Overview

Legend is hiring a Digital PR specialist, reporting directly to our Digital PR Manager. We’re looking for a creative and driven Digital PR Specialist to join a newly formed team focused on one of our most exciting flagship brands. This is your chance to shape something from the ground up — launching standout campaigns, driving high-authority backlinks, and setting the tone for what great looks like.

If you’re excited by the idea of building something brilliant — we’d love to hear from you.

In this role, we value diverse perspectives and encourage you to apply even if you don\'t meet every qualification listed.

Your Impact

• Secure high-authority backlinks from top-tier media through innovative campaigns, helping the brand grow organic visibility and outperform competitors in search.
• Play a key role in shaping the creative direction of a newly formed Digital PR sub-team, influencing processes, best practices, and overall team tone and vision.
• Position the brand as a market leader in its category by consistently generating media coverage that reinforces authority, relevance, and trustworthiness.
• Build meaningful media relationships with US and Canadian journalists, ensuring repeat coverage and long-term link-building opportunities.
• Collaborate with SEO, content, and wider marketing stakeholders to align campaigns with keyword priorities, audience needs, and commercial objectives.
• Build on early success to develop repeatable, scalable Digital PR strategies that drive long-term impact and support team growth.

What You\'ll Bring

• Digital PR Experience: A proven track record of landing coverage and backlinks across US and Canadian media; experience in iGaming, sports, or entertainment is a plus.
• Creative Campaign Thinking: A desire for developing standout, newsworthy campaign ideas that resonate with media and deliver results.
• Strong Writing & Storytelling: Ability to craft compelling narratives and uncover a story in data, trends, and expert insight.
• Media-Savvy Communication: Confident and persuasive in pitching stories, providing expert commentary, and building journalist relationships.
• Data-Led Mindset: Comfortable analysing data and pulling out insights to support campaign angles — no advanced technical skills needed.
• Independence & Collaboration: A self-starter who can run campaigns end-to-end while thriving in a fast-moving, collaborative team environment.
