Senior Public Relations Manager
About the role
New Ground is looking for a Senior PR Manager to lead a dedicated portfolio of fashion, beauty and lifestyle PR accounts, while bringing earned strategy to our wider client roster. We're a bi-coastal marketing studio helping ambitious global brands grow in the US. As the business gets bigger and busier, PR now needs a dedicated senior lead.
LA-based preferred, but we're open to New York for the right candidate.
The role
This is a senior, hands-on player-coach role for a media hound who loves the pitch and the placement. You'll be close to the work every day, from editor relationships to client strategy, and as the offering grows, you'll build and lead the team underneath you, with a clear path to Head of PR.
What you'll do
- Lead PR accounts end to end, with PR strategy tied to each brand's commercial goals
- Land top-tier press across digital, print, broadcast and podcasts, including affiliate-driven shopping coverage
- Build founder narratives and secure profiles, features and speaking moments
- Run celebrity, stylist and VIP programs, from organic placements and gifting through to talent agreements
- Partner with our influencer team on creator seeding, editor events and tastemaker moments
- Win new business through your network, and shape how PR is scoped, delivered and reported at New Ground
What you bring
- 8+ years in fashion, beauty, lifestyle or luxury PR, with senior agency client leadership
- Trusted relationships with top-tier LA and NY media you can bring with you
- A strong stylist, talent and VIP network, with a track record of organic celebrity placements
- A history of winning new business through your own reputation
- A strategic mind and sharp writing, plus the confidence to counsel founders directly
- Boutique agency energy: entrepreneurial, hands-on and happy to wear multiple hats. LA-based preferred, but we're open to New York for the right candidate.
What we offer
- Competitive base salary, plus a generous new business commission
- Potential equity for long-term team members
- A clear path to PR Director / Head of PR
- Health and dental, 401(k) match and 4 weeks paid time off
