Medallia’s mission is to help companies win through customer experience. The world’s best-loved brands trust Medallia’s Experience Cloud™, which embeds the pulse of the customer in an organization and empowers employees with the real-time customer data, insights, and tools they need to make every experience great. Named a leader in the most recent Forrester Wave and ranked in the 2018 Forbes Cloud 100 list, Medallia is growing quickly, with a global footprint that spans Silicon Valley, Austin, New York, Washington DC, London, Paris, Sydney, Buenos Aires, and Tel Aviv. Here, we value people for each of the aspects that make them whole. We believe that people should not be defined only by a job title—nobody is "just an engineer" or "just a salesperson." We are each partners, parents, children, siblings, friends, and former classmates. We have different backgrounds and we celebrate different cultures. And, just like our product, we honor each of the experiences that build our people.
At Medallia we hire the whole person, not just a part of them.

This person will work closely with our CMO to champion Medallia and reach the diverse audiences inclusive of press, analysts, and prospects.

Key responsibilities include:
Manage PR and direct media and analyst relations, social media and digital media (paid earned and owned) for North America in close conjunction with the marketing and talent teams.
Demonstrate very strong media relationships that can translate into coverage.
Help foster creativity amongst team members, and brainstorm new ideas effectively.
Define and land coverage in key vehicles for prospects and investors with ingenious pitches and angles.
