Start: ASAP (January–February 2026 preferred)

Length: 6 months with possible conversion

Location: Denver, CO metro office (no remote or hybrid)

A publicly-traded telecommunications leader (video services, satellite TV, and wireless) is rebuilding its corporate communications team and is seeking two seasoned PR Managers.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own B2C external PR strategy across video, broadband, and mobile consumer products
  • Lead crisis communications and rapid-response in a highly regulated, consumer-facing environment
  • Manage internal communications for a workforce of thousands of field technicians, install crews, retail locations, and call centers spread nationwide
  • Partner tightly with Brand Marketing, Legal, Regulatory, and an in-house creative agency
  • Drive proactive storytelling and reputation turnaround in a post-layoff growth phase

Must-Haves (Don’t Apply Without These)

  • 6+ years of PR/comms experience with heavy B2C focus
  • Direct experience in telecommunications, satellite TV, video services, or mobile/cellular consumer PR
  • Proven background at companies with large, geographically dispersed operations and field/install crews (think nationwide truck rolls vs. HQ-centric)
  • Battle-tested crisis and internal comms skills in regulated industries (telecom, energy, utilities, consumer tech)
  • Must be able to work 100% onsite in the Denver metro area

You’ll Stand Out If You…

  • Are currently or recently at Comcast, Charter/Spectrum, Verizon, DirecTV, AT&T, Cox, or similar — especially if impacted by upcoming restructurings
  • Have managed consumer PR through network outages, service launches, or billing controversies
  • Bring established relationships with national tech/telecom reporters
  • Have experience rebuilding public perception after large-scale layoffs

This is a freelance to hire position must be onsite on Denver, CO. Multiple junior and mid-level PR/Comms roles are also available with the same onsite and industry requirements.
