the humility and judgment to take a step back and empower your team or client to take the lead.
- Content Creation: Craft sharp, persuasive, and clear materials—from press releases and blog content to executive briefing notes and media pitches.
- Event & Media Logistics: Plan and execute media-specific events, including press conferences and influencer gatherings. You own the backend logistics—RSVPs, credentials, and on-site media wrangling—without skipping a beat.
- Mentorship & Growth: Proactively mentor and teach junior team members the inner workings of PR. We believe in building careers, and your leadership is vital to our team’s success.
- Strategic Brainstorming: Bring new, out-of-the-box ideas to the table unprompted. If you see a way to make a process better or a pitch sharper, we want you to own it.
Who You Are:
- The Tech Enthusiast: 5–6 years of experience in PR/Communications, with a specific focus on technology, B2B, or startups. You have a genuine opinion on the latest launch and stay ahead of industry trends.
- A Proven Leader: At least 1 year of experience managing client teams with direct oversight. You are ready to project-manage complex accounts and deliver high-quality results.
- The Generalist Mindset: You are curious by nature and eager to touch a variety of clients across hardware, gaming, fintech, healthtech, and more.
- An Exceptional Communicator: You are a fast, persuasive writer and a verbal communicator who can build deep trust with clients and media alike.
- Highly Organized & Scrappy: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and take genuine pride in over-delivering on every project.
- Flexible: Willing to work select evenings/weekends and travel to bring our clients’ biggest moments to life.
