Job Description

About SimpliSafe We’re a high-tech home security company that’s passionate about protecting the life you’ve built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we’ve created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you’re building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here. We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday and Wednesday, to work together in person, and teams can choose where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done. Why are we hiring? Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. SimpliSafe is an innovative, mission-driven and growing business. SimpliSafe has been disrupting the home security industry since day one - and we’re looking for a Public Relations Specialist to help us position SimpliSafe as the new standard in home security. As Public Relations Specialist, you’ll work collaboratively alongside our PR team and agency partners to help us tell our story, build awareness of our products and services, and protect our reputation.

  • Collaborate with agency partners to drive consistent press coverage that helps us tell our story and build awareness
  • Build and foster strong relationships with media, especially in the tech sector, and support our product reviews program
  • Manage regular reporting of SimpliSafe, competitor, and industry coverage, as well as reporting on our KPIs - and use these insights to make recommendations on our programs
  • Prepare press releases, pitches, and other written materials
  • Collaborate with cross-functional colleagues and business leaders on product launches, issues management, thought leadership opportunities, interview prep, and more
  • Support employer brand initiatives, including award submissions, LinkedIn content, and speaking opportunities

About You

  • 3-5+ years of related experience (PR agency experience preferred)
  • Understanding of the media landscape, including a familiarity with consumer electronics tech media and trends (familiarity with smart home and/or AI landscape preferred)
  • Understanding of PR tools and practices
  • Demonstrated media relations and storytelling capabilities, including the ability to achieve high impact placements with top tier reporters and editors
  • Excellent written, verbal, and organizational skills
  • Effective relationship-building skills and experience working with cross-functional teams
  • Ability to be a self-starter and work quickly and collaboratively under pressure, handling and prioritizing multiple assignments
  • Good judgment and ability to deal with highly sensitive and confidential matters
  • Bachelor’s degree

What Values You’ll Share

  • Customer Obsessed - Building deep empathy for our customers, putting them at the core of our work, and developing strong, long-term relationships with them.
  • Aim High - Always challenging ourselves and others to raise the bar.
  • No Ego - Maintaining a “no job too small” attitude, and an open, inclusive and humble style.
  • One Team - Taking a highly collaborative approach to achieving success.
  • Lift As We Climb - Investing in developing others and helping others around us succeed.
  • Lean & Nimble - Working with agility and efficiency to experiment in an often ambiguous environment.

Equal Opportunity Statement We wholeheartedly embrace and actively seek applications from all individuals, no matter how they identify. We are committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we believe our work is enriched when we incorporate a multitude of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. We want everyone who works here to thrive and contribute to not only our mission of keeping every home secure, but also to making our workplace safe and supportive for others.
