If you love translating complex ideas into clear, compelling stories — and you’re as comfortable crafting a pitch as you are managing clients — we want to hear from you.

The ideal candidate should demonstrate:

• Deep understanding of public relations and B2B marketing, including thought leadership, content marketing and social media. Familiarity with SEO and AI is a plus
• Strong writing and editing skills
• Drive, ambition and a desire to contribute to the growth of the agency
• Poise and presentation skills necessary to work with a wide range of senior-level clients and subject-matter experts, including C-level executives, corporate lawyers, architects, engineers and more
• A high degree of empathy, strong emotional intelligence and a kind, generous demeanor when working with clients, vendors, partners and team members of all levels
• A proactive work approach that always anticipates “what's next?” for their clients, as well as a drive to constantly improve
• The ability to travel to client offices occasionally per client requests (all travel is reimbursed and infrequent)
• An enthusiasm to work from a home office while doing strategic, high-impact marketing and public relations work for some of the nation’s leading law firms, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) firms and B2B companies

As a member of the Reputation Ink team, on any given day, you will:

• Lead and execute strategic marketing and public relations initiatives that enhance our clients’ brand image, reputation and overall presence in their respective markets
• Oversee all integrated marketing and PR activities, delegating tasks, managing deadlines, developing and implementing processes and procedures, and setting and achieving goals and KPIs
• Draft and edit content, including client-ready documents, strategies and other communications, including pitches, bylined articles, blogs, bios, press materials and meeting reports
• Proactively pitch news stories and manage media inquiries, leveraging your knowledge of the media landscape to position clients effectively
• Maintain a pulse on current marketing and PR trends, industry-specific publications and emerging outlets to maximize coverage for our clients
• Oversee client reporting
• Manage and develop account team members
• Set a standard for excellence and ensure team members have the resources needed to meet that standard

• Commit to being actively involved in the team’s career growth, advocating for their success within the company

As a “virtual” agency, all Rep Ink team members work from home offices spread across the United States and Canada, serving clients across the U.S. We were remote before COVID-19, and we’ll never ask you to return to an office. Working remotely is part of our culture, and we value the work-life balance this structure provides.

In addition to our work-from-home lifestyle, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including:

• Two weeks of paid vacation in the first year, three weeks in years two through four, and four weeks after year five
• 11 days of recognized public holidays
• Bonus week off between Christmas and New Year’s (entire company is off)
• Health, dental, disability and life insurance
• 401(k) company match (beginning after one year of employment)

Due to the high degree of emphasis we place on strong writing skills, we ask candidates who we believe are a strong fit to complete two to three paid freelance writing assignments as part of the interview process.

Account Directors require 5-10 years of agency or professional services firm experience, and the salary range for the role is $100,000 to $130,000 (individual salary is dependent on a wide range of factors).

To apply, please send a cover letter and resume to [email protected]. No phone calls please.
