  • Leading client accounts.
  • Contributing to business development and organic growth with existing clients.
  • Coordinating with social media, paid media, design, crisis, brand, and talent teams as needed.
  • Mentoring junior staff and managing up to senior staff, providing feedback to improve efficiency.
  • Responding to client requests promptly.
  • Supporting account administration, including results reporting, agendas, recaps, and budget tracking.

You Should Apply If :

  • You have at least 8 years of PR experience.
  • You’ve managed a team with direct oversight for at least 2 years.
  • You have a passion for and understanding of the technology and venture capital landscape.
  • You possess knowledge of financial and corporate communications, capital markets, and investor relations.
  • You have a track record of securing impactful top-tier press placements.
  • You can navigate financial stakeholders, thought leaders, and media effectively.
  • You are a strategic partner with stakeholders and can create impactful media moments.
  • You are a strong, persuasive, concise, and creative writer.
  • You are strategic, innovative, and enjoy brainstorming.
  • You have strong decision-making skills and accountability.
  • You are curious, entrepreneurial, organized, and detail-oriented.
  • You are willing to work some evenings / weekends and travel as needed.
  • You take pride in overdelivering and being part of something meaningful.
  • $90,000 - $105,000 a year
