Job Summary:
We're looking for a Senior Public Relations Lead to join Klaviyo's growing Communications team. This is a senior role for a strategic storyteller who can turn complex product and business narratives into compelling, media-ready stories, with a focus on corporate and product communications. You'll be a critical player in building out our AI and agent story for the enterprise and help tell it as we reposition Klaviyo as the autonomous B2C CRM. You'll partner directly with our Head of Communications and work closely with our C-suite, especially our Chief Product Officer, to bring these stories to life in unique and compelling ways that go beyond traditional media.
How You’ll Make a Difference:
- Own PR across corporate and product communications, aligning media strategy and messaging with company goals, product launches, and business milestones.
- Drive media engagement across business, tech, trade and broadcast. Proactively pitch stories, build relationships with media, and secure standout coverage while finding creative, non-traditional ways to tell our story too.
- Develop executive thought leadership programs: shape unique points of view, craft messaging and soundbites, grow executive presence on LinkedIn, and secure top-tier speaking and media opportunities for our C-suite - especially our Chief Product Officer but also supporting programs for our CTO, CMO and on occasion co-CEOs and CFO.
- Own and evolve Klaviyo's agent story: build a distinctive point of view that sets Klaviyo’s agents apart to help position Klaviyo as a leader in the agent and AI space.
- Lead data-driven narrative development: Collaborate with product, marketing, and analytics teams to surface insights from Klaviyo’s platform and turn them into compelling narratives and media angles.
- Manage PR agencies: Lead our relationship with our US and European PR agencies
- Support and train spokespeople: providing message development, prep, and coaching for interviews, and speaking engagements.
- You'll also partner cross-functionally - especially with Product Marketing, Investor Relations, Content, Internal Comms - to identify timely, relevant stories and ensure our messaging is consistent, clear, and media-ready.
- Work closely with the content team on reactive blog posts responding to industry news
- Use and build AI tools to automate and speed up the team's workflows
Who You Are:
- Proven ability to secure standout coverage across top-tier business, technology, trade, and broadcast outlets
- Deep experience partnering directly with senior executives on media opportunities, speaking engagements, messaging, and thought leadership
- Strong ability to translate complex technical products, data, and business concepts into clear, compelling, media-ready narratives
- Strategic and creative thinker with exceptional writing and communication skills, and the ability to move seamlessly between strategy and hands-on execution
- Deep understanding of how corporate and product communications intersect, with the ability to bring both together through compelling, integrated storytelling
- Strong relationship builder who can effectively influence and collaborate with senior leaders, cross-functional partners, media, and external agencies
- Comfortable operating with a high degree of ownership and autonomy in a fast-paced environment where priorities and business needs can evolve quickly
Education and Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, Marketing, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10+ years of relevant experience in public relations, corporate communications, media relations, or a related field, including experience in-house and/or at an agency.

What the Team is Saying
Klaviyo Compensation & Benefits Highlights
How does Klaviyo ensure its pay and bonus plans are competitive?
Klaviyo supports competitive pay through a total rewards approach that combines salary, equity, bonus opportunities, benefits, learning support and a performance culture tied to measurable impact.
- Competitive total rewards: Klaviyo’s benefits overview highlights competitive salaries, 401(k) match, employee referral bonuses, equity, an employee stock purchase plan, flexible paid time off, commuter/transit support, fitness reimbursements, mental and emotional wellbeing programming and learning support. External reviews reinforce the value of the package, with employees citing competitive pay, bonuses, RSUs, ESPP, health insurance, parental leave, unlimited PTO and learning stipends as meaningful parts of the employee experience.
- Pay connected to impact and outcomes: Klaviyo’s handbook frames performance around ownership, clarity and measurable results. The value “Know the score” states that results matter more than effort alone, while “Drivers wanted” emphasizes proactive ownership and “Be meticulous in your craft” reinforces a high bar for work quality. That creates a compensation and recognition philosophy where strong outcomes, not just activity, are central to advancement and rewards.
- Equity and long-term value: Equity is a visible part of Klaviyo’s rewards story. Klaviyo offers equity packages to all full-time employees, vesting over four years, and provides an employee stock purchase plan. That ownership opportunity sits within a growing business: in Q1 2026, Klaviyo reported $358 million in revenue, up 28% year over year, and raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $1.514 billion to $1.522 billion. Those business results give employees a clear connection between company performance, long-term growth and the value of ownership-based compensation.
- Rewards supported by growth and development benefits: Klaviyo’s compensation package is paired with benefits that help employees grow their careers and build long-term value. K-Pro Learn, learning stipends, mentorship, Career Architecture and manager development programs support continued skill-building. A customer success manager noted that Klaviyo offers a learning stipend for job-related coaching or training, while employee survey insights show 78% of respondents feel they are gaining the skills and experience to grow their careers.
- External signals:
- Compensation Sentiment: External reviews frequently praise Klaviyo’s competitive salary, bonuses, equity, RSUs, ESPP, 401(k) match, learning stipend and generous benefits. (Glassdoor; Comparably)
- Rewards Ratings: Comparably rates Klaviyo’s compensation an A and perks and benefits an A. (Comparably)
- Employee Value Signals: Reviews highlight PTO, health insurance, parental leave, office amenities, learning support and work-life balance as part of the overall rewards package. (Glassdoor; Comparably)
