Job Summary

Own PR and narrative work for institutional clients, turning strategy into stories and delivering journalist-ready outreach across print, radio, online, and social channels.

  • Responsibilities: direct client PR, long-term messaging, media pitch coordination, on-site press at events, cross-team collaboration, and asset-driven content planning.
  • Outcome focus: move journalists to reply, build social presence, and ensure campaigns land with clear, engaging storytelling across channels.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Serve as day-to-day contact for a roster of institutional clients who adore clarity, competence, and the occasional meme.
  • Develop long-term PR strategies, messaging arcs, and angles compelling enough to make journalists actually reply to emails.
  • Pitch and coordinate stories with national and local press across print, radio, online, and “we swear this actually gets good engagement” social platforms.
  • Manage press on-site at events, concerts, and festivals—making sure everything runs smoothly while looking effortlessly calm.
  • Be the first call, the trusted sounding board, the steady hand, and the person who always knows what’s happening when.
  • Communicate with in-house marketing and communications teams, keeping projects aligned, informed, gloriously successful and blissfully drama-free.
  • Help clients understand what will actually make an impact, gently rescuing them from ideas that definitely won’t.
  • Oversee and grow clients’ social media channels, digital campaigns, and overall online presence.
  • Build content plans that actually move the needle (or at least make someone pause mid-scroll).
  • Collaborate with clients and our internal creatives to assemble and distribute photos, videos, graphics, and all the other shiny assets that make the people go wild.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree
  • ~5 years of relevant experience (PR, communications, digital strategy, arts administration, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of classical music and its ecosystem
  • Schedule: Full-time, in person (three days per week in-office in Greenpoint, Brooklyn), with flexibility for nights/weekends when clients have events

Preferred

  • World-class communicator with charisma, tact, empathy and the ability to write emails that people genuinely enjoy reading
  • Natural storyteller who can translate institutional initiatives into narratives that resonate
  • Excellent writer who toggles between press releases, social copy, pitch notes, speeches, and quick edits that become full rewrites

Benefits

  • Health, dental, vision, pet insurance (because your corgi deserves coverage)
  • flexible scheduling
  • paid travel for events
  • and as much live music as your heart can handle
