The Role You’ll Play

CB Insights is looking for a Senior Manager of PR & Social Media to help build our reputation as the authority on private technology companies.

Your job is to turn what we uniquely know into stories people want to pay attention to - and then find creative ways to make those stories travel.

You’ll work closely with our analysts, executives, and startup founders to uncover stories behind the companies and technologies shaping the future. You’ll use PR and social to amplify our point of view, grow our audience, and make CB Insights a source people actively follow for what matters in private tech.

This is a highly creative, hands-on role for someone with strong editorial instincts, deep media expertise, sharp creative taste, and an instinct for bold ideas that earn attention.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Activate our community, events, and recognized companies to help amplify the stories and insights they’re part of.

PR & Earned Media

• Build relationships with tier 1 journalists and influential industry publications most relevant to our customers.
• Drive earned media around our flagship lists and research to expand their reach and strengthen CB Insights’ authority.
• Develop timely media angles around the markets and companies our analysts cover and rate, helping amplify their point of view and build credibility.
• Turn major partnerships into broader stories that strengthen our credibility, and introduce CB Insights to new audiences.
• Shape the CEO’s external communications and point of view across major company, market, and industry moments.
• Prepare executives and analysts to represent CB Insights effectively in interviews, with clear messaging, strong talking points, and practical coaching.
