About The Position

Brick is transforming how people interact with technology—helping people minimize distractions, reclaim focus, and live more intentionally. Our physical device and companion app turn smartphones from sources of distraction into tools for presence and productivity. We’re on a mission to help people take back control of their time and attention so they can focus on what matters most—and we’re building a team of thoughtful, driven people to make that happen. We're hiring a Senior Manager, Public Relations to help lead how Brick shows up in the press, in culture, and through our spokespeople. You'll drive day-to-day communications strategy and execution — from the always-on press engine to the comms plan behind every new product launch — and play a central role in growing Brick into the defining name in digital wellness. You'll report to the Head of Brand.

Requirements

Owned communications strategy in-house or at an agency, ideally for a consumer or DTC brand, and can point to press, cultural, or category wins you drove.
Coached founders or executives for press and public moments, and know how to protect their time while making the most of it.
Can spot the cultural moment or narrative that makes a brand the category-defining name, not just another player in the space.
Know how to direct and get the best out of an external PR team, not just receive updates from one.
Move seamlessly between strategy and execution, thrive in ambiguity, and bring the energy that makes the people around you better.
DTC or consumer brand background strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

Drive day-to-day communications strategy for Brick, from always-on press and thought leadership to reactive comms, in partnership with the Head of Brand.
Help set the goals, pillars, and voice that guide every story we tell, and track the KPIs behind it — coverage volume, reach, share of voice, and sentiment.
Support Brick's spokespeople program, including helping build and protect our founders' public presence and identifying additional internal spokespeople as the company scales.
Help drive the creative communications strategies that secure Brick as the leading brand in its space, through cultural moments, thought leadership, and storytelling.
Lead day-to-day communications execution for new product launches and brand expansion — new markets, channels, and partnerships — partnering with Product Marketing and Brand so every launch has a press moment worthy of it.
