Full job description
The Role
- Media Lead: You leverage an established network of contacts to secure high-impact features and product reviews that move the needle for our clients.
- Integrated Execution: Architect and execute 360-degree communications strategies that weave together traditional media relations, social media content, and creator/influencer partnerships.
- Account Stewardship: Own the day-to-day workstreams for a roster of 4–6 clients. You are the "glue" of the account—ensuring deliverables are met, junior staff is on track, and senior management is briefed.
- Content Command: Produce sophisticated, client-ready materials including messaging frameworks, press releases, executive briefing notes, and high-conversion media pitches.
- Event & Project Management: Lead the execution of media-specific events (dinners, press conferences, influencer launches). You manage the credentials and on-site logistics while ensuring the big picture strategy is realized.
- Mentorship in Action: You are a mentor to junior colleagues. You take genuine pride in teaching them the "how" and "why" of PR, from drafting the perfect pitch to managing a complex budget tracker.
- Business IQ: Participate in new business brainstorms and help craft proposals. You stay ahead of tech trends, venture capital shifts, and platform algorithms to provide real-time value to our clients.
- Relationship Driven: We are in a people business. You lead by example in how you treat your team, your clients, and the press—building the long-term trust that defines our agency.
Who You Are:
- Tech Expert: 4–5 years of PR experience with a focus on technology, B2B, or high-growth startups.
- An Integrated Storyteller: You understand the modern communications landscape and know how to bridge the gap between a Wall Street Journal feature and a viral TikTok moment.
- Strategic & Decisive: You bring new ideas to the table unprompted and have the decision-making ability to own your projects.
- High EQ You have high EQ and situational awareness. You know when to command a meeting and when to take a step back to support your team.
- Exceptionally Organized: You are a master of the "backend"—agendas, recaps, and budget trackers are second nature to you.
- Driven to Over-Deliver: You take pride in exceeding expectations and have an entrepreneurial spirit that pushes you to make every process and pitch better.
