About the Role

The Communications & PR Manager owns B Lab's press office and earned media delivery, balancing proactive story pitching and thought leadership placement with reactive press response: building and holding journalist relationships, drafting and issuing statements and releases, and acting as first point of contact for incoming press inquiries across the global network.

Reporting to the Director, Strategic Communications, this role shapes and delivers the earned media plan within the Director's global communications strategy, editorial standards, and crisis protocols: leading proactive pitching, owning media monitoring and insights, and preparing spokesperson briefings. The role requires sound news judgment, comfort operating under time pressure during reactive moments, and the independence to run the press office and represent B Lab publicly on non-crisis media matters, escalating emerging reputational risk to the Director.

This role is highly collaborative with strong stakeholder management skills: works with market PR leads to amplify coverage, facilitate cross-team learning, and uplift regional news highlights; collaborates with the Digital Communications Coordinator and Copywriter to align messaging across earned, owned, and thought leadership channels; and complements Brand & Campaigns' work through media support.
