About Us
We are nove8 - a fast-growing mobile product company creating the next generation of digital experiences for pet owners. Our flagship app, Woofz, is evolving into a full-scale wellbeing platform that supports pets and their humans throughout every stage of life.
At nove8, we believe that every dog deserves lifelong care, and we’re here to make that a reality. Our mission is bold, and so is our team - we value ownership, fast execution, data-driven decisions, and a deep passion for building products that truly matter.
We are a remote-first company, distributed across Europe and united by the ambition to shape the future of pet wellbeing.
About the Role
This is a hands-on communications role with a focus on media relations and the special projects that build Woofz's reputation. Owning outbound media relationships (with a strong focus on the US market) and working closely with the leadership team, you'll help the world know Woofz's story and values even better.
You'll work closely with the Brand & Organic Lead, as well as key decision-makers across marketing and product.
Responsibilities
- Media pitching (US focus): Research, build, and pitch relevant journalists, podcasts, and outlets in the tech, lifestyle, business, and pet press
- Writing: Write pitches, press materials (press releases, op-eds, thought leadership pieces, quotes), and internal messaging documents for special projects to keep the broader team aligned
- Generating ideas: Spot timely hooks and story angles (news-jacking, data-led stories, founder POV pieces)
- Creating and running moment-driven special projects (cultural or category moments) and pro-bono projects that stretch across several channels (PR, social, current users), but are always anchored in a strong media hook. You own the campaign idea and story, and coordinate execution across the channels involved
- Preparing the spokespeople: Prepare talking points and brief key decision-makers ahead of interviews, podcasts, and speaking opportunities; help source and pitch conference/podcast speaking slots
- Coordinate our contractors (e.g. Reddit) to make sure the story stays consistent everywhere it shows up
- Collaborate with other departments - marketing, product and content teams
- Driving other projects: Drive projects that build Woofz's reputation in the market and help build trust among our users - e.g. submitting the app to industry awards, or finding opportunities to partner with other companies or organizations to create an interesting news hook and drive attention to the product
Requirements
- 3–4 years of experience in PR/communications, with hands-on experience pitching US media and working directly with spokespeople
- Strong writing skills, with a sharp eye for AI-generated copy - you can spot AI slop from three words in. You treat AI as a tool for drafting ideas and first passes, not as the writer. You're the one who turns that draft into something publishable
- Creativity - your eyes light up when you get to come up with something new, and you have a track record of generating original story ideas and angles
- English B2–C1
- Comfortable owning several projects/channels at once
- Strong sense of ownership and ability to work independently to deliver results
- Use AI tools daily with some automated routine tasks
Nice to Have
- Experience in a fast-growing startup or consumer app
