Public Relations Manager, MarComm

Endeavor•New York, NY

4d•$100,000 - $110,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for a PR Manager based in NYC to help build the reputation of a mission-driven organization operating at global scale and to help shift how entrepreneurship is covered and understood. You’ll drive brand reputation across business, tech, and entrepreneurship media – sustaining relationships with external stakeholders, especially media, to secure meaningful media opportunities (feature articles, bylines, podcast and speaking opportunities) in global publications with strong visibility in NYC and San Francisco, while supporting key hubs like London, the UAE, and Singapore. Executive support is core to the role. Some days, you’ll brief our CEO ahead of a trip to Singapore for local interviews. Other days, you’ll lead coverage around a community gathering in San Francisco or turn our annual top-performers announcement into a story that resonates with U.S. journalists. You’ll collaborate with our editorial, executive, and global hub teams, working alongside our Reputation & Growth Operating Partner and turning what we see on the ground into stories about entrepreneurs building outside the U.S. and China. Success means turning Endeavor into the go-to source for global entrepreneurship - measured by quality of coverage and frequency of brand and executive visibility in priority outlets.
