Required
The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
You've worked inside a PR agency and on the client side directing one, so you know how to brief a firm, push its work to the standard, and get full value from a retainer.
You've run press in political or government settings where a single wrong quote carries real consequences, and your judgment on when not to engage is as sharp as your pitch.
You've told the story of physical infrastructure at scale (data centers, energy, utilities, or large capital projects) to audiences ranging from skeptical locals to national reporters.
You've created press events from scratch: announcements, open houses, site tours, ribbon cuttings, and the media moments that turn a milestone into coverage.
You carry working relationships across all three altitudes of media, from the county weekly to the statehouse press corps to national desks, and you know which story belongs where.
You write fast and clean under deadline: releases, statements, talking points, and backgrounders that need no second pass.
Bonus: Hyperscale or data center industry coverage knowledge. Crisis and issues communications. Political campaign or statehouse press experience. Spanish-language media fluency.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
