About the Role

We're looking for a Senior PR & Communications Manager for a high-visibility, high-ownership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and execution. As the first in-house comms hire, you'll report directly to the Head of Communications & Content and will help build the PR function at Mixpanel and play a foundational role in shaping how the company is perceived by the press and public.

You'll own day-to-day communications programs across media relations, product launches, and internal comms — while serving as the primary point of contact for US, EMEA, and APAC agency partners and media. This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up at a company with a strong product, a clear category, and a compelling story to tell. This role requires two days per week in our San Francisco or New York office.
