About UPLVL Agency

UPLVL Agency is a boutique, women-led public relations firm exclusively representing purpose-driven founders and credentialed experts in health, wellness, lifestyle, workplace and finance — doctors, therapists, lawyers, and mission-driven entrepreneurs who are changing lives and need media exposure to make a bigger impact. We are fully remote and an all-female team. Founded by Kayley Hamilton, a two-time Emmy Award–winning journalist and former entertainment news reporter, UPLVL operates with high standards: strong judgment, fast execution, unique and powerful storytelling, clear communication, professionalism, and accountability for results. We've been featured in Forbes and Business Insider.

Our mission is to help purpose-driven experts make a big, beautiful, positive impact on the world by getting them in front of the audiences who need them most. We do that work guided by our values:

• Inspirational — we generate extraordinary results that elevate our clients and create a ripple effect of positive impact.
• Disciplined — we do what we say we'll do, every time.
• Accountable — we hold ourselves and our clients to our shared goals.
• Transparent — open, honest, clear communication and responsibility at every level.
• Aligned — intentional about who joins our team and the clients we bring onto our roster.
• Results-Oriented — every action is designed to move the needle.
• Intentional — purpose and precision behind every decision.
• Professional Integrity — the highest ethical standard, always.

If those values genuinely align with you, you'll fit right in.

The Role

This is a full-time Senior PR Account Manager role built for someone who wants to grow with the agency into greater leadership as we scale. You'll own a roster of client accounts end-to-end (strategy, pitching, media relationships, client communication, and results), while also stepping into a bigger-picture role: helping shape how we run campaigns, supporting and mentoring our contractor team, and providing leverage as the agency grows toward its next milestones. You'll report directly to agency leadership and work closely with our Operations Lead. You'll be trusted to run your accounts and make the right calls.

What You'll Do

• Own a portfolio of thought-leadership PR campaigns end-to-end — strategy, pitching, media relationships, client communication, and reporting
• Lead client onboarding conversations, extracting the angles, stories, and expertise that will resonate with media
• Treat every placement as a chance to get a life-changing expert in front of the people who need them most
• Build and execute six-month PR strategies that balance timely newsjacking opportunities with longer-lead placements
• Pitch consistently across podcasts, digital and print publications, and broadcast, using your own media relationships
• Spot and leverage emerging media platforms to keep clients ahead of the curve — landing them on up-and-coming podcasts, high-growth Substacks, popular Instagram series, and other newer channels before they become crowded
• Keep your finger on the pulse of the news cycle and media landscape daily, tracking journalist queries and moving fast to secure a media opportunity for a client
• Coach and prepare clients for interviews and media moments, giving clear context so they show up confidently and land the message
• Deliver polished monthly progress reports and present results directly to clients via video call
• Keep all campaigns organized, proactive, and moving forward in ClickUp, Slack, and Propel My PR
• Be willing to drop what you're doing when it matters — to save an interview, help a client, respond to a media contact, land a query, or send that email on a weekend
• Support and help train contractor Account Managers as the team grows, sharing best practices and helping raise the bar agency-wide
• Bring ideas to leadership on how to improve systems, workflows, and client results. You're not just executing, you're helping build

Who You Are

• You have 6+ years of direct PR experience (agency preferred), with a successful track record of securing coverage across top-tier, household name podcasts, digital/print, and broadcast
• You understand how the news cycle works, you're a master newsjacker, and you're an exceptional writer — pitches, bios, strategies, and client communications are all in your wheelhouse
• You are ambitious and driven — genuinely inspired by the doctors, therapists, lawyers, and purpose-driven experts we represent
• You thrive in a virtual workplace: self-driven, self-sufficient, and disciplined without needing anyone to check in on you
• You communicate clearly and confidently, both in writing and on video calls, and you show up professional, polished, and on time, every time
• You're organized, responsive, and consistent — clients and media contacts trust you because you follow through
• You're a team player who takes action for the good of the agency, a fast learner and quick thinker, and you bring optimism, collaboration, and energy to the team
• You're growth-minded and persistent — you find a way, think outside the box, don't play small, and do what it takes to secure the best opportunities for your clients
• You think for yourself and use AI as a tool, not a crutch — your decisions come from real industry experience and real depth of thought and creativity. That said, daily use of AI tools (Claude or similar) is a genuine plus; we embrace AI in our workflows for efficiency. But remembering that genuine human creativity is our superpower
• You're kind, understanding, and empathetic — but you're not afraid to have a tough conversation when it's needed
• You want to grow. You're excited by the idea of taking on more responsibility and leadership as this agency scales 
• You pay keen attention to detail. To demonstrate this, please share the name of your favorite podcast when you apply for this role
• Familiarity with Propel My PR, ClickUp, Claude, Slack, Qwoted, Google Workspace, and Canva is a bonus

What We Offer

• Full-time, fully remote position with a competitive salary
• A clear growth path — as the agency scales, this role is designed to grow into greater ownership and leadership
• A tight-knit, women-led team that is warm, kind, positive, ambitious, operating at a high level of standards, and is genuinely supportive
• Monday morning connection calls (including group meditation) and a culture that runs on kindness, optimism, and results
• A seat at the table in a boutique agency that's growing quickly and has the honor and responsibility of representing incredible, impressive and inspiring founders
• PTO that grows with you — start with 15 days in your first year, with additional days added as your tenure at the agency grows
• Major holiday closures: In addition to getting your birthday off, the agency observes all major U.S. holidays, plus a full company-wide closure the week between Christmas and New Year's (Dec 24–Jan 2) so the whole team truly unplugs
• Weekly co-working sessions with dedicated time to connect, work alongside, and stay in sync with the team
• Fully remote, for good. We're a remote-first team by design. No office, no commute, no "back to the office" someday — just work from wherever you do your best thinking
• Direct mentorship from a 2x Emmy-winning founder and former Hollywood reporter — learn the newsroom-level craft directly from Kayley as you grow into leadership
• A true culture of feedback with regular check-ins and reviews built around growth, where feedback flows in both directions and always comes from a place of support
