Maganti IT Resources LLC

Client products are diverse in thermal imaging and other detection technologies, and so are the markets they sell to. Client is looking for a rock star Director of Public Relations who will design and implement an overall public relations strategy that will help make our client a household name.
The Director of PR is a new position that involves equal parts “big picture strategy” and “nuts and bolts” implementation. In other words, you will need to be a thought leader who can mind the details. And because it’s a new role, this could be your chance to build your dream job.
Client is a technology company, so you will ideally have a background working in the tech space. We don’t expect you to know thermal science up front, but you’ll need to be a quick study. Client will launch multiple products every year, and are expanding their reach into consumer markets.
You’ll report to the Senior VP/Chief Marketing Officer and manage a mid-sized team.
