About the Public Relations Director Opportunity:
Public Relations Directors lead five client accounts and take complete responsibility for teaching teams the core fundamentals necessary to produce amazing public relations and content marketing programs, delight clients and grow individual and team capabilities. Public Relations Directors are responsible for creating and leading the story, strategy and execution of our work across accounts. They create the brand narratives, develop strategy, guide client counsel and oversee the day-to-day operations of account teams independently.

Public Relations Directors are seasoned experts who have a masterful command of content marketing and media relations as well as the ability to use holistic, integrated thinking to meet clients’ needs. As a leader, they know how to empower and motivate a team and they carve out the time required to truly develop talent. As a growing professional, Public Relations Directors aren’t satisfied with what’s been done before and constantly challenge themselves to invent what’s next. They thrive on creative collaboration and lead by example. Like their teammates, Public Relations Directors love what they do and strive to learn and grow every day.
