We are looking for a strategic, creative, and highly organized Digital PR Manager to own the link-building and online visibility component of our client campaigns.

The Role:
This is not your traditional PR role. We are looking for a link-building expert who understands that in the digital age, media mentions are the ultimate ranking signal. You will be the bridge between traditional public relations and technical SEO, responsible for crafting compelling narratives that earn high-authority backlinks and drive measurable organic growth.

• Craft Compelling Pitches: Write customized, newsworthy email pitches that cut through the noise and resonate with specific reporters and publications.

• Develop Story Angles: Collaborate with internal teams to formulate data-driven story ideas, article topics, and creative content that publications want to feature.

• Manage the Full Cycle: From initial research and prospect list building to securing the placement and reporting on KPIs, you will own the process.

• Communicate with Impact: Provide timely updates to clients and internal stakeholders, and clearly communicate the value of earned media in the context of overall SEO goals.

Who You Are:

You are a seasoned self-starter with 3-4 years of experience at the intersection of PR and SEO. You are obsessed with details, organized to a fault, and thrive on the thrill of securing a hard-to-get placement. You bring a positive attitude, a sense of humor, and a proactive approach to every campaign.

Required Qualifications:

• Link Building Expertise: 3-4 years of proven experience in PR or SEO link building, with a portfolio of earned placements.

• Outreach Mastery: Experience using outreach platforms and tools to find and connect with the right reporters.

• Technical Familiarity: Experience with Ahrefs, SEMrush, or similar tools to evaluate link opportunities is a significant plus.

• Superior Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; you can write a pitch that gets opened and read.

• Organizational Prowess: Strong task and project management skills to juggle multiple clients and campaigns simultaneously.
