Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Support day-to-day execution of an established PR program — drafting and distributing press materials, coordinating announcements, and managing an editorial calendar of news moments.
  • Pitch and place stories with security, technology, and business media, and build and maintain relationships with reporters, editors, and analysts.
  • Help translate technical threat research and product news into clear, compelling narratives for external audiences.
  • Support executive and spokesperson communications, including briefing prep, talking points, and industry engagement opportunities.
  • Track coverage, monitor the media landscape, and report on results against program goals.
  • Help build and grow an earned creator program from the ground up — defining the approach, identifying priority platforms, and setting the foundation for how we work with creators.
  • Identify, vet, and build authentic relationships with creators and voices across security, tech, consumer, and adjacent spaces.
  • Develop briefs, story angles, and campaign moments that give creators genuinely useful, on-brand material to work with.
  • Coordinate creator activity around launches, research releases, and cultural moments, in partnership with social, content, and brand teams.
  • Measure earned creator impact and iterate — refining the program as it scales from early wins into a repeatable channel.

Requirements

  • 7–10 years of experience in communications, PR, or earned media — in-house, at an agency, or a mix. This is a mid-level role, not entry-level or leadership.
  • A track record of earning media coverage and building genuine relationships with journalists and/or creators.
  • Strong writing and editing skills, with the ability to make technical topics clear and interesting for a general audience.
  • Familiarity with the creator and influencer landscape, and a point of view on how earned creator relationships differ from paid influencer deals.
  • Comfort operating in two modes at once: executing reliably within a mature program and building something new from early stages.
  • Organized and self-directed, able to manage multiple workstreams and deadlines with limited oversight.
  • Interest in cybersecurity, technology, privacy, or online culture — direct security experience is a plus, not a requirement.
  • Bachelor’s Degree preferred but not required

Preferred

  • Experience in cybersecurity, technology, or another fast-moving, technically complex industry.
  • Experience standing up or scaling a earned creator or influencer programs.
  • Familiarity with media monitoring, PR, and social measurement tools.
