Qualification
Required
You've worked at a B2B PR agency before. Ideally one that served venture-backed tech companies. You know what a Series B announcement looks like, what enterprise software journalists care about, how to pitch a funding round that isn't huge
You can lead a client call. Not 'participate in' or 'take notes'—lead. You can manage a frustrated client. You can push back when their idea won't work. You can keep a meeting on track and leave with clear next steps
You're proactive by default. You see a slow news week and you're already thinking about what byline to pitch. You notice an award deadline two months out and you're building the submission. You don't wait for someone to tell you
You're good at the actual craft. You can write a pitch that gets opened. You know how to research a journalist. You understand why a story matters to a specific beat. You've landed coverage you're proud of
Your judgment is solid. When you send me a briefing doc or a pitch draft, it's good. It doesn't need to be rewritten. You know what 'good' looks like and you don't need someone checking your work constantly
You want this structure. This is a contract role, 25-30 hours/week, fully remote. We want someone whose primary professional commitment is Salient—not a consultant juggling five clients. If you're looking for meaningful work with real autonomy at sustainable hours, that's what this is
