Communications & PR Specialist

About Newsbound

This is a PR job, not a content job.

At Newsbound, the goal is to move communications people away from the manual mechanics of PR and closer to the work that actually needs them: the judgment calls, the stories and the relationships with journalists.

Newsbound is an AI PR platform that does more than help communications teams plan the work. It does the work for them. Newsbound continuously scans the news, understands a company and its industry, finds the stories worth telling, identifies the right journalists, podcasts and creators, and manages outreach.

That means you spend less time building lists and chasing follow-ups, and more time deciding what matters, shaping strong stories and figuring out where a company should show up in the conversation.

It also means this role only works if you already know how PR is done. Newsbound finds the stories and the journalists. You decide what’s actually worth sending, make it stronger, and own the relationships with clients and reporters. You can only judge AI-generated PR work if you’ve done the work yourself, so we’re looking for real media relations experience.

Content marketing, copywriting and social media backgrounds aren’t the right fit for this role.

What you'll do

• Own day-to-day communications across a portfolio of technology companies, and manage client relationships, priorities and expectations
• Use Newsbound to identify media opportunities, story angles and relevant journalists, and use your PR expertise to give the product team practical feedback on the platform, workflows and output
• Turn company news, market shifts and industry conversations into stories journalists will actually cover
• Build relationships with journalists and work with them directly across media opportunities
• Use results and media response to understand what’s working and where to push next
• Help shape the processes and workflows that define how Newsbound operates

What you bring

• MUST have minimum two years of experience in PR or media relations, ideally with technology companies.
• Coverage you’ve secured yourself, by pitching a journalist and getting the story placed
• Real client management experience
• Strong editorial judgment and an instinct for what makes something newsworthy
• Native-level written and spoken English
• Strong writing and editing skills
• The ability to quickly assess AI-generated work and know what’s strong, what’s weak and what needs changing
• Comfort working independently and making decisions without waiting for instructions
• Curiosity about AI and how it can fundamentally change the way communications work gets done
• A collaborative mindset and interest in helping build the product and company

The people joining Newsbound now are joining early enough to help define what the company becomes. As we grow, there will be opportunities to take on bigger responsibilities and eventually lead teams.
