Public Relations Associate- East Coast

Remote US

Reports to: Senior Director, Communications and Public Relations

Location: Remote US

Compensation Range: $120,000 to $130,000 base plus bonus and equity

 

What We Do:

Huntress is a fully remote, global team of passionate experts and ethical badasses on a mission to break down the barriers to cybersecurity. Whether creating purpose-built security solutions, hunting down hackers, or impacting our community, our people go above and beyond to change the security game and make a real difference.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress protects all businesses—not just the 1%—with enterprise-grade, fully owned, and managed cybersecurity products at the price of an affordable SaaS application. The Huntress difference is our One Team advantage: our technology is designed with our industry-defining Security Operations Center (SOC) in mind and is never separated from our service.

We protect 4M+ endpoints and 7M+ identities worldwide, elevating underresourced IT teams with protection that works as hard as they do. As long as hackers keep hacking, Huntress keeps hunting.

What You’ll Do: 

We're seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Public Relations Associate to join our growing PR and communications team. You will take ownership of three core programs that elevate our brand visibility and industry influence: the speaking program, the awards program, and PR reporting.

Success demands sharp writing skills, a proactive mindset, and meticulous attention to detail.

The ideal candidate is a natural storyteller with extraordinary organizational skills and a passion for creative communication. You'll partner closely with teams across the organization, including Product Marketing, Brand, People, and Security, making the ability to align diverse stakeholders and keep complex projects on track absolutely critical.

Communications Reporting & Operations:

  • Produce and present all regular communications reports (monthly summaries, QBRs, launch recaps) for executive and internal teams.
  • Manage the company's media database (MuckRack) for Share of Voice tracking, coverage reporting, and ensuring the Huntress.com "Newsroom" is consistently updated.

Paid Media & Project Coordination:

  • Provide operational support for select paid media programs, focusing on managing deliverables, insertion orders, and campaign timelines for flawless execution.
  • Lead the fulfillment of creative requests (graphics, copy, design assets) through the internal project management system, ensuring timely completion of all deliverables.

What You Bring To The Team:  

  • 2+ years of experience in communications, public relations, (cybersecurity or B2B tech experience preferred).
  • Minimum 2 years of experience handling speaking/awards programs.
  • Extraordinary organizational skills and attention to detail; able to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to evaluate PR metrics and translate them into actionable insights for executive stakeholders.
  • Experience working with PR agencies and cross-functional internal teams.
  • Familiarity with tools such as Monday.com, Muck Rack, and Google Workspace.
  • A collaborative spirit with the ability to work autonomously and proactively.
  • Passion for cybersecurity, storytelling, and amplifying a mission-driven brand.

What We Offer: 

  • 100% remote work environment - since our founding in 2015
  • Generous paid time off policy, including vacation, sick time, and paid holidays

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
