Job Description

We’re hunting for a sharp, detail-obsessed Marketing and PR dynamo who’s not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get creative. If you can craft press releases that actually get people talking, coordinate buzzworthy event communications, and build relationships with media pros from Main Street to Madison Avenue, keep reading.

Your mission (should you choose to accept it): whip up killer blog content, dig into research like a detective, and keep our website fresh and on point—all while making sure every word screams #BrandGoals.

You’ll also assist as a digital media maestro, masterminding posts that grab eyeballs and spark conversation across multiple platforms—juggling projects like a pro? Prioritizing like a ninja? Coordinating press interviews from fried chicken to movie premieres? If that’s you, we want to talk.

This isn’t your average 9-to-5 gig. You need to be proactive, hungry to learn, and able to thrive when the pace picks up. Stellar writing? Check. Creative problem-solving? Double check. A knack for keeping the team on-brand and on point? Triple check.

If you’re ready to bring your A-game and help Design on Edge—and our awesome clients—rise to the top of the buzz-o-sphere, let’s make it happen.
