They say there’s no such thing as bad press, but at WebPT, we pride ourselves on all the good press we’ve received. And we’d like to take it from good to great. That’s where you come in. As WebPT’s Senior PR Strategist, you’ll craft and own our PR strategy, build and maintain relationships with news and media outlets, and secure opportunities to increase company publicity, drive engagement, and further expand WebPT’s audience reach.

At WebPT, we hire the most talented people for our teams, and then give them the freedom to do their jobs. Here, we work hard—but we have lots of fun doing it. So, if you like a cool, collaborative, and challenging work environment, you’ll fit right in.

As the leader in our market and one of the fastest-growing companies in the country, we’ve already done a lot. But we’re nowhere near done. Our plans just keep getting grander, and we can’t achieve greatness without you.

Responsibilities

• Create, execute, and manage the company’s PR strategy, which spans national, regional, and local angles as well as the healthcare industry.
• Handle all inbound PR requests, and conduct outreach (i.e., pitch stories) to bolster our PR efforts.
• Develop press releases and contributed articles.
• Find and submit award applications.
• Partner with the executive team to build exposure for the company and them as individual leaders.
• Work closely with the content team to ensure PR efforts align with our standards for messaging and appropriately represent the WebPT brand.
• Act as general counsel on the topic of PR during times of internal or external crisis.
• Serve as a marketing resource, providing coaching and offering your know-how across the department.
• Throw business casual to the wind. We want casual-casual. Rock flip flops and jeans. We don’t care, so long as you do good work and enjoy yourself.
• Get ready to fly by the seat of your pants. This role is ever-evolving—just like our team and our marketing strategies—so while you don’t need to be Cirque du Soleil flexible, we may once in awhile ask you to do a few back bends, or at least try some things outside of your wheelhouse.

Abilities and Knowledge

• Know how to handle high points and low points, and exercise sound judgment. Regardless of the PR situation, you should be at the top of your game.
• Have a sense of humor. If you take yourself too seriously, then avert your eyes from this description now.
• Know how to roll up your sleeves. We have a lot of brass tacks here, and we like to get down to ’em.
• Play really nice with others. We’re a tight-knit, highly-collaborative team, and we check our egos at the door.
• Know how to lead and provide constructive coaching.
• Be cool under pressure. Things can get pretty hectic at times, so we want to make sure you keep calm and carry on through even the most stressful of circumstances.

• Sleuth like a masterful gumshoe. From following industry trends to conducting market research, this role involves major investigative work.
• Prioritize relationships above all else. They mean everything to you, and you’re always striving to make peoples’ days better.
• Be all about the details. You never forget to cross your t’s and dot your i’s—or say your p’s and q’s.
• Rock the mic like a vandal—not just in karaoke, but in all forms of communication (i.e., talk well and write good stuff). We’re talking impeccable communication skills and grammatical knowledge. You’re representing the WebPT brand, and we take our voice seriously.

• Be organized, ahead of schedule, communicative, and accountable—in short, own your role entirely, while being open to critiques, suggestions, edits, and new ideas.
• JIbe with our culture. We’re talking energy, integrity, positivity, a hunger for knowledge, and a passion for marketing. Bring all that and a bag of chips. Seriously, we love chips.
