Who: Redfin
Position: Public Relations Director
Where: Seattle
What: Redfin is looking for a leader for our PR team: an idea junkie, number-cruncher, program-builder, and storyteller. We need a preacher and a believer, a thinker and a doer, somebody who helps us set the strategy before selling it to the press.
A Bit More About You
- News junkie: you read everything, know everyone, comment everywhere, blog compulsively, write well. In the world of new media, you’re a spectator and a participant. Send us your Twitter account or your blog address.
- Storyteller: you know a good story when you see one, and you love to tell it and sell it — to strangers, to skeptics, to anyone who will listen.
- Serious character: you’re a person of substance — not a meeting setter-upper — with ideas of your own, an eagle eye for detail, a nose for numbers, a non-negotiable commitment to the truth.
- Real estate maven: you track the market & tour open houses just for fun. People you barely know ask you where the market’s headed. Vulture, rubber-necker, baloney-detector, skeptic, enthusiast.
What You Do
- Strategist: set the course for the team on how we become a part of every real estate conversation
- Program builder: develop new channels for propagating Redfin’s real estate insights, creating a killer blog and local newsletters.
- Lead: we’ve got a small, but growing team of hardworking PR specialists and real estate scientist working to flood the zone that we want to take from 3 to 6 people.
- Speak the truth to power: develop as an authoritative spokesperson in your own right, with reasoned and the facts & numbers to back ’em up.
Your Skills
- Experience with traditional or new media, especially covering or building category-creating brands
- Great writing skills, and comfy with numbers too
- Management, you’ve built and led great teams before
