An exceptional opportunity for a mid-level PR Manager to shape the future of PR & Communications in Vancouver.
Startups live or die by how they're perceived before the product even ships, and that's exactly the gap this role fills.
This is a fast-growing technology startup building its reputation from the ground up, and it needs a PR Manager who can turn a small team's work into a story people actually notice.
The PR & Communications function here isn't an afterthought bolted onto marketing.
It's central to how the business grows.
Here's what you'll be doing: Building and running press outreach campaigns that get the company covered in the outlets that matter to its industry Writing press releases, briefing documents and founder talking points that actually sound like a person wrote them Managing relationships with journalists, editors and industry commentators across Vancouver and beyond Coordinating crisis communications when things go sideways, because at a startup, they occasionally will Tracking coverage and sentiment, then reporting back on what's working and what isn't Partnering with the founders and product team to spot stories worth telling before a competitor tells them first Here are the skills you'll need: Three to five years' experience in PR, ideally with some exposure to startup or tech environments Sharp writing skills.
You should be able to draft a press release in an hour, not a day Confidence pitching journalists directly and handling the inevitable no's without losing momentum A working knowledge of media monitoring tools and basic reporting The judgement to know when a story needs a founder's voice and when it needs yours Comfort working without a big team behind you.
You'll wear more than one hat here Key perks and benefits: Salary of C$40,000 to C$51,000, depending on experience Equity in the business, so you share in what you help build Hybrid working from Vancouver, with flexible hours around it A genuine learning and development budget, not just a line in the handbook A flat structure where your ideas reach the founders directly, no layers in between Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
Vancouver's startup scene has grown a lot in the past few years, and the companies inside it need people who can tell their story properly.
PR & Communications rewards people who are quick on their feet and genuinely curious about what makes a story land.
Do this well as a PR Manager and the next step, whether that's a bigger team or a Head of Comms title, tends to follow fairly quickly.
