About The Position

Atom.com is on a mission to reimagine the future of naming. We've built a powerful domain marketplace and branding platform. But we’re not here to do more of the same—we’re building a platform from the ground up, powered by AI, brand-first thinking, and a deep understanding of what founders and domain investors actually need to power their business.

We’re looking for a Junior PR Specialist to support Atom’s media outreach and help execute press efforts under clear direction from Atom’s leadership and marketing team. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role ideal for a junior PR professional who has already contributed to securing real media coverage and wants to continue building experience at a growing tech company.

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable executing tasks with feedback and direction.
• Experience supporting PR for tech or startup companies is required.

Nice To Haves

• Interest in startups, branding, or founder-focused products.

• Execute Media Outreach: Support outbound pitching using provided angles, messaging, and guidance from leadership.
• Pitch & Follow Up: Send pitches, manage follow-ups, and respond to media inquiries in coordination with the team.
