What We’re Looking For

4+ Years Experience: Ideally in public relations, communications, or journalism, with at least some experience in a fast-paced or consumer-facing organization

Curious About Emerging Tech: Proactive about learning about new technologies like AI and have an understanding about how they can shape consumer behavior with brands, platforms, and each other. We recognize that we are each always learning and adapting too.

Strong Editorial Instincts: You know a good story when you see one and how to frame it for a reporter. Journalism experience is a plus

Media Relations Experience: Demonstrated success pitching media and landing earned coverage across lifestyle, business, and/or tech

Clear, Concise Writing: Exceptional written communication and an ability to adapt your tone to fit different formats.

Culturally Engaged: Interested in dating, relationships, internet culture, and the conversations shaping how people connect

Team-Oriented: Collaborative, flexible, and comfortable working with multiple stakeholders to achieve the best outcome

Research-Minded: You ask thoughtful questions and enjoy digging into data or trends to find story potential

Organized & Detail-Oriented: Strong follow-through on tasks big and small

Initiative & Adaptability: You're confident prioritizing your work, troubleshooting issues as they arise, knowing when to escalate or ask for input, and staying flexible as priorities shift

Values-Aligned: You’re excited to support a mission that centers on connection, empathy, and authenticity, and help others see that in our stories

As a member of our team, you’ll enjoy:

401(k) Matching: We match 100% of the first 10% of pre-tax 401(k) contributions you make, up to a maximum of $10,000 per year.
