About this Role:

This is a senior role calling for strategic vision, tactical execution, thoughtful leadership of a team, and skilled upwards communication to senior executives.

The ideal candidate will be a seasoned communications leader who is energized by high-profile, high-stakes challenges. The candidate should be unflappable in the face of a crisis, have deep media relations experience, and show impeccable judgment while being comfortable with uncertainty.

• Partner with external agencies as well as internal stakeholders (including sales, product, and data science) to orchestrate effective, data-driven pitching strategies and PR campaigns
• Lead the team in driving a plan to generate favorable coverage of Pacaso through creative storytelling and evergreen product pitches

• Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to earn and retain credibility with senior internal audiences
• Self Starter + Executor: can design successful public relations campaigns at a local and national level, drawing from professional judgment and expertise in deciding how best to advance the company’s interests
• The right candidate will bring an innovative and pioneering approach to communications, vs plug-and-play / rinse-and-repeat approaches
• Excellent judgment and a strong point of view: this person will need to make time-sensitive decisions while balancing competing priorities.
• Comfort operating in uncertain environments and a well-calibrated appetite for risk are essential qualities to bring to this role
