Required Qualifications • 5+ years of PR experience, with a proven track record in healthtech, medtech, healthcare IT, or hospital/perioperative solutions. • Demonstrated success securing placements in C-suite-focused healthcare outlets (please share portfolio/examples of past coverage). • Strong media relationships in the US healthcare space. • Excellent writing skills for pitches, releases, and executive bylines (compliant with healthcare regulations). • Experience working with early-stage startups; understanding of B2B SaaS selling to hospitals/health systems. • Self-motivated, results-oriented, and comfortable with remote collaboration (tools like Slack, Google Workspace).
