Opportunities for advancement exist, and we are committed to helping all staff develop and grow.


ABOUT THE TECH TEAM

BerlinRosen’s burgeoning Technology and Innovation practice applies our advocacy-focused, mission driven approach to some of the biggest new ideas and technologies shaping the way we live, work, and learn. Our clients represent some of the biggest newsmakers defining the future of education, technology, finance  and urban innovation. Our clients include Barnard, General Assembly, Per Scholas, CornellTech, Samsung, Sidewalk Labs, Bloomberg Media, Intersection, and LinkNYC, to name a few.

With a team of over 30 communications professionals, we bring a unique campaign-style approach to strategic communications for clients in the technology sector, combining expert strategy and nimble execution with the creativity and speed of a startup.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

BerlinRosen is seeking an Account Executive to join our rapidly growing Tech PR team to work with account teams within our expanding Future of Work vertical. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with 2-3 years of communications experience who enjoys working with enterprise companies to develop thought leadership and drive day to day media coverage. This person will have the opportunity to work with major global brands defining the future of work - everything from how individuals can access the skills they need for a 21st century career to how employers are managing remote workers on an international scale.

In addition to being a savvy media strategist and active pitcher, this person will have the opportunity to work directly with senior staff to shape strategy and present large scale campaigns to clients. Our Account Executives provide support across 3-5 accounts and influence client communications that produce major wins.

Our clients work at the forefront of national conversations around the shifting nature of work, job accessibility, and diversity and access in education. The right candidate will be able to demonstrate an ability to effectively communicate around sensitive social issues.

  • Be an active participant on client calls: you will contribute to brainstorming, flagging concerns, and problem-solving during weekly check-ins with executive members of our client teams

  • Develop insights-driven media research and analysis that can be quickly used to inform key client strategies and presentations

Essential skills: 

  • At least 2-3 years of experience in communications: in-house for tech companies or nonprofits, media or journalism covering tech; PR agency experience preferred
  • Strong storytelling: must be able to provide examples of op-eds, pitches, and other materials that clearly demonstrate these skills
  • Versatile writer: comfortable and well versed in writing in both formal and informal, conversational tones  
  • Demonstrated savviness and creativity in media relations and pitching: knows how to identify new targets and thoughtful angles until the story is landed
  • Ability to communicate clearly, effectively and with confidence, both verbally and in writing, with varying levels of staff, clients, the media, and is comfortable thinking on their feet
  • Organized and used to a fast-paced environment: proven ability to handle multiple assignments at once, work quickly, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Proven ability to become a savvy and nimble student of the “news” and quickly identify new media opportunities and narratives to insert our clients’ voices into the news cycle
