Eleven International is a multi-award-winning cross-border marketing and communications agency working with international Consumer Tech and B2B brands.

Our clients are often companies on the cusp of the cutting edge. These are emerging forward-thinking tech companies backed by the best VCs.

Despite being a young and growing boutique agency, Eleven International has reached milestones through its commitment to not only its clients, but also its team. If you’re passionate about communications and giving emerging brands a voice on a global platform, this is the place to be.

The Role

CLIENTS

Support key client accounts for our consumer tech practice with a focus on setting and achieving their strategic communications objectives, running accounts profitably, and building long-term relationships in the North American market, with an emphasis and focus on Canada. Support on the execution and oversee customized communications strategies for consumer technology clients. Existing media relationships with consumer technology, mainstream and lifestyle publications in the Canadian market. Guide our clients as a trusted, strategic partner, while managing expectations; develop a personal reputation as a thought leader that our clients seek out for insight and advice; advise our clients through unpredictable times and resolve major concerns. Strong at writing AI-free content, be it Press Releases, Pitches, Press Notes, FAQs, and more in English.

TEAM

Support or lead staff in a project management capacity, to ensure we deliver excellence for each and every client, every time. Support team with tasks and responsibilities; ensure the team has the required resources, training, and capacity. Foster a highly productive and supportive work environment that empowers each and every individual to excel.

AGENCY

Identify media relations opportunities, such as product seeding programs, product launches, thought leadership and more. Adhere to our confidentiality and disclosure agreements.

The Ideal Candidate The role is remote, however you should have prior experience with pitching media in Canada and preferably the U.S., and be capable of guiding the client with having PR strategies executed for consumer tech companies. You should also have experience with managing and setting expectations with demanding clients in the consumer and B2B tech sectors.

The ideal candidate will be a clear communicator and an adept writer, while also exhibiting the ability to think strategically. With experience working on or with diverse, international and remote teams, you’re capable of constantly communicating with your team and supporting multiple clients (up to 5) and projects at once, while still meeting deadlines.

Our clients often lean on our expertise to guide or lead their communications and marketing strategies. Often our clients will ask us for advice, so candidates must be quick to pick up trends in our clients’ industries and offer on-the-spot guidance for our clients.

You’ll be expected to tap into existing press contacts that you may have with global technology and business journalists. Ideally, you would have existing relationships with Canada-based Tier 1 mainstream tech and business journalists.

Additional preferred qualities:

Flexible Hours – We’re looking for a candidate who’s able to support and attentive to teams in different time zones while being a reliable go-to contact for our clients.

Detail Oriented – You’re able to learn from mistakes and self-implement processes to ensure that details don’t go unnoticed even under pressure.

In-House Background – Tech companies are chaotic; knowing the process or having experienced it yourself is important and a plus so you can understand the clients’ point of view.

Communications Experience – At least 6 years of experience in crafting a communications strategy and conducting media relations, with strong pre-existing relationships. If you’re an ex-journalist, you should apply if you wouldn’t be afraid to tap into your network on behalf of your clients.

Go-Getter - Able to take the initiative and manage clients, while making quick decisions. The more you offer, the larger the opportunity to grow with the business.

Great Communicator – While the role not surprisingly involves external communication, you’re also expected to excel in internal communication, and as a small agency, there’s nothing more important than an open and reliable channel of communication within your team.

Team Player – There’s a limit to what anyone can achieve alone. We’ve built a strong, supportive team of professionals who step in to help at a moment’s notice.

Through this you’ll get…

Exposure to industry-leading tech companies. Get the opportunity to work with hardware and AI clients building a global profile.

Fully remote workplace. The ideal candidate will be Canada-based, there’s no physical office and no official office hours.

Mentorship for your career growth. It’s common for our alumni to later move onto major tech companies despite never having had prior tech industry experience before.
