Intapp•Charlotte, NC

About The Position

The Media Relations Director is a senior strategic leader responsible for developing and executing a high-impact media program that elevates brand visibility and communicates our value proposition to target audiences. This role sits at the intersection of deep industry knowledge, compelling storytelling, and rigorous measurement - and requires a track record of building media programs that consistently move the needle. You will partner closely with leaders across the business - including marketing, product, sales, and the C-suite - to bring the best parts of the company to a broad and relevant audience across professional services verticals including accounting, consulting, investment banking, legal, and private capital. The Media Relations Director will own the full media program directly - spanning all industry verticals, executive communications, crisis response, and budget management - while partnering with marketing leaders across our industries to ensure PR is integrated into each vertical's broader marketing mix.

Proven track record of building programs that deliver quantifiable results - share of voice growth, coverage volume, and audience reach.
Experience managing PR agencies and budgets at scale.
Demonstrated experience partnering directly with C-suite executives and cross-functional senior stakeholders.
Ambition to build and lead a team: this role begins as an IC and grows into a people manager as the function scales.
