The Role:
Strategic Account Leadership: Lead a diverse roster of accounts across tech policy with total autonomy, ensuring corporate reputation efforts, regulatory communications, policy advocacy, and executive thought leadership programs are executed flawlessly.
Integrated Narrative Development: Architect 360-degree strategies that translate complex technologies and policy initiatives into compelling narratives across traditional media, digital platforms, and policy forums.
Proactive Client Counsel: Serve as a daily strategic partner for clients, providing unprompted fresh ideas and navigating stressful or complex situations with thoughtful, calm counsel.
Media Mastery: Leverage your extensive network of media contacts at outlets like TechCrunch, WIRED, Forbes, and CNBC to secure impactful placements that influence the bottom line. You are a strategist who still pitches and loves the win.
Content Excellence: Produce sharp, persuasive materials—from AI governance positioning and complex messaging frameworks to compelling pitch ideas.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with our internal experts in social media, brand integration, and design to deliver holistic campaigns that move at the speed of culture.
Mentorship & Team Coaching: Motivate and coach junior staff, providing the consistent feedback and guidance necessary to drive efficiency and develop the agency’s future leaders.

The Role:
The Tech & AI Policy Strategist: 10+ years of PR and communications experience with a deep understanding of AI developments, regulatory landscapes, tech policy, and the VC ecosystem.
The Nuanced Leader: You possess exceptional situational awareness and strong EQ. You have the executive presence to command a high-stakes meeting, but the humility and judgment to take a step back and empower your team or client to take the lead when necessary.
An Integrated Thinker: You understand policy nuances and know how to humanize complex topics for broader audiences. You’re also plugged into real-time conversation on platforms like X and quick to connect the dots between what’s trending and what it means for a client’s business.
A Skilled & Organized Project Manager: You excel at managing the backend of accounts—from results reporting and budget trackers to complex multi-project timelines—with meticulous detail.
The Player-Coach: You are as comfortable leading a senior-level brainstorm as you are rolling up your sleeves to staff a press event or finalize a media alert.
The High-Performer: You take pride in over-delivering and have an innate curiosity that drives you to explore new industries and creative concepts.
