Strauss Media Strategies is looking for a senior media relations professional to join growing team of experts. The individual will work with team members across the country on projects ranging from tech to environmental to book authors to automotive and beyond. Our clients range from independent book authors to global technology firms, from small non-profits to US government agencies. The successful candidate will be tasked with counseling clients on developing winning broadcast strategies, creating a path forward, pitching journalists, and tracking results.

Our firm brings over a quarter-century of experience as a leading public relations and strategy firm specializing in broadcast media relations. Working on behalf of top-tier clients, we bring a solid team of professionals to the table to deliver on industry leading results. We provide subsidized health insurance, a profit-sharing plan for staff retained over a year, vacation time and fun holiday parties.

The ideal candidate will come with either network-level broadcast experience or significant experience pitching and working with producers, bookers and reporters on a national level. Relationships with major broadcast, cable, and radio networks are key, and if you can showcase your ability to work with high level journalists, you will be at the top of the list here.

A superior comfort level on the phone is critical, as you will be working with team members in various locations, as well as with clients and members of the media across the country. Experience with general audio and video editing as well as with the Adobe and Microsoft Office Suites of software is appreciated. Some travel may be required - maybe 5% depending on client/project needs. Spanish language skills are a huge plus.

Ideally based in the Washington, DC area, we will also consider quality candidates in any part of the country. You should be a self-starter, adaptable, friendly and a problem solver.
