Small Girls PR is looking for a Senior Vice President to inspire and guide day-to-day strategy, lead a small team and oversee media relations for food & beverage, tech, and lifestyle. The work coming out of this team drives major pop-culture conversation and is a mix of quick-turn, of-the-moment genius and fully integrated, strategic programming.

As the team lead, the SVP will also help inspire and lead an incredible team that is eager to continue to grow and deliver. There is no one-size-fits-all for an SGPR client which means your career will be further enriched with meaningful and diversified experience. We've handled mergers for GE, announced Esusu as one of the first Black-owned tech unicorns, created a closet calculator to see how recycled clothing impacts the environment with thredUP, and tapped the Green M&M as Zappos’ newest “shoefluencer” ahead of the Super Bowl, when M&M’s spokescandies were put on hiatus. This team was specifically responsible for poking fun at McDonalds’ broken ice cream machines with Jack In The Box and our Don’t Get McShammed campaign.
