Manager, PR & Communications (US)
Code and TheoryNew York, New York, United States · Posted 2 months agoDescription
Code and Theory is the original digital transformation agency. For 25 years, we’ve treated disruption as an invitation, not a threat. While the industry debates what AI replaces, we’re already building what it makes possible. We’ve been recognized as The One Show’s 2026 AI Pioneer Pencil winner, named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies, Adweek’s first-ever Innovation Agency of the Year, and we've been featured on the Ad Age A-List. This is the team that makes sure the work gets seen and the story matches the ambition because we're only getting started.
In this role, you’ll help shape and share that story across PR and internal communications, partnering closely with leadership and our network agencies (Instrument, Kettle, and Left Field Labs). You’ll join a growing team with real access, working directly with execs to sharpen narratives, ship announcements, and build visibility through press, thought leadership, awards and events.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Partner with network agencies to draft press releases, pitch and build media lists, develop story angles and support launches (client wins, initiatives, partnerships, thought leadership)
- Serve as a go-to communications liaison across teams and partner agencies, connecting stakeholders, aligning messaging and keeping PR/internal comms workstreams moving
- Pitch media and support inbound opportunities; coordinate interview logistics and briefing materials
- Track and report on press coverage, executive mentions, speaking opportunities and competitive/news moments
- Manage awards and event submissions: calendar, requirements, writing, approvals and post-submission follow-up
- Help prepare for key industry moments and events (conferences, speaking opportunities) by coordinating timelines, materials, briefing docs and follow-up
- Support executive communications: talking points, Q&A, bylines
- Support internal communications: network-wide updates, key announcements
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
- 4+ years in communications/PR (in-house or agency)
- Strong writing across press releases, bylines, pitches and briefing docs. You’ll be reporting to a former editor so bring your writing chops (not ChatGPTs)
- Comfort working directly with C-suite and executing quickly day-to-day
- Strong organization and a detail-oriented mindset (deadlines, calendars, version control, approvals)
- Experience managing external partners/agencies and keeping workstreams moving
- Proactive ideas, strong judgment and responsive communication
- Interest in (and understanding of) technology and the advertising/agency landscape. Excel at translating complex work into clear narratives
