Director of Public Relations permanent position at Portland OR
  • Full-time

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:

  1. Develop and coordinate internal and external public relations strategies in support of six distinct business lines.
  2. Be the chief point of contact for media (Hint: your phone will be your constant companion).
  3. Find strategies for increasing exposure in mass media, trade magazines, and online channels.
  4. 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.
  5. Develop high impact media campaigns, especially in support of international product launches.
  6. Promote client as a thought leader in the detection and thermal imaging industries.
  7. Manage your department budget and work schedules.
  8. Oversee and champion client’s social media activities, collaborating with internal support staff.

Requested Skills:

  1. You are an experienced PR professional with strong knowledge and relationships with key media.
  2. You have demonstrated success building online and social media presence for a global company.
  3. You ideally have a combination of agency and in-house experience (but especially in-house).
  4. You have managed the PR campaigns of major product launches—from preparing media kits to orchestrating press events.
  5. You are a collaborative, team player with a high degree of initiative, drive, accountability, judgment, and flexibility.
  6. You are an outstanding writer, editor, and grammar cop (Knowledge of AP Style is a plus).
  7. You are undaunted at the thought of explaining thermal technology accurately and authoritatively on the spot without notes.
  8. You have demonstrated experience managing and inspiring small teams of employees who would say good things about you.
  9. You are eager to travel domestically and internationally–up to 50 percent of the time.
  10. You are adept at working with journalists, editors, and bloggers working on deadline.

Desired Experience:

  1. Prior experience in a PR role within a global company, preferably a high tech or manufacturing company that markets to consumers.
  2. Bachelor’s degree or higher.
  3. 10 - 15 years relevant experience, including experience in PR implementation and proven ability managing domestic and international projects.
  4. Proven effectiveness in developing and executing media plans.
  5. Excellent interpersonal skills - ability to work with executives across diverse groups and translate complex concepts into clear, concise and compelling messages for the media.
  6. Proficient in measuring and reporting on the progress of public relations initiatives against goals.
