About the Role
========================================
We are hiring a senior PR professional who knows how to land the story and get it in front of the right audiences. Beyond the relationships, you understand the full distribution stack — which outlets to pitch, which platforms to publish on, which channels to amplify through, and how each one fits into a unified distribution strategy.
The role is fully remote, open to both full-time and part-time candidates, and built for someone who combines a strong media network with sharp channel instincts.

◦ Regional and local press in target markets (US, Europe, Middle East, Asia-Pacific)
◦ Trade and industry publications (energy, finance, policy, tech, consulting verticals)
◦ Owned media (company website, blog, newsletter, LinkedIn, X, YouTube)
◦ Earned media amplification (paid boosting, native ads, syndication)
◦ Influencer and expert networks (Substack writers, LinkedIn voices, podcast hosts) • Build and maintain a structured channel database, including editors, journalists, podcast producers, newsletter operators, and platform community managers.
• Pitch and place stories across the full channel mix, choosing the right vehicle for each message.
• Run cross-channel campaigns that combine organic coverage, paid amplification, and direct publishing.
• Track performance by channel: coverage volume, reach, sentiment, engagement, and cost per meaningful impression.
• Handle inbound media inquiries, coordinate interviews, and brief spokespeople.
• Support crisis communications with clear, channel-aware responses.========================================

• Deep familiarity with the full PR distribution stack — earned, owned, paid, and shared — and when to use each.
• Proven track record of placing content across multiple channel types, with measurable results.
• Strong writing and pitching skills in English; bonus for additional languages.
• Comfort with data: you read dashboards, track channel performance, and adjust strategy based on what works.Nice to have:
• Hands-on experience running paid amplification campaigns (LinkedIn Ads, X Ads, native networks, newsletter sponsorships).
• Existing relationships at major outlets, top Substack writers, and influential industry podcasts.
• Experience with content repurposing — turning one research piece into 10 channel-ready assets.
• Multilingual skills, especially Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, French, or German.
