• Self-motivated, driven, and excited by the potential to own what you do


• Highly-organized, with innate attention to detail and a tidy approach to communications


• A natural connector who brings a strong network of national, tech, and/or cannabis press contacts


• A strong communications generalist who can switch between building strategy to executing efficiently - from editing to writing, and project managing to pitching

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree


• 8+ years of B2B tech PR experience, ideally with both in-house and agency experience


• A robust set of relationships with national, tech, and/or cannabis media


• Proven experience building, delivering, and measuring a broad portfolio of PR and Comms programs
