The Role

We’re looking for a PR Director with 7-9 years of experience who lives and breathes media relations. The Colab is known for consistent, top-tier coverage—and we want a creative, detail-obsessed operator who can set strategy, lead accounts, and keep the scoreboard full of meaningful hits. You’re equal parts architect and closer: building sharp narratives, coaching teams, and landing the stories that matter.

We’re fully remote, allergic to micromanagement, and serious about doing great work without burning people out.

What You’ll Be Doing

Set Strategy & Lead Accounts

Own multi-client strategy, oversee account teams, and steer day-to-day to results.

Story Development & Pitching

Craft differentiated narratives and pitches that consistently convert.

Media Relationships

Grow and leverage a strong network across tech, business, and vertical trades.

Executive Readines

Prep spokespeople for interviews, panels, and podcasts; host when helpful.

Editorial Excellence

Guide bylines/op-eds with our editorial team; ensure quality and placement

Awards & Speaking

Run smart award/speaking strategies from target lists to submissions and wins.

Measurement & Reporting

Monitor coverage, analyze impact, and deliver crisp, actionable recaps.

Team Leadership

Lead meetings, provide feedback, develop talent, and model high-bar craft.

Client Partnerships

Set expectations, solve escalations, run QBRs, and identify growth opportunities.

New Business

Contribute to proposals and pitch presentations; help win the right work.

Requirements (Non-Negotiables)

Media Relations Pro – A proven, current track record of consistent top-tier and trade coverage for B2B tech clients (we’ll ask for references and recent examples)

Pitching Mastery – You can originate, tailor, and close pitches across national business, tech, and vertical beats

Operational Discipline – Organized, deadline-reliable, metrics-minded; you run tight programs in a fast environment

Communication Style – Clear, direct, warm; you make clients and reporters’ lives easier, not harder

You'll Thrive Here If You

  • Love the chase and the craft (relationships, reporting, results)
  • Are equal parts strategic and hands-on
  • Think in headlines and proof points
  • Coach with empathy and high standards
  • Want autonomy, trust, and a team that has your back

Nice to Haves

  • Comfort with tools like MuckRack, Asana, Slack, Google Workspace, beehiiv
