We’re looking for a Director of Public Relations & Communications to lead integrated media relations, executive communications, and digital storytelling programs for climate and energy companies like Mantel, Lunar Energy, and Carbon180.
The ideal candidate for this opportunity can counsel clients, guide teams, and lead the moments that matter: major announcements, narrative pivots, creative campaigns, and key business milestones. They have a strong foundation in technology communications and climate/energy, and a track record of success producing full-funnel communications programs.
Account Directors at LaunchSquad lead four to five client accounts, partnering with senior leaders and clients to build and run narrative-driven communications programs. They translate complexity into clear, compelling stories and drive how and where those stories show up across media, executive platforms, and social channels. They’ll also play a key role in developing talent, coaching teams, upholding high-quality work standards, and helping others grow.
- Develop and run full-funnel, integrated communications programs across earned media, executive thought leadership, owned content, and digital/social channels
- Manage client relationships, providing strategic counsel and anticipating program needs
- Shape and lead high-impact moments like launches, announcements, funding, and other milestones

- Write and edit high-impact materials, including messaging frameworks, brand narratives, thought leadership, and long-form and social content
- Build and maintain strong media relationships across tech, climate, and energy sectors
- Lead and mentor teams, ensuring high-quality work and supporting growth and advancement
- Manage multiple accounts and priorities in a fast-paced environment
- 10+ years of experience in public relations, communications, and editorial content (some agency and/or high-growth tech experience preferred)
- Strong background in technology communications and experience in climate, energy, or sustainability sectors; familiarity with regulatory environments is a plus
- Proven ability to translate complex technical topics into clear, compelling narratives
- Strong writer and editor with experience developing both executive thought leadership and POV-driven content, and owned editorial and visual content like blogs, whitepapers, FAQs, data reports, and short-form videos
- Strong media instincts and a track record of developing story angles and securing high-impact coverage across top-tier and industry outlets.
- Deep understanding of how stories move across media, newsletters, LinkedIn, and other digital channels
- Experience leading teams and developing talent
- Highly organized, strong communicator, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
- Fully covered health benefits, including vision and dental.
- 401(k) matching program
- Generous paid family leave
- Flexible vacation and rotational Fridays off
- Sabbatical leave
- Wellness stipend
- Mentorship program focused on internal growth and development
- Virtual-first, work-from-anywhere setup
- People- and community-oriented with in-person team gatherings
