HI, WE'RE QUICKBASE

For just a minute, think about the complexity of the world around you. Whether it is raising a building, planning a massive solar grid, or adapting a supply chain on the fly, the pace of change has never been faster.

Digital transformation as we know it... is dead. It's just too slow. A recent study we worked on showed the businesses with the most software solutions also struggle with the most manual processes.

That's why we're here. We can't eliminate complexity. Instead, we focus on helping organizations embrace it to get more out of the systems and people they have.

At Quickbase, we help organizations see, connect, and control the complex projects that shape our world.

It's a big job and one our employees care about deeply. We're not just selling software. We're making the complex work around you work for you.

Whether it's AT&T coordinating the roll out of 5G, Southwest keeping air travel moving despite massive staff disruptions, or Patterson, NJ responding faster to the opioid crisis, Quickbase is changing the way organizations work together to do important things.

We've come a long way - from a brilliant idea 20 years ago to allow non-technical people to do things only database engineers could before to a fast-growing no-code software leader with 500,000 active users.

Today, Quickbase's no-code software allows business users at 6,000 organizations to rapidly create, connect and customize enterprise applications.

We quietly built a legion of raving fans as part of Intuit, and now, with the support of Vista Equity Partners, we're investing to tell the world all about it.

It is not just our platform that's unique, though. It's our culture people talk about. With a job as big as ours, our 700 people are a competitive bunch but with a team mindset.

That's why our anchor is the spirit of We Win Together. We're always innovating and comfortable taking one step at a time, even if we don't have all the answers, because We Improve Every Day.

And, we hold ourselves and others to a high standard because We Take Ownership.

Quickbase is a special place, and we'd love you to join us if you're up for the challenge.

ABOUT THE TEAM

At Quickbase, we believe in a "win together" culture so our marketing team is built to be challenging, but with a strong sense of belonging and inclusiveness.

We expect our leaders to set high standards and lead with empathy and compassion. To compete, our team operates in a "yes, and" ethos, believing that the path to greatness is getting better every day.

We embrace that spirit both in our work and in ourselves, and our hope is that leaders come here to stretch themselves to learn and grow alongside their teams.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Reporting to the SVP, Brand Experience, the Senior Manager of PR will help define and drive our global PR strategy. You'll lead a team of contractors who play a pivotal role in partnering with them to strategize and execute thought leadership and media strategies that educate, inspire, and influence our target audiences to create more brand awareness for the company and to our target buyer personas.

Working closely with Content, Brand, Solutions, and Product Marketing, your team will be responsible for building the right PR strategy and executing it in a way where our key spokespeople are looked at as thought leaders in the industry.

Our goal is to see an uptick in brand awareness from our brand surveys, and for Quickbase to be seen in the right stories, sharing the right narrative.

Your day-to-day will require a variety of working models, including working cross functionally across the company; directing contractors, agencies, and / or freelancers;

but also rolling up your sleeves to execute on deliverables yourself. This is a manager-doer role that demands strong creative thinking, flawless execution, bold innovation, operational excellence, and a strong spirit for partnership.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO QUICKBASE

Develop and execute a comprehensive PR strategy that is built to deliver measurable business results for the company. Work across functions to map out the most efficient processes to activate the strategy.

Prepare and coordinate PR materials cross functionally with marketing and throughout the organization, such as press releases, bylines, messaging, media, pitches, and media lists.

Stay on the pulse of today’s future of work, AI, and B2B enterprise software news, other trends to identify and recommend ways we can grow our communications strategies and expand brand awareness.

Work cross functionally throughout the organization and our marketing team to ensure program objectives and strategies are clearly communicated, aligned, and met internally.

Understand how to create a consistent news calendar and amplify PR results through social media, influencer marketing, paid content, blogs, and other content distribution.

Demonstrate experience working with customer advocacy to boost customer voices through all PR and in partnership with content.

Identify improvement in overall processes and partnerships and consistently drive implementation of changes and solutions.

WHO YOU ARE

You’re a seasoned storyteller with a proven track record being both a strategist and executer that pushes the boundaries of achieving brand awareness.

You are the perfect mix of a storyteller, problem solver, cross-functional communicator, and relationship builder. You’re a great writer and you understand the media landscape and the stories needed to influence the right audiences.

You’re as accomplished with media relationships as you are with PR measurement and showing the value of the program effectively.
