Responsibilities

• Support Flexport's PR strategy end-to-end: proactive media pitching, inbound media management, press releases, and rapid response.
• Build and deepen relationships with key reporters and outlets covering logistics, trade, technology, and business.
• Develop and execute a thought leadership program that positions Flexport's CEO & Founder and other senior leaders as go-to voices on global trade, supply chain innovation, and AI in logistics.
• Staff and prep spokespeople for interviews, panels, and media appearances — including media training, message development, and briefing documents.
• Monitor the news cycle for opportunities to insert Flexport into breaking stories and larger industry narratives.
• Shape Flexport's content strategy and content development across blog, social media, website, webinars, and other owned channels.
• Define and evolve Flexport's narrative — how we talk about ourselves, how we connect our platform and products to the macro stories reshaping global trade, and how we differentiate from legacy freight forwarders.
• Build an editorial engine that produces high-quality, consistent content that serves demand generation, brand awareness, and customer education goals.
• Partner with Product Marketing and Growth Marketing to ensure content supports campaigns, product launches, and pipeline objectives.
• Own the voice and cadence of how Flexport communicates with customers outside of product and transactional workflows — service updates, policy changes, product announcements, and other moments that require clear, trustworthy messaging.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience spanning PR, communications, and content. A mix of agency and in-house experience is ideal.
• Proven media relationships and a track record of landing meaningful coverage in top-tier business, trade, and technology outlets. You know how to pitch, and reporters know your name.
• Experience as a communications partner to senior executives — you've prepped leaders for interviews, developed thought leadership platforms, and know how to translate a leader's vision into a public narrative.
• Strong editorial instincts and the ability to build a content program from strategy through execution. You can write, and you can also build systems that scale content without sacrificing quality.
• Experience owning customer communications in a B2B environment, particularly during complex or sensitive moments like service changes, pricing updates, or industry disruptions.
• The ability to move fast, manage multiple workstreams at once, and exercise excellent judgment about what to say, when to say it, and how.

Preferred

• Familiarity with the logistics, supply chain, or trade industry is a strong plus — but a fast learner with deep B2B or tech experience can thrive here too.
• You actively use AI tools to drive efficiencies across content production, media monitoring, research, and workflow automation. This isn't a nice-to-have — we want someone who is already using AI to make a small team move like a big one.
