About Tin Can

The super-magical Wi-Fi landline for kids. No screens, no texting, no strangers — just real conversation with Grandma, besties, and contacts you approve. Plug in, twirl that cord, and time-travel to pure voice fun. Backed by Greylock.

About the role

We're looking for a PR Coordinator who loves crafting a fun pitch just as much as the thrill of landing the story. You'll work closely with Tin Can’s Director of Communications and have real ownership over the day-to-day work that turns Tin Can into a name media (and parents) know and love.

What they're looking for

  • 1-3 years of PR or communications experience, ideally with some exposure to consumer, lifestyle, parenting, or tech accounts (Internships count! Agency experience is a strong plus)
  • Strong writing skills. You can shift tone between a punchy pitch, a formal press release, and a friendly follow-up email without breaking a sweat
  • A genuine interest in media and the news cycle. You know how to find a story, and you're not shy about chasing it down
  • Sharp organizational instincts. You can juggle a media list, a monitoring report, and three pitches in flight without dropping a single one
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action
  • A collaborative, low-ego approach

This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit back and wait for the angle or story to come to them. We want someone scrappy, curious, and a little obsessed with the news cycle — someone who reads consistently and can't help but think "that's a Tin Can story" when they see one. You'll be the engine behind Tin...
