Public Relations (National) Strategist

Location: Must currently reside in either Atlanta or San Francisco metropolitan areas; relocation is not being considered for this role.

WHO WE ARE

Mixte is a community-driven communications agency whose only goal is justice, health and freedom for all people. We partner with bold leaders—nonprofits, advocacy groups and mission-driven organizations—who challenge the status quo and fight for justice. We're a fully remote and diverse team (see our employee video). We especially welcome applicants who bring lived experience in the communities we fight alongside.

WHERE WE'RE HIRING & WHY

While this is a remote role, we are only hiring candidates currently based in Atlanta, San Francisco or nearby communities. We have regional teams located in these hubs and want to expand our team with a national public relations strategist.

A LITTLE ABOUT YOU

You are a seasoned PR pro with deep roots in multicultural media and can walk in the door with national relationships and outlets we don't have. You have a proven ability to place clients in national media — not just local or regional and ready to infuse creativity and fun into Mixte's PR. 

COMPENSATION & CULTURE

• $85,000 salary—flat rate, no negotiation theater
• Four-day work week + paid winter break (Dec. 25 through New Year's)
• Full benefits package — details at gomixte.com/about-us/careers
• 23-step proprietary professional development program

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Public Relations Strategist, you'll drive big, creative ideas for our clients and execute them with precision. You'll own media relations from strategy through placement—building lists, writing pitches, drafting press releases, op-eds, newsletters, and social content—while tracking coverage and reporting on what the data means. You'll report to a Director of Communications and collaborate daily with fellow Strategists.

• Define and own measurement models; translate analytics into action

Team & Business Growth

• Collaborate across strategists to ensure initiatives work together toward client goals
• Cultivate and earn new business for the company — including outreach, proposals, and hitting revenue goals shared across the strategist team.

REQUIREMENTS

• 5+ years of PR experience, with a heavy emphasis on media relations-agency or in-house
• Located in Atlanta or San Francisco Bay Area 
• Proven track record earning stories in national and multicultural media for social justice causes
