About The Position
Life360 is seeking a PR professional with a data journalism mindset to leverage the company's internal data for creating unique, attention-grabbing insights. As the Data PR Manager, you will be responsible for identifying trends that are culturally relevant and surprising, crafting stories that shape the brand narrative, and positioning the Life360 ecosystem as a reflection of modern family dynamics. This individual contributor role operates at the intersection of communications, analytics, and culture, requiring strong editorial instincts and the ability to translate business and product insights into narratives that support the company's strategy. You will own the data's role in the communications strategy, developing a repeatable approach to delivering stories that drive consistent coverage and impact. The US-based salary range for this position is $166,500 to $195,000, with the final salary depending on factors like geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

Requirements
- 8+ years of PR experience, with a strong track record of placing stories in top-tier consumer or national media.
- Proven experience building data-driven PR campaigns — you've turned a dataset into a headline before, and you know how to do it again.
- A nose for a story. You can look at a table of numbers and immediately know whether there's something there.
- Strong instincts around cultural trends and social media — you're chronically online in the best possible way.
- Excellent writing skills. You write pitches that actually get opened, and press releases that don't read like press releases.
- Comfort working with data and analytics tools. You don't need to be a data scientist, but you should be able to hold your own in a conversation with one.
- A collaborative spirit. You work well with data, product, and marketing teams to get the story right before it goes out.
