Join Needle as PR & Earned Media Lead!

Needle is building a new category: the AI-powered marketing orchestrator. We're replacing the chaos of using 10+ tools, while managing marketing agencies and freelancers for DTC brands: 177% growth for our brands over 12 months, at 62% cost reduction.

We have the product. We have the narrative. We have the proof points. What we need is someone who knows exactly where to place those stories... and how to get editors, podcast hosts, and newsletter writers to say yes.

If you know how to pitch, land placements, and build media relationships in the DTC/e-commerce world, this role is for you.
