PR Hacker (Full-Time)
Crowdbooster is looking for someone to join us full-time to work on a new project (not public on the website).
You must be:
- Experienced with public relations and looking to bring a fresh take to an industry that really needs it. You previously were a journalist or worked in PR, communications or media relations, whether in-house, as a consultant, or at an agency.
- A confident and fast writer/storyteller.
- A savvy communicator who can conduct 20-minute interviews with contacts from every industry and come away with a deep understanding of their story. You are comfortable working with clients regardless of whether they are developing consumer-facing mobile apps, selling enterprise software or conducting biotech research.
- A voracious consumer of media. You naturally know what reporters look for in stories and which current events a company can take advantage of (see this: https://medium.com/backchannel/how-the-tech-press-forces-a-n...).
- Creative enough to come up with surprising angles to get a client media coverage.
- An organized and systematic thinker. You will define and drive our product and technology development as you find the bottlenecks and breaking points in the process.
- Adaptable and forward-thinking because what you do at the company now will be very different three months from now. - - You must be comfortable with the ground shifting underneath you.
- Someone who enjoys fighting for the little guys.
