Today, people look for that clarity everywhere: a Google search, an answer from ChatGPT, a Reddit thread, a TikTok from a creator they follow. We want NerdWallet to be the trusted voice that shows up everywhere consumers get their money information.\nA successful candidate has a passion for a good story, views communications as a business driver and has a proven track record of turning data, expert tips and point of view into coverage consumers want to read and find helpful. The role requires strong media relationships, a clear understanding of how search, AI, UGC and social platforms shape what people trust, and the ability to build effective relationships with media and internal partners.\nThis role reports to the Senior Director, Public Relations & Communications.\nWhere you can make an impact:\nMedia relations\nDrive earned media strategy and execution across NerdWallet’s verticals, balancing proactive storytelling, newsjacking and rapid response.\n\nTurn NerdWallet data, our Nerds’ expert tips and point of view into timely, helpful stories consumers want to read.\n\nPitch and land coverage in national business, consumer, personal finance and broadcast outlets.\n\nBuild and sustain relationships with reporters and producers so that NerdWallet is the call they make when consumer finance is the story.\n\nExpand what earned means: podcasts, newsletters, YouTubers and creators who shape money conversations.\n\nSearch and AI visibility\nPrioritize the outlets and story types that search engines rank and AI tools cite most, so NerdWallet is the source behind the answer.\n\nPartner with SEO and Content to track how NerdWallet shows up in search and is cited and recommended in AI answers, and close the gaps.\n\nWork with our data and research teams to turn NerdWallet surveys and studies into stories that are easy for journalists to run and for AI tools to cite.\n\nSpokesperson coaching\nAdvise and coach our Nerds on how to show up on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit and LinkedIn: formats, topics, tone and timing.

You are in the room when we decide what to pitch, not handed a request after the fact.\n\nDirect agency partners day to day.\n\nReport on what matters: share of voice, message pull-through, search and AI visibility, spokesperson reach and business impact.\n\nYour experience:\n5-8 years in PR or communications, in-house or agency, ideally in consumer, fintech or financial services.\n\nA track record of top-tier national and broadcast placements, with real relationships with reporters and producers.\n\nA working understanding of how search engines and AI tools find, rank and cite sources, and a point of view on how earned media drives visibility in both.\n\nFluency in social and UGC platforms. You know how TikTok, YouTube, Reddit and LinkedIn differ, and how creators and communities shape what people believe.\n\nExperience coaching spokespeople, including for social-first or video-first formats.\n\nExceptional writing and comfort with data. You can find the story in a data point, turn it into a headline and a pitch, and measure your own impact.\n\nFluency with AI tools in your own workflow. You use them daily and have a point of view on where they help and where they don’t.\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nPersonal finance or consumer financial products experience.\n\nExperience with SEO, AI visibility or social listening tools.\n\nExperience working with creators, podcasters or influencer programs.\n\nNational plus regional and local media experience.\n\nWhere:\nThis role will be remote (based in the U.S.).\n\nWe believe great work can be done anywhere.
