Part-Time PR Specialist / Consultant (Tech + Consumer Media) Company: FORONE Location: Remote (U.S.-based preferred, Bay Area candidates a plus) Type: Part-time (15–25 hrs/week)

About FORONE FORONE is a cross-border marketing and growth consultancy helping global companies enter and scale in the U.S. market. We specialize in go-to-market strategy, narrative building, and integrated campaigns across emerging industries including robotics, AI, and consumer tech.

Our clients range from early-stage startups to high-growth companies navigating U.S. expansion—from stealth-mode launches to major milestones such as CES.

Role Overview We are looking for a Part-Time PR Specialist / Consultant to lead media strategy and execution across both B2B tech and consumer-facing brands. This role is ideal for someone who understands how to translate complex products into compelling narratives, build strong relationships with media, and drive earned coverage that supports go-to-market goals.

You will work closely with our internal strategy team and founders to shape positioning, pitch stories, and secure high-impact media placements.

Key Responsibilities:

Media Strategy & Narrative Development

Develop PR strategies aligned with product stage (MVP to launch to scale, growth)

Craft compelling narratives for emerging tech (AI, robotics, SaaS) and consumer-facing products

Translate technical concepts into clear, media-friendly story angles

Media Relations & Outreach

Build and manage relationships with tech, business, and consumer/lifestyle media

Pitch and secure coverage across top-tier and niche publications

Coordinate interviews, embargoes, and media briefings

Campaign Execution

Lead PR efforts for product launches, fundraising announcements, and major events (e.g., CES)

Develop press materials including press releases, media kits, and talking points

Manage outreach pipeline and follow-ups

Media Intelligence & Reporting

Identify relevant journalists, editors, and creators

Monitor trends across tech and consumer media landscapes

Track performance metrics such as coverage quality and message pull-through

Provide insights and recommendations for optimization

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with strategy, content, and GTM teams

Support narrative testing and positioning refinement

Align PR efforts with broader marketing and growth objectives

Qualifications:

Required

5+ years of PR experience in tech and/or consumer media

Strong relationships with U.S.-based journalists and media outlets

Proven track record of securing meaningful media coverage

Experience working with startups or high-growth companies

Excellent storytelling and writing skills

Preferred

Experience supporting U.S. market entry for global companies

Familiarity with founder-led storytelling

Experience with B2B, robotics, or consumer tech narratives

Exposure to venture ecosystem and fundraising announcements

Experience with major industry events such as CES, SXSW, or TechCrunch Disrupt

What It’s Like Working with FORONE

We move fast and operate like a startup—things are often in motion, not fully defined

We value people who take ownership and drive things forward without waiting for instructions

We think strategically, but care deeply about execution and getting things done

We work closely as a team and with our clients—clear communication and collaboration matter

Compensation

Hourly: $75 – $100 per hour

Flexible based on experience, media relationships, and scope of work

Estimated commitment: 15–25 hours per week

We are open to structuring this as a monthly retainer depending on engagement scope.

How to Apply In addition to your resume, please include:

Your LinkedIn profile

2–3 examples of relevant media placements or PR case studies

A brief note outlining your approach to PR for early-stage or cross-border companies

Flexible work from home options available.
