About Norm
Norm builds AI-native professional services firms and the technology that powers them. Our mission is to help expert professionals deliver better work at greater scale.
Developing the technology and the firms together lets us rethink how work gets done, how teams operate and what clients can expect. Professional judgment and experience guide what we build, while advances in the technology expand what our firms can deliver. Our shared agentic platform connects that progress across teams and services.
Founded in 2023, Norm brings together experts across engineering, research, product, design and professional practice. Our legal and compliance platform serves institutions representing more than $35 trillion in combined assets under management.
Norm also powers Norm Law, LLP, an affiliated AI-native law firm whose attorneys advise leading institutions on complex corporate matters.
AI Fluency:
Norm prefers all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.
Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.
This Role
Norm is seeking a Director of PR & Communications to build and lead an external communications program that strengthens the reputations of both Norm and Norm Law, our affiliated AI-native law firm. This role will establish a clear, credible voice at the intersection of AI, legal services, regulation, and business.
Reporting to the Head of Marketing, you will own PR and communications across the broader Norm organization. You will shape how our founder, executives, Norm Law leadership, and partners communicate with the media, policymakers, clients, investors, and other influential audiences.
A central part of the role will be supporting the growth and reputation of Norm Law. You will work closely with law-firm leadership and partners to translate their expertise into compelling narratives, identify meaningful media and thought-leadership opportunities, and ensure Norm Ai and Norm Law tell one coherent story.
What You’ll Do
Build the communications strategy: Develop an integrated approach to media relations, executive communications, public affairs, thought leadership, and reputation management across Norm and Norm Law.
Advance the Norm Law narrative: Shape how Norm Law communicates its differentiated model, practice-area expertise, client value, and role in the future of legal services.
Translate narratives into executive and partner communications: Partner with the Head of Marketing to turn Norm’s core positioning—and the expertise of our founder, executives, and Norm Law partners—into social content, essays, op-eds, speeches, talking points, and public positions.
Lead media relations: Build relationships with business, technology, AI, legal, and policy reporters while managing inbound requests, proactive outreach, interviews, and follow-up.
Define messages and guardrails: Maintain core narratives, proof points, Q&A, spokesperson guidance, and sensitive-issues frameworks across the technology company and law firm.
Prepare spokespeople: Create briefing materials, lead preparation sessions, staff interviews, and ensure executives and partners communicate consistently and credibly.
Own the operating process: Establish clear intake, evaluation, approval, tracking, and escalation processes for media, speaking, podcast, byline, and partner-content opportunities.
Lead partners and manage risk: Direct external communications agencies, hold partners accountable, identify emerging issues early, and navigate client confidentiality, professional obligations, and reputational risk.
What We’re Looking For:
Core Qualifications
8+ years experience leading PR, corporate communications, executive communications, public affairs, or media relations.
A track record of serving as a trusted communications adviser to founders, executives, senior partners, or other high-profile subject-matter experts.
Exceptional writing and editorial judgment, including experience ghostwriting executive or partner social content, speeches, essays, op-eds, and bylines.
Strong media instincts and experience building productive relationships with top-tier reporters and managing external agencies.
The judgment to navigate sensitive topics, client confidentiality, reputational risk, complex approvals, and highly scrutinized claims.
The ability to translate technical, legal, regulatory, or policy-heavy subjects into clear and compelling public narratives.
Strong operational ownership and the ability to build effective systems in a fast-moving environment with evolving priorities.
Nice to Haves
Experience supporting a law firm, legal-services organization, professional-services business, or other partner-led environment.
Familiarity with AI, legal technology, financial services, government, or regulation.
An established network across business, technology, AI, legal, policy, or government media.
Experience supporting major company milestones, law-firm launches, practice-area growth, fundraising announcements, or regulatory developments.

Develop a strong understanding of Norm, Norm Law, their leadership teams, practice areas, audiences, existing narratives, and reputational priorities.

Tips for Your PR Director Job Search
Tailor your resume to the sector
Corporate and agency pr director roles weight different things. Corporate listings want crisis experience and C-suite counsel. Agency listings want client retention and team growth. Adjust your bullet points before each application rather than submitting one generic document.
Lead with measurable media outcomes
Hiring managers for pr directors want to see placements, share-of-voice shifts, and coverage quality, not just activity. Quantify the results of campaigns you led, naming the outlets and the business outcome your coverage supported.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists pr director openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Get a crisis communications example ready
Almost every pr director interview includes a crisis scenario question. Prepare a specific example where you managed a reputational threat, controlled the narrative, and worked with legal or executive teams, before you submit your first application.
Show your media relationships without name-dropping
Interviewers know that press relationships are yours, not your employer's. Describe the beats you cover, the tier of journalists you work with regularly, and how you maintain those relationships over time rather than listing individual names.
Negotiate scope before negotiating anything else
Before accepting a pr director offer, clarify reporting structure, budget authority, and whether you have final sign-off on statements. Titles vary widely across organizations, and two pr director roles can have completely different levels of authority.
PR Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most pr directors?
The most active employers for pr directors right now are Egnyte, Norm, and Thesis, and the most openings are in New York, Massachusetts, and North Carolina, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is highest at large corporations, healthcare systems, entertainment companies, and mid-size agencies managing multiple brand accounts.
How many pr director jobs are remote?
About 92% of pr director openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though fully on-site roles are common at organizations that prioritize in-person executive access. Media relations and content strategy functions tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while crisis communications roles frequently require proximity to leadership.
How do you become a pr director?
Most pr directors start in coordinator or specialist roles, build a media relations foundation, and move into manager positions where they lead campaigns and supervise staff. From there, demonstrating crisis experience, budget ownership, and strategic counsel to senior leaders is what gets candidates promoted or hired into director-level roles. A portfolio of measurable earned media results accelerates that path significantly.
Can you get hired as a pr director with limited experience?
Getting hired as a pr director with limited formal experience is difficult but not impossible if you can point to concrete outcomes rather than titles. Candidates who built media coverage independently, led communications for a nonprofit or startup, or managed a high-visibility crisis punch above their seniority on paper. Agencies occasionally promote strong senior account managers earlier than corporate employers do.
What does the pr director interview process look like?
Most pr director interview processes include an initial screen with HR or a talent partner, a working interview or writing exercise, and then rounds with the hiring manager, a communications VP, and sometimes a cross-functional leader such as the CMO or general counsel. Expect at least one crisis scenario question and a request to walk through a campaign you led from strategy through results.
Where can I find and apply to pr director jobs?
You can find and apply to pr director jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles that fit your background, review each listing, and apply directly. There is no need to go elsewhere to build a separate profile or submit a separate application for each source.
