POSITION
Public Relations Manager
REPORTS TO
Vice President of Corporate Marketing
LOCATION
Raleigh, NC
POSITION OVERVIEW
We are seeking a dynamic, strategic, and proactive Public Relations Manager to improve awareness and drive engagement with key business and technical media. In this role, you will partner internally with key stakeholders, and externally with our global Public Relations agencies to execute our communication plans, media relations, and protect our market reputation. You will report directly to the Vice President of Corporate Marketing and collaborate closely with internal marketing, product management, senior leaders, and legal teams.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Media Monitoring, Competitive Intelligence, and Rapid Response:
- Track media coverage daily, use AI to analyze coverage, gather insights, and identify opportunities to improve our media strategy.
- Create and deliver quarterly PR impact reports.
- Flag opportunities for newsjacking, route commentary to the appropriate spokesperson, and drive the approvals of the response within a tight timeframe required for standing briefs.
- Act as the early warning system of competitive activity through daily monitoring of competitors such as Oracle, Databricks, Snowflake, MongoDB, and vector database companies.
- Cultivate and maintain active relationships with key business, trade, and mainstream tech journalists.
Internal Content Pipeline Coordination
- Actively manage the creation, internal review, and approval process for critical content assets.
- Work with the broader Marketing team to convert primary assets (customer case studies, benchmark reports) into press releases, media pitches, sales one-pagers, social campaigns, executive slides, and blog summaries, ensuring assets are cleared for external use and meet the needs of the sales and web teams.
Spokesperson Management And Preparation
- Act as the internal advocate to secure time blocks for executive external engagements.
- Own the pre-briefing process, ensuring executives walk into every media interview and conference session with the right talking points mapped to the correct strategic narrative pillar.
Partner Announcement Gatekeeping
- Serve as the internal checkpoint for all partner and co-marketing announcements, ensuring they align with a credibility-first approach (e.g., requiring a joint customer).
- Manage stakeholders and internal teams to prevent premature publishing of blog posts and web pages that would undermine the PR team’s intent to pitch news as exclusive.
Thought Leadership Program Management
- Coordinate with the agency on draft thought leadership articles, manage review cycles, and maintain the posting schedule, ensuring ghostwritten content is delivered to completion.
- Drive the editing and approval process for high-quality press releases, briefing documents, media kits, executive speeches, and thought leadership articles.
Measurement And Reporting
- Own the bi-weekly reporting cadence for the measurement framework (share of voice tracking, message pull through, narrative pillar alignment audits, AI Overview monitoring, and CRM source attribution).
- Run, interpret, and present reporting to leadership, flagging early when metrics drift from targets to enable course correction.
QUALIFICATIONS
Required
- 5-7 years of experience in corporate communications, public relations, or a closely related discipline, including time spent supporting senior executives.
- Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, or a related field.
- Direct experience in B2B technology, enterprise software, data infrastructure, databases, cloud, or AI/ML categories.
- Demonstrated track record managing high-volume editorial pipelines and shepherding content from draft to external publication across multiple stakeholders.
- Proven experience preparing executives for press interviews and conference appearances, including developing message frameworks and talking points.
- Strong project management skills with the ability to operate under pressure, including comfort with same-day and four-hour rapid response cycles.
- Experience managing or partnering with external PR, communications, or thought leadership agencies.
- Sharp editorial judgment, with excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills across a range of formats (press releases, bylines, social, internal briefs).
- Strong cross-functional stakeholder management, especially across PR, product marketing, sales, and legal teams.
Preferred
- Familiarity with the competitive landscape across Oracle, Databricks, Snowflake, MongoDB, and emerging vector database and AI infrastructure vendors.
- Hands-on experience with communications measurement tools and frameworks, including share of voice, narrative alignment audits, AI Overview / generative search monitoring, and CRM source attribution.
- Experience supporting a company through periods of significant change, such as leadership transitions, rebrands, repositioning, or M&A.
Key Competencies
- Understanding of both generative AI and agentic AI. Familiarity using AI tools such as Claude or Gemini.
- Maintain a quality control mindset by ensuring accuracy, consistency, and on-brand execution.
- Remain calm under pressure to triage competing priorities and make decisions quickly.
- Influence without authority to effectively move senior stakeholders toward shared goals.
- Maintain a strategic narrative orientation to ensure every piece of content aligns with core pillars.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Public Relations Manager
Document your degree's U.S. equivalency early
Foreign communications or PR degrees often need a credential evaluation before PERM filing begins. Get a NACES-member evaluation that maps your qualification to a U.S. bachelor's or master's equivalent so employers aren't delayed by documentation gaps mid-process.
Target agencies with multinational client portfolios
PR agencies managing global accounts routinely sponsor foreign PR managers because the role demands cross-cultural fluency that's hard to source domestically. Search for firms with offices in your home country, as they've navigated international hiring before and understand PERM requirements.
Search green card sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Public Relations Manager roles by employers with active EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, cutting through job listings where sponsorship eligibility is unstated or buried in the application process.
Understand how PERM shapes your salary negotiation
DOL requires your offered salary to meet the prevailing wage for your job zone and location before PERM is certified. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the wage level tied to your duties, so you negotiate an offer that clears that threshold from the start.
Ask employers about their PERM advertising timeline
PERM requires employers to run recruitment steps, including job postings and notices, before filing. Ask prospective employers whether they've started that process or plan to, since the advertising period alone can add three to six months before the petition reaches USCIS.
Position your specialization to support EB-2 eligibility
PR managers with graduate degrees in communications, public affairs, or a related discipline can pursue EB-2 sponsorship, which skips the EB-3 queue for heavily backlogged countries. Frame your specialization, such as crisis communications or investor relations, to align with the advanced-degree requirement in the job description.
Green Card Public Relations Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Public Relations Manager role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Public Relations Manager positions qualify under EB-3 as skilled professionals when the role requires a bachelor's degree in communications, journalism, or a related field. If the position requires a master's degree or you hold one and the employer writes the job requirements accordingly, EB-2 sponsorship becomes available, which can significantly shorten wait times for applicants from countries without heavy backlogs.
How is green card sponsorship different from H-1B sponsorship for PR managers?
Green card sponsorship through PERM, I-140, and adjustment of status leads to permanent residency, not a temporary work authorization period. Unlike H-1B visa, EB-3 green card petitions have no annual lottery, so your employer files when ready and the petition proceeds without a random selection step. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone can take six to twelve months before the I-140 is even filed with USCIS.
What does the PERM process require from a PR manager's employer?
PERM requires the employer to conduct a documented recruitment campaign, including job postings and a prevailing-wage determination from DOL, proving no qualified U.S. worker is available for the role. For PR managers, the job description must specify the actual duties and minimum degree requirements that genuinely match the position. Overstating or understating requirements can trigger a DOL audit, stalling the process significantly.
How do I find PR manager employers who sponsor green cards?
Most job listings don't disclose sponsorship eligibility upfront, making it difficult to know which employers are willing to file PERM. Migrate Mate lets you search Public Relations Manager roles filtered by employers with confirmed EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, so you spend your time on applications where sponsorship is already part of the employer's hiring process.
Can I switch PR employers after my green card is filed but before it's approved?
Once your I-140 has been approved and your priority date becomes current, portability rules allow you to change employers if you move to a same or similar occupational role. A PR manager moving to a similar communications management position at a new company can preserve the original priority date. Changing to an unrelated role before your case is advanced enough typically restarts the process.
