Full Job Description
Help startups break through the noise - not blend in.

WHO WE ARE

VSC is a team of storytellers, strategists, and data nerds helping Davids beat Goliaths with unfair levels of attention. We blend PR, content, and creative to turn early-stage startups into vertical market leaders - and we've done it 1,000+ times, unlocking $100B+ in exits and IPOs.

Our work ranges from empowering millions of women to build businesses on Poshmark, to partnering with Nobel Prize-winning founders at Mammoth Biosciences, to launching the first agentic IDE at Windsurf.

We're proud to supercharge brands like Prenuvo, Nova Labs, Mayfield, Fizz, Pebble, Ample, and many more.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO

Most PR jobs smooth things over. Ours shake things up.

You'll lead strategy and execution across 6-7 accounts, work directly with founders and content creators, and drive launch stories, products, and ideas that challenge industries - not blend in.

If you're sharp, fast, and done with fluff - keep reading. Here is what you'll do:

  • Lead strategy and execution across 6-7 startup accounts
  • Build founder relationships and help shape their public voice
  • Pitch to real humans - journalists, podcasters, YouTubers, TikTokers, Substack writers - and secure coverage that moves the needle
  • Co-create short-form videos, social posts, and direct-to-audience content that doesn't need a newsroom to go viral
  • Collaborate with creators to fuel our VerticalViews program
  • Manage and mentor a small, high-output team


WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 4-6 years running PR or comms campaigns, with a track record of wins (coverage, product launches, ideas that stuck)
  • Strong media relationships with business and tech journalists
  • Experience using AI tools to push ideas and workflows to be better for everyone
  • Experience working with content creators or helping clients build a voice online - not just media pitching
  • Comfortable talking to founders, pushing back on weak ideas, and delivering stronger ones
  • Obsessed with culture, headlines, and how ideas travel
  • Agency background - or a break-away star from one


WHY THIS JOB IS DIFFERENT

  • You'll work with founders building real companies - not just brand teams in endless Zooms
  • You'll help grow audiences - not just chase press hits
  • You'll move fast, get visible credit, and level up fast if you bring the heat
  • You'll shape strategy, not just execute someone else's plan


WORK FROM ANYWHERE - BUT MAKE IT COUNT

We don't just talk about diversity - we build with it.

Our CEO, Vijay Chattha, is one of the few South Asian American comms agency leaders in the U.S.

Over 30% of our partners are female-founded companies, and 35% feature BIPOC leadership.

We're remote-first, fast-moving, and idea-driven. We bond through themed celebrations, founder freestyle sessions, and high-energy all-hands.

Want to be at the forefront of tech, storytelling, and culture while working in your PJs? VSC is where that happens.

Apply now - or go back to writing press releases no one reads.
