Public Relations Specialist (Contract)
Hey you. If you’re reading this, you’re ready to take the leap into the unknown and join a small company making massive waves. You’re ready to be part of something bigger and dive deep into what makes mission-driven businesses successful. If this sounds like you, we welcome you to join us at HeadStart.
HeadStart is a dynamic PR agency specializing in content, media relations and more for mission-driven companies in the health, work and growth spaces. We help our clients build strong brand reputations, tell stories that resonate, and connect with their target audiences.
You’re probably wondering what, exactly, we’re looking for. Glad you asked. Our contract PR Specialist will have a minimum of 15 hours per week to start as a contract position, with the expectation for the role to transition into a full-time position within 90 days. You will be responsible for:
What exactly does that entail? Glad you asked.
Crafting strategy, writing pitches, coordinating interviews, and monitoring media trends our clients should be a part of.
Curating a roster of go-to media contacts ready and willing to bring those stories to the local and national stage.
Identify and leverage opportunities for thought leadership
What do we expect from you? That’s an easy one.
You’re a seasoned professional, meaning it's not your first time pulling a pitch together and some prior experience at a PR agency or as part of an in-house communications team is preferred.
You're comfortable working on a fully remote team. While we like to work as an all-hands-on-deck kind of operation - which means being a team player is key - there will be plenty of self-directed work and you'll be expected to own your client accounts.
You’ll send us examples of relevant work.
* How to apply for this role:
If you’re passionate about helping businesses tell their stories and are driven to succeed, we invite you to apply. HeadStart is changing the game for PR and branded content, and we’re looking for team members excited to help us grow and exceed expectations at every opportunity.
If you’re looking for a traditional agency role with a large corporation, that’s not us. But if you’re ready to break the rules and make a real difference, let’s talk.
