Responsibilities

Deploy and own Opal's PR and media strategy end-to-end: the right stories, the right outlets, the right moments, across tech and lifestyle press, Substacks, podcasts, and wherever our audience actually pays attention
Seek out and build high-profile partnerships with media brands and organizations that align with Opal's mission
Work with Kenneth on media placement and speaking opportunities: knowing which conferences, panels, and formats actually move the needle
Develop a program of high-profile Opal ambassadors from our community: artists, athletes, creators, and builders who genuinely use and believe in the product
Track, amplify, and grow Opal's share of voice across media and social: owning our mentions and presence as a core metric
Work closely with our marketing team to surface and spread incredible stories from our community
Build the infrastructure we need: press kit, newsroom, response process, and a crisis playbook for when things get loud

Qualification

Required

3 to 5 years in PR, communications, or media relations: you've built something from early, you know how to move fast, and you have the results to show for it
You were early at a company people love. You know what it means to build a communications function when there's no template and high expectations
A builder, not a maintainer: you're energized by building up new things
You write with a real voice. You adapt to a brand's tone quickly and you'd never sign off something that reads like a press release
You follow the media landscape the way other people follow sports: you know who's writing what, which newsletters are growing, which podcasts are actually influential, and which stages are worth the flight
The attention economy genuinely bothers you, or genuinely fascinates you: either way, Opal's mission means something to you personally

Preferred

Existing relationships with US tech, wellness, or lifestyle press
Experience building ambassador or creator programs
Experience managing or briefing external PR agencies
Bilingual English/French
