Job description

Firebrand | San Francisco, remote-first with Bay Area base | $95,000-120,000 | www.firebrand.marketing

About Firebrand

Firebrand is the brand awareness agency for AI companies. We make AI firms visible, discoverable and memorable to prospects, investors, talent and partners. We build awareness for B2B AI companies through integrated programs involving PR, SEO/GEO, social and paid media. We are a true partner in brand awareness marketing, from guiding and optimizing strategy to executing quickly and confidently. Through our seasoned team, rich partner ecosystem, strong connections, and custom AI agents, we help brands not just show up, but stand out. Firebrand is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

You can expect an entrepreneurial culture, to work directly with a senior team, to be strategic and hands-on, and to help build a fantastic firm. We have no politics, no bureaucracy, efficient systems, and a supportive approach. We focus on great work, high levels of client service, and expanding our skills. The agency is AI-forward with a range of custom apps and agents, and we expect all our team members to be fluent with AI workflows.

We work with high-growth B2B AI companies, many of them backed by prominent VCs including a16z, GV, LightSpeed and Menlo Ventures. Currently, clients operate in sectors such as enterprise AI, AI infrastructure, robotics/physical AI, analytics and fintech.

About the role

We're looking for a Public Relations Account Supervisor with strong media relations skills and a focus on the B2B technology sector. You'll need media relationships you can describe specifically, a feel for the news cycle, and domain expertise in the tech sector.

The position is responsible for media strategy, timely news pitches and media outreach. Understanding the business and tech trade media, technology trends and how clients fit into them is vital.

You'll sit in a senior marketing team well-versed in PR and digital marketing, alongside marketing strategists and digital marketing experts. Our PR work feeds our GEO work, so part of the job is understanding how earned media affects where clients show up in AI search, and being able to explain that to a client. We don't expect you to arrive as a GEO expert. We do expect you to find it interesting.

This role reports to our SVP of Media Relations and typically works across four clients.
