Manager, Brand Experiences and Media Relations

Description

For nearly 60 years, ECOS has been a pioneer in sustainable innovation, proving that a company can be both purpose-driven and performance-oriented. As a Climate Positive manufacturer and leader in green chemistry, we are committed to creating products and experiences that make homes healthier and the planet safer. Our mission is simple but bold: to inspire people to live in harmony with the Earth, one conscious choice at a time.
 

This role brings ECOS to life through events, partnerships, media, and content with a focus on driving meaningful brand visibility that is intentional, credible, and on-brand.

This is not a traditional event role. We’re looking for someone who can create buzz, build relationships, and elevate ECOS and its leadership, while ensuring everything we do aligns with our values and positioning.

The right candidate is both an operator and a strategic thinker, someone who executes seamlessly, brings a point of view, and acts as a trusted voice in how and where ECOS shows up.

Social, Influencer & Content

• Build relationships with influencers and creators aligned with ECOS 
• Support content across before, during, and after event moments 

Brand Stewardship

• Ensure all events, partnerships, and opportunities are on-brand and aligned with ECOS’ values 
• Evaluate opportunities through a brand-first lens, not just reach or exposure 
• Provide recommendations on what we should and shouldn’t do 
• Act as a trusted partner to leadership, helping guide brand-right decisions 

Collaboration

• Partner across Marketing, PR, Social, Sales, Creative, and Sustainability teams
• Ensure alignment and integration across all touchpoints 

Requirements

• 5–10+ years in events, PR, brand, or experiential marketing 
• Experience with media outreach, press, or earned visibility 
• Strong understanding of social and content-driven marketing 
• Proven ability to create engaging, brand-aligned experiences 
• Strong judgment, communication, and relationship-building skills 
• Comfortable working closely with senior leadership      
• Organized, adaptable, and solutions-oriented
