Hiring: Journalist with PR Experience

Capsul is looking for a talented journalist or media insider to help us get real earned media coverage in top-tier outlets. This is not an agency role. This is for someone who personally knows how to write, pitch, and place stories — and can deliver results without crazy fees. Important: We’re a lean, fast-growing startup with a smart budget. We’re not looking for traditional PR firms or middlemen. We prefer to work directly with a skilled journalist or freelancer who understands the media world, has real newsroom relationships, and thrives on agility and creativity. The Ideal Fit: You have personal relationships or strong contacts at major outlets like Forbes, Business Insider, Fast Company, Associated Press, GQ, etc. You know how to craft powerful pitches that get picked up — because you’ve been on the other side of the desk. You can write high-quality, publishable stories if needed. You’ve worked with fast-moving startups, brands, or founders before. Bonus: Familiarity with lifestyle, design, innovation, housing, or real estate topics. Role & Deliverables: Secure real media placements in top outlets. Develop creative angles and smart PR strategies. Work directly with our team (no account managers or layers). Start on a per-article/per-placement basis, with opportunity to grow into a long-term relationship. Start Date: Immediate. We want someone who’s ready to move fast and make headlines. If you are a journalist or former reporter who knows how to open doors and tell great brand stories, we want to meet you.
