Title: Director of Public Relations
Type: Full-Time
Location: Portland, OR, United States
Job Description:
Client products are diverse in thermal imaging and other detection technologies, and so are the markets they sell to. Client is looking for a rock star Director of Public Relations who will design and implement an overall public relations strategy that will help make our client a household name.
The Director of PR is a new position that involves equal parts “big picture strategy” and “nuts and bolts” implementation. In other words, you will need to be a thought leader who can mind the details. And because it’s a new role, this could be your chance to build your dream job.
Client is a technology company, so you will ideally have a background working in the tech space. We don’t expect you to know thermal science up front, but you’ll need to be a quick study. Client will launch multiple products every year and are expanding their reach into consumer markets.
You’ll report to the Senior VP/Chief Marketing Officer and manage a mid-sized team.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and coordinate internal and external public relations strategies in support of six distinct business lines.
- Be the chief point of contact for media (Hint: your phone will be your constant companion).
- Find strategies for increasing exposure in mass media, trade magazines, and online channels.
- Work in concert with vertical marketing directors, executive staff, and product managers to ensure PR plans are accurate, on point, and adhere to client branding standards.
- Develop high impact media campaigns, especially in support of international product launches.
- Promote client as a thought leader in the detection and thermal imaging industries.
- Manage your department budget and work schedules.
- Oversee and champion client’s social media activities, collaborating with internal support staff.
Requested Skills:
- You are an experienced PR professional with strong knowledge and relationships with key media.
- You have demonstrated success building online and social media presence for a global company.
- You ideally have a combination of agency and in-house experience (but especially in-house).
- You have managed the PR campaigns of major product launches—from preparing media kits to orchestrating press events.
- You are a collaborative, team player with a high degree of initiative, drive, accountability, judgment, and flexibility.
- You are an outstanding writer, editor, and grammar cop (Knowledge of AP Style is a plus).
- You are undaunted at the thought of explaining thermal technology accurately and authoritatively on the spot without notes.
- You have demonstrated experience managing and inspiring small teams of employees who would say good things about you.
- You are eager to travel domestically and internationally–up to 50 percent of the time.
- You are adept at working with journalists, editors, and bloggers working on deadline.
Desired Experience:
- Prior experience in a PR role within a global company, preferably a high tech or manufacturing company that markets to consumers.
- Bachelor’s degree or higher.
- 10 - 15 years relevant experience, including experience in PR implementation and proven ability managing domestic and international projects.
- Proven effectiveness in developing and executing media plans.
- Excellent interpersonal skills - ability to work with executives across diverse groups and translate complex concepts into clear, concise and compelling messages for the media.
- Proficient in measuring and reporting on the progress of public relations initiatives against goals.
