Your experience with complex topics such as cloud infrastructure, enterprise IT, AI, and data security—and your ability to translate technical messages into impactful narratives—will set you up for success here.

What You'll Do

• Client Service & Program Support
  • Support day‑to‑day client account work, including media relations, awards, speaking programs, and content development.
  • Help manage projects by tracking deliverables, timelines, and priorities to ensure quality and alignment with client goals.

  • Draft, refine, and distribute pitches that generate coverage aligned with client goals.
  • Monitor media coverage and industry news to identify opportunities for client participation.
  • Contribute to social and digital amplification strategies to extend earned media results.
• Writing & Content Development
  • Write and edit clear, engaging content across multiple formats, including:
  • Press releases, media pitches, and Q&A
  • Award submissions, speaking abstracts, and bios
  • Contributed articles, blogs, and background materials
  • Translate complex technology concepts into accessible, compelling narratives.
  • Ensure accuracy, tone, and messaging consistency across all client deliverables.
• Insights, Analytics & Integration
  • Track, analyze, and report on media results and campaign performance.
  • Support senior team members in using data to refine pitching and storytelling strategies.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across teams—social, content, design—to ensure integrated program delivery.
• Collaboration & Growth
  • Work closely with your team to support execution, share ideas, and learn from senior mentors.
  • Take initiative on projects, communicate clearly, and manage your time effectively.
  • Contribute to a supportive, creative, and collaborative team environment.

What You Bring

• 2–3 years of PR or communications experience, preferably in an agency setting.
• Background in B2B technology sectors such as AI, cybersecurity, SaaS, or infrastructure.
• Strong writing and editing skills with an eye for detail and clarity.
• Experience supporting media relations and securing coverage.
• Strong organization and multitasking skills in a fast‑paced environment.
• Curiosity about emerging technology trends and storytelling opportunities.
• A proactive, team‑oriented, and growth‑mindset attitude.
