Zen Media is the go-to B2B marketing and PR agency helping enterprise software, healthcare technology, professional services, and manufacturing brands achieve measurable growth and industry leadership. By combining strategic content, earned media, and social amplification, we help our clients influence discerning buyers, shorten sales cycles, and drive ROI. Our work has been featured in leading publications such as Forbes, Fast Company, Ad Age, and The Wall Street Journal, and we have consistently delivered double-digit growth and increased market share for our clients.
We are looking for an operationally strong profile to support and manage the execution of our proprietary systems including our client-facing platform across multiple product lines such as AI-optimized content programs, structured distribution, AEO (answer engine optimization), and reputation management, while also supporting white-labeled solutions delivered to partner agencies.
This role is execution-focused, requiring you to manage workflows end-to-end, coordinate teams, work directly with clients, and ensure delivery, messaging accuracy, brand protection, and compliance are consistently maintained across all outputs rather than focusing on traditional PR pitching.
