Account Manager, PR - B2B Tech Job at Hoffman Agency in Boston
Hoffman Agency, Boston, MA, US, 02298
(Hybrid-San Jose, CA | Portland, OR | Boston, MA)
Seeking sharp-witted, cyber-savvy account managers who see storytelling as their ultimate firewall
If you thrive on the buzz of incident response meetings, can decode client needs faster than a brute-force attack, and love collaborating with a team that's as clever as a phishing scam (but much more ethical), then your next adventure starts here.
The Hoffman Agency is a global public relations and integrated marketing consultancy that crafts stories to build brands-and in our cybersecurity practice, we do that while helping our clients fight the good fight in cyberspace.
We're looking for account managers with a passion for narrative strategy, tech trends, and yes-malware metaphors. Bonus points if you can explain zero trust without making it sound scary (unless you're pitching a threat report).
If this sounds like your kind of challenge, proceed to the next layer of the stack.
The Plot Thickens: Job Description
Account leadership: You'll manage multiple technology accounts, leading strategy and execution -always ready to deep-dive into a newsjacking opportunities.
Client relations: Be the trusted advisor who helps clients navigate threats, AI hype cycles, and the ever-shifting regulatory terrain. You'll lead calls, set realistic KPIs, and help keep the media up to date on the ever-changing cyber landscape.
Media relations: From AI to threat landscape reports and ransomware trends, you'll pitch stories that cut through the noise-and secure coverage that matters in trade, tech and business/broadcast.
Content creation: Collaborate with researchers and SMEs to craft messaging that turns complex topics like supply chain attacks, quantum cryptography, agentic AI trends and use cases into snackable, shareable content.
Measurement: Use analytics to show impact-whether it's a spike in SOV during Cybersecurity Awareness Month or coverage in key outlets after a major vulnerability disclosure.
New business: Help us scope and win exciting new clients-from endpoint protection pioneers to AI innovators.
Attributes of the Protagonist (That is You)
- You're as curious as a threat researcher pen testing a network
- You're not afraid of acronyms (EDR, XDR, DDoS, NIST, GDPR? Bring it on.)
- You can turn a patch note into a pitch angle.
- You know that cybersecurity isn't just a vertical-it's a battleground.
- You lead by example, being on the front lines of pitches and client relations.
- A bachelor's degree in a relevant field, plus 4+ years of PR experience (cyber clients required).
- Experience juggling accounts and managing up/down.
- Stellar writing chops-especially for thought leadership, social copy, and pitch-worthy press releases.
- You've built media relationships and earned coverage with tier-one and trade outlets.
Why You'll Love It Here
We're a team that gets giddy over breaking news alerts, relishes translating the jargon of threat intel into plain English, and believes every great story deserves a human angle-even when it involves ransomware.
Join us at the intersection of cybersecurity and storytelling. Let's build narratives that defend reputations, shape public discourse, and yes-make firewalls fun again.
We are a company that values diversity and inclusion. We also "care."
Come join us in pushing - and periodically shoving - the boundaries of communications.
We will contact all shortlisted candidates.
The Account Manager salary ranges between $79,400 to $99,400 depending on experience and location. More experienced candidates may be considered for the more senior titles with higher salary ranges.
