Media Strategist
Location: Wherever You Are
About the Role
The most important skill you bring to the table: converting ideas into coverage. We’re looking for a true-blue media relations pro that carves out time to develop quality angles and put them in front of the right reporters. You’re persistent, creative, connected. You’re a hit-maker.
Strategist is also the connective tissue of a client engagement. You own relationships, you’ll drive work across earned media as well as data, and content. And you know how to stitch it all together into something coherent that clients trust and internally folks high-five.
This is not an execution-only role. You’ll be expected to bring original thinking to the table: your own story angles, your own read on the data, your own instincts about what’s working and what isn’t. You’re comfortable in a pitch and equally comfortable in a spreadsheet. Soon, you’ll read GEO outputs and know what they mean for a client’s narrative. You treat every report as a strategy update, not a recap. Trust us, it’s fun.
You’ll work alongside a growing team where the org chart doesn’t gatekeep what people are allowed to build. We said it above and we mean it: everyone here is a maker.
The Work
What You’ll Do.
Drive earned media results through creative story development, smart pitching, and genuine media relationships
Translate Wayfinder and GEO data into plain-language strategy recommendations clients can act on (we’ll teach ya)
Participate on client calls, in building status recaps, and reporting — the beautiful basics
Interface with clients day to day, become the person they trust and call in a pinch or for a media relations gut-check
Write well and write often: pitches, bylines, briefing docs, media prep materials, etc
Contribute to execution of announcements, campaigns, and ongoing deliverables across account teams
Identify patterns in AI search data and connect them to PR and content strategy
Build tools, artifacts, and workflows that make the work faster and smarter, for your accounts and for the team. Again, we’ll teach you how.
Bring junior team members up. Share what you know, name what you see, and invest in building the kind of communicators this work requires
Help set the standard for how this team operates — the culture we build now is the one every future hire inherits
The Kit
What Strategists at Wild Signal Have.
4-6 years of experience in PR, communications, or a related field
A demonstrated track record of driving meaningful earned media results
Strong client management instincts: you anticipate what’s needed before it’s asked
Comfort with data — you don’t need to be a data scientist, but you should be able to read a report and know what it’s telling you
Genuine fluency with AI tools, particularly Claude — you use them daily, not occasionally
Exceptional writing, across formats and registers
Curiosity that goes beyond earned media: you’re interested in content, SEO, GEO, the whole ecosystem, and how it works together
A bias toward building — you see a gap and you close it, even if no one asked you to
For the Record
What This Role Isn’t.
A role where you execute someone else’s strategy without understanding it
A place where earned media is the ceiling — we work across the full intelligence layer
A company where hierarchy decides what you’re allowed to build or contribute
