We want someone who wishes to grasp the fundamentals of our business, get under the skin of technology, and understand what it means to be progressive through earned media relations. You are detail-obsessed and a team player with a creative spark for providing new ideas and taking on new tasks. A genuine interest in the tech sector is non-negotiable.

Proactivity is key! The right candidate constantly suggests, pitches in, and secures media opportunities for our clients. This is perhaps the most important aspect of determining success in this role!
