  • Champion new tools, processes, and approaches that elevate our work and keep Walker Sands ahead of the curve
  • Help shape internal frameworks that improve efficiency, quality, and strategic rigor

Requirements:

  • 6+ years of B2B PR agency experience, with experience in IT, cybersecurity, data, and/or AI industries
  • Proven ability to lead PR programs confidently from strategy through execution
  • Strong track record of advising senior‑level clients and managing complex, high‑stakes programs
