Public Relations Associate- East Coast

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.

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).
