Small Girls PR

Small Girls PR is looking for a Vice President to manage overarching strategy and client relationships, concept novel initiatives that drive press headlines, manage deliverables for integrated campaigns, as well as oversee a team of talented junior staffers. This role will work with a wide range of creative and innovative brands mainly within the consumer tech and lifestyle spaces including an innovative, well known AI client.

There is no one-size-fits-all for an SGPR client which means your career will be further enriched with meaningful and diversified experience. We've handled mergers for GE, announced Esusu as one of the first Black-owned tech unicorns, launched paranormal investigations with Ring doorbells, created a closet calculator to see how recycled clothing impacts the environment with thredUP, and hired the Green M&M as Zappos’ newest “shoefluencer” when the spokescandy was put on hiatus due to her boots controversy. This team specifically developed a "Culture Cocktail" campaign pairing Taylor Swift headlines with Taskrabbit booking data (740M+ impressions across TODAY, WSJ, Axios) and created a "Mental Load Calculator" study positioning Skylight as a family management solution during back-to-school season (1B+ impressions across Forbes, WSJ, Psychology Today).

Note: This role is based in our LA office on a hybrid schedule (two days weekly in-office).

How you’ll make an impact:

• Drive long-term strategy and create tentpole campaigns for a range of clients in the consumer space.
• Build strong rapport with client and interagency partners, operating as a lead contact
• You’ll be a key part of new business, both in voicing the brands you are passionate about taking on, as well as developing the proposals and concepts that win the hearts and minds of new partners
• You will have a finger on the pulse of the industry, ensuring we are creatively one-upping the competition with original campaign ideas, ownable moment ideation, and strategic insights
• Establish and maintain warm relationships with consumer media in print, digital, podcast, and broadcast, leading to regular placements as well as feature stories.
• Originate out-of-the-box ideas that strengthen client’s marketplace positioning
• Furnish insights that capture both quantitative and qualitative results, acknowledging major wins, lessons learned, and moments of impact delivered by the team
• Manage and mentor our strong and capable junior team, helping them flourish into future leaders
• Proactively identify and integrate emerging media channels, AI advancements, and industry trends

Why we’ll love you:

• You have 10-13+ years of experience in media relations, communications, or public relations, with a track record of client leadership and warm, trusted reporter relationships
• You’re tapped into trends, communities, and cultural moments before they hit the mainstream, turning emerging concepts into smart, timely campaign ideas
• You’ve personally dreamed up stunts or out-of-the-box PR ideas that others hadn’t yet considered
• You’re known as a media relations savant, armed with a thick Rolodex and eager to pass on your knack for networking to others
• You’re organizationally strong — you plan, delegate, and prioritize effectively to move work forward
• You’re scrappy and nimble, thriving in fast-moving environments with shifting priorities
• You instinctively know how to make a story sing — whether for a journalist, influencer, or a broader audience — by tapping into what makes something shareworthy
• You’re a client whisperer, earning and keeping client trust through strategic counsel and steady partnership
• You’ve led PR strategies that moved the needle — driving headline-worthy coverage while advancing the brand’s mission and vision

• Comprehensive Benefits: A 100% employer-covered medical plan, 401k match up to 4%, dental, vision, and more
• Innovation Leadership: Our agency was amongst the first to offer client brand campaigns on TikTok (back when it was still called Musical.ly), has been recognized for pioneering unique HR policies live on The Today Show, and our AI Leadership committee has been training our employees at the intersection of PR and AI for over two years (not two months!)
• Vibrant Culture: Employee-led committees shape company policy and organize team celebrations from book clubs to outings
