Media Analyst

Founded in 2008, PublicRelay has a simple goal: to help PR and communications professionals understand how their work impacts business goals. We help large companies and federal agencies make sense of diverse and evolving media landscapes and understand the trends shaping their industries.

Our analytic reporting helps communications managers and senior executives develop sophisticated strategies for promoting their organizations and brands. Our teams assess traditional, social, and broadcast media from global sources to provide clients with a refined view of their most important coverage.

PublicRelay is looking for an enthusiastic and hard-working Media Analyst to join our cross-functional Customer Support team at our Waterford office! This role manages multiple accounts and daily deliverables that help our clients to identify pertinent trends in their media coverage. In addition to conducting analysis, Media Analysts also ensure data quality, lead account-specific trainings, and assist the Strategic Partnerships team on day-to-day client relations. This person should be a self-starter, enjoy a dynamic work environment, and thrive in high-pressure situations

Occasional flexibility with work hours is a key component of this role due to shifting client requests and account coverage needs.

Our analysts assess traditional, social, and broadcast media from all over the world to provide clients with a highly refined view of their most important coverage. The media intelligence that PublicRelay provides then allows our clients to develop sophisticated strategies for promoting their companies and brands.

While PublicRelay is headquartered just outside of Washington DC, this is a hybrid position for our Southeast Region Ireland office (Waterford)
