Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Run consumer electronics product launches from start to finish: embargoed briefings, launch-day coverage, and the long tail of reviews
  • Manage review programs: decide which products go to which reviewers, handle loaner logistics, and follow up until the review runs

Requirements

  • 3–5 years in PR or media relations, with a significant share of that time spent on consumer electronics products (agency or in-house)
  • Real, working relationships with consumer tech editors and reviewers, the kind where you can text someone about a launch
  • A portfolio of CE placements you're proud of: reviews, roundups, launch coverage
  • Hands-on experience with product launches, embargoes, and review-unit programs
  • Trade show experience (CES, IFA, or similar), and enjoying it
  • Experience managing or mentoring junior team members
  • Strong writing skills and a sharp sense of what makes a product story interesting
