Job Description

About Reingold

Reingold is a full-service marketing and creative firm in Alexandria, VA. For more than 40 years, we've been driven by a simple mission: to help organizations -- whether in the government, nonprofit, or business sector -- as they strive to make the world a better place. We hire top-notch talent to develop and launch compelling, inventive communications campaigns, leveraging the latest technology and digital media strategies that enable our clients to meet their audiences where they are.

We're proud to say we've built a team of curious, passionate pros -- from marketers and tech wizards to designers and strategists -- who love what they do and bring their A-game every day. We take our work seriously, not ourselves. We believe great ideas come from collaboration, humor, and a little bit of fun along the way. 

When you work at Reingold, you get more than a job, you get a community. We offer competitive salaries, a comprehensive benefits package, a dynamic hybrid work environment, a vibrant workplace and growth opportunities in a variety of specialty areas. That means when we find great people (and they find us), they stick around for the long term. 

That's where you come in.  We're looking for a PR professional and communications leader to lead and develop media relations strategies for our clients in the public and private sectors. Working with a close-knit, supportive team of senior and peer colleagues, you'll help determine when to move a message forward. In this business, the only thing more important than the right timing is the right message (but you knew that already). 

This position is based in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area and requires the ability to work on-site at our clent's office in Morrisville, NC, at least 4 days per week. Please note this role is contingent on contract award.

  • PR planning and execution with diverse teams to ensure message alignment and policy accuracy. 
  • Developing media materials including press releases, advisories, op-eds, media kits, talking points, and short form video prompts (transportation experience preferred). 
  • Managing media relationships and facilitating proactive outreach to reporters, assignment editors, and transportation beat journalists (North Carolina experience preferred).
  • Preparing spokespeople for interviews and public briefings with concise messaging frameworks. 
  • Tracking media coverage, sentiment, and performance using earned media monitoring tools and analytics dashboards. Producing transportation-related short-form videos. Community event planning and execution.

This job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee. Duties, responsibilities and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned at any time.

This role is a good fit for someone with these qualifications, experience and skills:

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree, preferably in communications, journalism, public relations, or related field
  • Minimum of 3 years of professional experience in Public Relations and the transportation industry; 5-8 years preferred.
