PR Managing Director - Fractional

Disrupt PR | Up to $75-$100/hr DOE | Part-time contract, Mon–Thu This isn't a coast role. We need a senior PR operator who still writes the pitch, chases the follow-up, lands placements every week, and makes the team around them better everyday. ABOUT DISRUPT PR We're an Austin-based boutique PR agency, named #1 Best Boutique PR Agency 2025. We were journalists; now we win at PR. Our team pitches newsrooms we used to work in, and our campaigns have generated enough coverage to crash client websites. We work with ambitious brands in biotech, health media, proptech, manufacturing, cannabis and financial advisory. Our team is fully remote and small: CEO, COO and an Account Manager. Every person on it moves the needle. Let's Disrupt! THE ROLE You're our Managing Director, on a fractional basis. You own earned-media results across our client roster: the angles, the pitch writing, the follow-up, the client relationship, client zoom meetings and the coaching that turns our account team's work into placements. WHAT YOU'LL OWN • Placements. Earned media across 5–7 active accounts, working toward our standard of 2–4 quality placements per client per month. • Follow-up discipline. Run a real cadence with top reporters, with second and third touches, until it's a yes or a clear no. • Pitch writing. Write the strongest pitches yourself and boil every story down to one or two sentences. • Angles & newsjacking. Turn a client's weak spot into a story, and turn breaking news into a pitch
