Account Manager - B2B Tech PR

Human Resources Manager at The Hoffman Agency

(Hybrid — San Jose, CA | Portland, OR | Boston, MA)

Seeking sharp‑witted, cyber‑savvy account managers who see storytelling as their ultimate firewall. If you thrive on the buzz of incident response meetings, can decode client needs faster than a brute‑force attack, and love collaborating with a team that’s as clever as a phishing scam (but much more ethical), then your next adventure starts here.

• Account leadership: You’ll manage multiple technology accounts, leading strategy and execution and deep‑dive into newsjacking opportunities.
• Client relations: Trusted advisor helping clients navigate threats, AI hype cycles, and regulatory terrain. Lead calls, set realistic KPIs, and keep the media updated on the ever‑changing cyber landscape.
• Media relations: Pitch stories from AI to threat landscape reports and ransomware trends. Secure coverage that matters in trade, tech, and business broadcasters.
• Content creation: Collaborate with researchers and SMEs to craft messaging that turns complex topics—supply chain attacks, quantum cryptography, agentic AI trends—into snackable, shareable content.
• Measurement: Use analytics to show impact—spikes in SOV during Cybersecurity Awareness Month, coverage after a major vulnerability disclosure.
• New business: Scope and win new clients—from endpoint protection pioneers to AI innovators.

• You’re as curious as a threat researcher pen testing a network.
• You’re not afraid of acronyms (EDR, XDR, DDoS, NIST, GDPR).
• You can turn a patch note into a pitch angle.
• You know that cybersecurity isn’t just a vertical—it’s a battleground.
• You lead by example, being on the front lines of pitches and client relations.

• A bachelor’s degree in a relevant field + 4+ years of PR experience (cyber clients required).
• Experience juggling accounts and managing up/down.
• Stellar writing chops—especially for thought leadership, social copy, and pitch‑worthy press releases.
• You’ve built media relationships and earned coverage with tier‑one and trade outlets.

We’re a team that gets giddy over breaking news alerts, relishes translating threat intel jargon into plain English, and believes every great story deserves a human angle—even when it involves ransomware.

Join us at the intersection of cybersecurity and storytelling. Let’s build narratives that defend reputations, shape public discourse, and make firewalls fun again.

We will contact all shortlisted candidates.

We are a company that values diversity and inclusion. We also “care.”
