PR Team Members

Job description

OPPORTUNITY

We're talking with candidates with at least one year of PR experience, at all levels. Castle's hiring approach is "people first:" we focus on skills, a passion for PR, innate curiosity and growth potential. We look at what you bring to the table, rather than focusing on a cookie cutter job posting. We focus on people's future potential and not their past experience.

US

Celebrating our 25th anniversary, Castle is a certified women-owned business, excited about our growth (our PR team has doubled in the past year) and award-winning recognition by PR News and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. Our collaborative team, driven by our scrappy attitude, brings ideas and energy to our clients, who are social innovators in diversity and inclusion, corporate leaders, healthcare heroes, beloved retail brands, nonprofit champions and startup visionaries.

We seek additional colleagues who care about our world (business, politics, news, causes, pop culture) and are: relationship driven; intellectually curious and entrepreneurial in spirit; enthusiastic about PR, their clients and their work; superior writers; fascinated by the ways social, digital and video are propelling the future of PR.

Castle is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, in our company, in our community and through the clients and organizations with which we partner. Please read more about our commitment to equity on our website.

We're dedicated corporate citizens and are proud to be actively involved with many important nonprofits. (Learn more about our culture on our Instagram.)

Castle team members benefit from a flexible work schedule (two days in office, three remote) and "All Season Fridays," where every employee has alternate Fridays off; 401k with match; health and dental insurance; and much more. You'll work with smart, kind, funny people who care about their work and each other, with a mutual commitment to an inclusive workplace and to having fun while delivering amazing work.

YOU

All team members work directly with, and learn from, senior leaders in a truly collaborative culture. Managers develop, lead and mentor talented teams. Everyone is encouraged to spread their entrepreneurial wings, freely sharing best practices and ideas that fuel our ability to be even better each day. New team members will help drive our momentum by delivering outstanding client results and service, while demonstrating our culture and values.

OUR ROLE

• Build relationships with clients and media
• Create media and marketing content
• Contribute to PR strategy and ideas
• Play an active role on a Castle committee (DEI, wellness, website, corporate social responsibility, and more)
• Attend in-person meetings with clients and represent clients at Castle at business/community events
