BREAKING NEWS: New PR Hire Helps Reingold Dominate Social Impact Industry
Call us ambitious, but the headline above is pretty close to our vision of the ideal public relations associate. Reingold's media and public relations team has a record of national news placements and a roster of high-profile clients - and we're looking to deepen our bench. If you care about good journalism and good causes, this may be the job for you.
About the Role
Reingold is seeking a midlevel (3+ years' experience) PR professional and communications consultant who is eager to lead and develop media relations strategies for our clients in the public and private sectors.
Working with a supportive team of senior and peer mentors, you'll help determine when to move a message forward and when to pull it back from the public eye. In this business, the only thing more important than the right timing is the right message (but you knew that already).
Day-to-day activities include, but are not limited to:
Earned Media and Public Relations

- Developing creative solutions to client issues.
- Serving as the client point of contact or in a supporting role.
- Anticipating, identifying, and resolving problems that threaten timelines, budgets, or completion of key projects and client deliverables.
- Ushering all materials through internal Reingold processes (creative, editorial, events, social media, user experience, web, etc.).
- Bachelor's degree, preferably in communications, journalism, public relations, or a related field.
- Three to five years of experience working in one or more of the following or similar settings: communications agency, in-house PR department, newsroom, press office, or Capitol Hill staff office.
- Understanding of the news cycle and news hooks.
- Strong public speaking skills.
- Demonstrated ability to use metrics to inform strategy.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and deliverables.
