Senior PR Expert - Publicist

The KA Consulting Group

About the job

We are looking for a Senior PR Expert to collaborate with our team on a freelance or project-based basis.

About us

The KA Consulting Group supports CEOs, founders, and senior executives with strategic communications, reputation building, executive visibility, and PR. We work closely with leaders to strengthen their public presence through earned media, podcasts, awards, speaking opportunities, and other high-value visibility opportunities.

What we’re looking for
  • 5+ years of public relations experience
  • Strong background in executive PR, media relations, and visibility strategy
  • A proven track record of securing earned media placements for executives, founders, or brands across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 U.S.-based publications
  • Demonstrated experience securing podcast interviews and guest appearances, particularly for senior executives
  • Demonstrated experience identifying and securing relevant industry awards, executive recognition opportunities, company awards, and corporate rankings
  • Experience securing speaking opportunities, panels, conference participation, and other executive visibility opportunities
  • Strong media relationships and the ability to identify the right journalists, editors, podcast hosts, award programs, and opportunities for each client
  • Experience across industries such as life sciences, pharmaceuticals, technology, IT services, leadership, marketing, professional services, and corporate recognition
  • Ability to develop strong story angles and pitches that support long-term executive reputation and positioning
  • Strong understanding of what makes an executive or company credible and relevant to media rather than relying on mass outreach

A strong track record is important

We are specifically looking for someone who can demonstrate results. Candidates should be prepared to share examples of:

  • Media placements they directly secured
  • Podcasts or interviews they successfully booked
  • Awards or recognitions they helped clients win or secure
  • Speaking or panel opportunities they generated
  • Relevant case studies showing their outreach strategy and results

Please be clear about your individual role in securing these opportunities.

Role details
  • Fully remote
  • Freelance or project-based work
  • Comfortable independently researching opportunities, developing media lists, writing pitches, and executing outreach
  • Comfortable managing multiple outreach campaigns, deadlines, and follow-ups
  • Able to track outreach volume, responses, opportunities, submissions, and confirmed placements
  • Highly results-driven, with a focus on measurable earned media and visibility outcomes
  • Comfortable working toward defined outreach and placement goals
  • Able to provide clear weekly email updates on outreach, responses, opportunities, and next steps
  • Able to work independently while collaborating closely with a senior team
  • Comfortable setting realistic expectations around PR timelines and outcomes
  • Open to flexible availability depending on project needs

We’d love to learn more about
  • The industries where you have the strongest PR experience
  • Examples of publications where you have personally secured coverage
  • Podcasts where you have successfully booked clients or executives
  • Awards or corporate recognition programs where you have successfully secured wins, finalist placements, or nominations
  • Speaking engagements or panel opportunities you have secured
  • Your approach to executive media outreach and relationship building
  • Your typical rate range for executive PR and media outreach projects
  • Any portfolio, placement list, case studies, or client examples you can share



If this sounds like a fit, please send a short introduction, your email, and examples of results you have personally secured. We may invite selected candidates to a brief conversation to explore potential collaboration.
