If you’re a storyteller at heart with a passion for brand building through earned media, join the Marvin team as a Public Relations Strategist. In this role, you will work directly with the Director, Enterprise Public Relations + Reputation to champion and manage corporate public relations initiatives to support Marvin’s positioning, thought leadership and sales goals. You will have a key role in strategy development and execution of the company’s media relations initiatives and will initiate creative strategies to advance our positioning and maximize results from earned media.
