Who You Are
- You have 10+ years of PR and communications experience, with meaningful time spent in both agency and in-house environments.
- You've built a communications function before, or have been close enough to it that you know what's required.
- You're as comfortable writing a briefing document for a CEO as you are pitching a story to a technology editor.
- You have strong relationships across tech, business, and consumer media. And you know how to earn new ones.
- You understand how B2B and consumer audiences require fundamentally different approaches, and you can hold both simultaneously.
- You've worked with or around investor communications and understand how narrative intersects with capital strategy.
- Experience in tech, sports, live events, or entertainment PR is a meaningful plus.
- You're a builder mentality, not a maintainer. You get energy from creating structure, not inheriting it.
