Cotton & Company • Stuart, FL

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Most public relations jobs ask you to support an established process. This one asks you to help reinvent it. For more than 40 years, Cotton & Company has helped organizations build brands, launch communities and tell stories that influence markets. Today, we're creating a new approach to public relations and authority-building—one that combines exceptional editorial judgment, strategic distribution, emerging technology and authentic human relationships. We're looking for someone who wants to be part of the team shaping what comes next. This isn't a role where you'll be handed a list of media contacts and told to start pitching. You'll work alongside strategists, writers, marketers, developers and company leadership to help create a modern communications model designed for how information is discovered, evaluated and trusted today. Experience matters, but CURIOSITY matters more. We're looking for someone with natural curiosity, exceptional intelligence, strong writing instincts, outstanding organizational skills and the ambition to grow into a leadership role as this initiative expands.
