About Atom
Atom.com is on a mission to reimagine the future of naming. We've built a powerful domain marketplace and branding platform. But we’re not here to do more of the same—we’re building a platform from the ground up, powered by AI, brand-first thinking, and a deep understanding of what founders and domain investors actually need to power their business.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a PR & Media Outreach Associate to support our media outreach efforts and learn hands-on PR execution in a fast-paced startup environment.
This is an execution-focused, entry-level role. You will work closely with the marketing and leadership team to help organize outreach, manage media lists, and support pitching efforts. You’ll gain real experience working on startup announcements, product launches, and brand storytelling.
This role is ideal for someone early in their PR career who has some exposure to media outreach or communications work and wants to grow into a stronger PR practitioner.
What You’ll Do
You will support the PR function across day-to-day execution, including:
Media List Building
We are not looking for senior PR strategists or agency leaders. We are looking for someone early in their career who is ready to build strong fundamentals.
