About the company:

Fleetzero is a marine energy and robotics company focused on decarbonizing the global shipping industry through advanced battery technology and electric propulsion systems. Founded in 2021, the company develops the Leviathan Modular Energy Storage System, a marine battery platform engineered to deliver high energy density at costs competitive with fossil fuel alternatives. Their flagship marine battery container stores 3.8 MWh of energy in a footprint 25% the size of a standard shipping container, and the system is designed to scale from small support vessels to large ocean-going ships, including missions capable of crossing the Pacific Ocean on a single charge.

Leviathan™ battery systems are on vessels. Autonomous programs are underway. A $43M Series A is public. The story is real and the timing is right.

This role owns Fleetzero's earned media program and event execution: building journalist and creator relationships across maritime trade press, defense publications, VC media, and mainstream business outlets - pitching the right angle to the right reporter, then executing at industry events with operational precision.

This is not a press-release-writing job. If you can name the journalist, the angle, and the outlet for a placement you drove in the last twelve months - this is your role.

What We're Looking For
• 3+ years of PR, communications, or events experience, preferably in B2B, industrial,
defense, or technology sectors.
• Bachelor's degree in marketing, journalism, business management or related field.
• An established network of maritime, defense, or energy journalists and editors is a
significant advantage.
• Proven track record of securing earned media placements
• Exceptional project management skills
• Strong written communication skills. Tight, clean prose.
• Willingness to travel to domestic and international events on short notice.

Bonus Points
• Existing relationships with reporters, creators, and podcasters.
• PR or Ad Agency experience.
• A strong portfolio of proven work.
• Examples of innovative activations you have led which led to positive business
outcomes.
• You thrive in a fast-paced startup, ever-fluid environment.
