Tech PR Account Manager

HKA Marketing Communications is the global PR headquarters for quantum technology clients and the only PR agency truly dedicated to communications for quantum companies since 2019. While the quantum industry historically has taken a back seat to other tech sectors, particularly artificial intelligence, the quantum industry is on fire as technology advances are coming more quickly and investors are recognizing the monumental impact quantum will have -- and it's coming sooner than many predicted.

Based in Southern California, with a combination of onsite and remote team members across the United States, HKA strategically creates customized communications solutions tailored to both established and start-up companies. As a PR pioneer in quantum, the agency benefits from its expansive global network of companies and individuals in all quadrants of quantum tech. The agency consistently generates top-tier editorial coverage, enhancing credibility and visibility for its clients.

HKA services include media relations, quantum influencer relations, strategic content development, social media, and a comprehensive spectrum of other PR activities.

We will be adding an Account Manager and an Account Executive, both with prior Tech PR experience.

Our worldwide clients are at the forefront of this critically important emerging industry that will affect our society in many ways, including resolving challenging global issues.

The Account Manager will work closely with team members and clients.
