Responsibilities

- Monthly reporting: placements secured, impressions/UVM, sentiment, share of voice vs. competitors

- Reporting on misses, not just wins. Pitches sent, response rate, reasons for passes
- Package every placement for reuse: pull quote, logo asset, and link delivered to the content team within 48 hours for site press bar, paid whitelisting, and creator briefs
Skills
- 3–5+ years consumer PR with a proven earned-media portfolio (not just agency management), ideally in wellness/beauty/CPG or supplements
