Aum Advisors

AUM Advisors is a strategic investor relations and capital markets advisory firm working with companies navigating U.S. listings, de-SPAC transactions, and Nasdaq readiness. We're looking for a Media Associate whose primary mission is securing media placements — broadcast, financial, and trade press — for our clients, from pre-IPO companies to Nasdaq-listed issuers.

What you'll do:

• Pitch and secure media placements across broadcast, financial, and trade outlets for clients across capital markets transactions
• Build and maintain relationships with journalists, producers, and editors covering capital markets and sector-specific trade press
• Draft press releases, media pitches, corporate blog posts, op-eds, and executive bylines
• Lead social media strategy and thought leadership content development for client executives and corporate accounts
• Help produce materials for AUM's own conference and thought-leadership initiatives (including our Japan and Europe SPAC summits)
• Collaborate with senior IR advisors to ensure messaging is accurate, on-brand, and aligned with each client's capital markets objectives

What we're looking for:

• 2-3 years of experience in media relations, financial PR, journalism, or a related field, with a track record of securing press placements
• Strong writing and pitching skills, with the ability to translate complex financial and capital markets concepts into stories journalists want to cover
• Comfort working across multiple client accounts and deadlines simultaneously
• Existing expertise or demonstrated ability to quickly get up to speed in sectors such as AI, quantum computing, cleantech, defense tech, and fintech
• NYC-based preferred, but open to remote candidates anywhere

Compensation: $30–$80/hour, commensurate with experience

Interested candidates should send a resume and a cover letter explaining why this position fits their skills and aspirations.
