Job description

WHO WE ARE

The PR industry hasn't really changed in fifty years. Relationships, lunches, luck, and a clip report at the end of the month.

Interdependence is rebuilding it from the ground up. Interviewed, our proprietary platform, analyzes 300,000+ stories every day across a network of 250,000 journalists. We turn earned media into something measurable, repeatable, and worth paying for — and apply the same data and discipline across paid, social, content, and brand. Integrated marketing run by one team, on one system, accountable to one result.

Forbes named us one of America's Best PR Agencies. Our 100+ person team works with brands, CMOs, founders, and entrepreneurs across consumer, healthcare, tech, B2B, travel and entertainment.

We move fast. The best argument wins. We hire for sharp thinking, real craft, and ownership from day one. If you want comfortable, this isn't the place. If you want to win, build with us.

  • Media Relations: Build and maintain relationships with key health and lifestyle contacts, securing impactful placements in top-tier outlets and healthcare publications.
  • Thought Leadership: Position clients as industry thought leaders through strategic content development, speaking opportunities, and participation in relevant industry events and conferences.

  • Win new healthcare clients in partnership with our new business team, with focus on biotech, pharma, medical devices, hospital and health systems, digital health, and consumer wellness
  • Represent the practice externally, industry events, healthcare-specific publications, thought leadership in the healthcare communications space

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Minimum of 15 years of experience in public relations, with a focus on the healthcare and lifestyle industries.
  • Proven track record of successfully managing PR campaigns for healthcare clients, with measurable results in media placements and client satisfaction.
  • Strong leadership and management skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate a team to achieve excellence.
