Head of PR & Communications

National Esports (NEST) is not just an esports organization — we’re building a future-facing brand across entertainment, events, media, research, fashion, and more. With bold ambitions and a founder-led team, we’re carving out space in a rapidly evolving industry and moving fast.

We’re in pre-seed stage and looking for leaders who aren’t just along for the ride — they’re dedicated, determined, and driven to help build something meaningful from the ground up.

The Role:

We’re searching for a Head of PR & Communications who can help us tell our story to the world — from journalists and podcasters to tech blogs and mainstream media. This is your opportunity to lead all public-facing communications across our brand, events, partnerships, and thought leadership initiatives.

If you’re someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, knows how to hustle media coverage, and isn’t afraid to get scrappy, pitch hard, and build relationships from scratch — we want you.

Responsibilities:

• Build and lead our PR strategy across all divisions and platforms

• Secure consistent coverage in gaming, tech, culture, and business media

• Write compelling press releases, media kits, and speaking points

• Coordinate press appearances and interviews for our leadership team

• Forge strong relationships with journalists, content creators, and outlets

• Develop crisis communications plans and handle sensitive messaging when needed

• Track media hits and measure impact across campaigns

• Represent NEST’s values while shaping its voice in the public eye

We’re Looking For Someone Who Is:

• Dedicated – You care about your work and the mission behind it

• Determined – You don’t wait to be told what to do; you go and do it

• Driven – You treat NEST’s reputation like your own and want to see it shine

• A relationship-builder who understands the media landscape

• Comfortable working in ambiguity and building systems from the ground up

• Skilled in storytelling, public messaging, and high-pressure situations

• Experienced in gaming/esports or adjacent industries (preferred)

Why Join Us:

• Flexible work environment (remote-first)

• Room for growth as we scale our brand and visibility

• Potential equity incentives for long-term contributors

• Join a team building something unique, with real creative freedom
