This role will manage press releases, media relations, investor communications support, and proactive thought leadership initiatives that position the organization as a leader within its space. The PR Manager will serve as a key media-facing resource, handling fast-moving press inquiries and media “fire drills” while maintaining clear, objective, and error‑free messaging. This individual will work closely with executive leaders and internal stakeholders, interviewing them to translate insights into compelling press, thought leadership, and marketing content. The role partners cross-functionally with creative, content, and social teams to distribute content across articles, interviews, video, and social platforms, while helping assess reach, engagement, and overall impact. This position goes beyond traditional PR, with a strong focus on elevating leadership visibility and driving long-term industry credibility.
