Leviathan™ battery systems are on vessels. Autonomous programs are underway. A $43M Series A is public. The story is real and the timing is right.

This role owns Fleetzero's earned media program and event execution: building journalist and creator relationships across maritime trade press, defense publications, VC media, and mainstream business outlets - pitching the right angle to the right reporter, then executing at industry events with operational precision.

This is not a press-release-writing job. If you can name the journalist, the angle, and the outlet for a placement you drove in the last twelve months - this is your role.

What We're Looking For
• 3+ years of PR, communications, or events experience, preferably in B2B, industrial,
defense, or technology sectors.
• Bachelor's degree in marketing, journalism, business management or related field.
• An established network of maritime, defense, or energy journalists and editors is a
significant advantage.
• Proven track record of securing earned media placements
• Exceptional project management skills
• Strong written communication skills. Tight, clean prose.
• Willingness to travel to domestic and international events on short notice.

Bonus Points
• Existing relationships with reporters, creators, and podcasters.
• PR or Ad Agency experience.
• A strong portfolio of proven work.
• Examples of innovative activations you have led which led to positive business
outcomes.
• You thrive in a fast-paced startup, ever-fluid environment.
