This is a highly independent, results-driven position for an experienced publicist who can quickly identify, pitch, and secure meaningful media opportunities for our clients. The successful candidate will work autonomously most of the time and must be comfortable taking full ownership of media outreach, journalist relationships, and securing placements without extensive supervision. Compensation will consist of a base rate plus performance-based commission tied directly to successfully secured media placements and agreed-upon visibility opportunities. We are looking for someone who can demonstrate results, move quickly, and consistently deliver measurable outcomes for our clients. Please include your expected base salary or rate range when applying.
About us: The KA Consulting Group supports CEOs, founders, and senior executives with strategic communications, reputation building, executive visibility, and PR. We work closely with leaders to strengthen their public presence through earned media, podcasts, awards, speaking opportunities, and other high-value visibility opportunities.

  • Ability to develop strong story angles and pitches that support long-term executive reputation and positioning
  • Strong understanding of what makes an executive or company credible and relevant to media rather than relying on mass outreach

  • Comfortable working toward defined outreach and placement goals
  • Able to provide clear weekly email updates on outreach, responses, opportunities, and next steps
  • Able to work independently while collaborating closely with a senior team
