A minimum of 10 years of experience in PR or communications, with significant time spent in consumer tech and ideally some in-house experience. Proven ability to secure placements in top-tier publications such as The Verge, TechCrunch, WSJ, Bloomberg, FT, Wired, and The Information, differentiating your own contributions from inbound interest.

You possess a current and active network of reporters and podcast producers. Your writing is sharp, swift, and impactful, capable of producing op-eds, message frameworks, and statements under pressure with a distinct, non-corporate voice. Demonstrate keen judgment in identifying genuine story opportunities and comfort navigating diverse international markets.
