Empatico
• Own the daily pitch operation - proactively identifying story angles, drafting sharp pitches, and relentlessly following up to secure coverage across national media outlets and key regional markets (most notably, Texas). • Monitor the news and culture cycle in real time to spot reactive opportunities where Builders’ voice, insights, or programs can be inserted credibly and quickly. • Draft compelling press releases, media advisories, op-ed drafts, and story memos that make it easy for journalists to say yes. • Develop and maintain a robust media list across national political, civic, and cultural beats. • Treat creators as a core earned media channel - identifying, vetting, and building relationships with podcasters, newsletter writers, YouTube channels, and social creators whose audiences align with Builders’ mission and reach demographics traditional press doesn’t. Managing execution in collaboration with the Social team. • Build and maintain genuine, trust-based relationships with journalists, producers, editors, and bookers across print, digital, broadcast, and podcast platforms. • Serve as a consistent, reliable point of contact for media - responding quickly, providing useful background, and positioning Builders as a go-to source for cross-partisan civic stories. • Identify and cultivate relationships with emerging media voices and non-traditional platforms where Builders’ message can reach new audiences. • Support the placement and preparation of Builders spokespeople and Movement Partners for media appearances, interviews, and contributed content opportunities. • Leverage AI tools actively across your workflow - pitch drafting, media research, coverage analysis, and contact list building - staying ahead of emerging PR tech. • Own the team’s media monitoring and outreach stack (Muck Rack, SmartSuite, TVEyes) - maintaining lists, tracking coverage, and generating regular performance reports to sharpen strategy. • Use social listening and trend-monitoring tools to identify story opportunities early and keep Builders positioned to move quickly when moments arise. • Bring a continuous improvement mindset to the comms tech toolkit - evaluating new tools, testing what works, and making recommendations to the Editorial Director. • Contribute to messaging and communications frameworks - both providing input on strategy, and running the execution. • Partner with the Editorial Director to align earned media efforts with the broader editorial calendar, newsletter content, and organizational priorities. • Collaborate with programs, partnerships, and community teams to surface stories, data, and voices worth pitching. • Support crisis and rapid-response communications as needed, helping to draft reactive statements and coordinate media inquiries under pressure.
Job Requirements
- 5- 7 years of PR or communications experience, with the majority of your time spent in earned media - pitching, placing, and managing press.
- A proven pitching track record: you can point to placements you drove in national or major regional outlets, and you know what made them land.
- Ability to build relationships with political, civic, lifestyle, or national news reporters
- Sharp, fast writing: you can draft a pitch, a press release, or a reactive statement that is clean, on-brand, and compelling without heavy editing.
- Deep familiarity with the national political and media landscape - you know the beats, the outlets, and the reporters who cover civic life.
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where priorities shift and no two days look the same.
- An instinct for what’s newsworthy - you read the news constantly and can immediately spot the angle that connects a story to Builders’ mission.
- An overall technology-forward mindset - you proactively seek out tools that make you faster and smarter, and you bring that curiosity to the rest of the team. Including fluency with the modern PR tech stack - media monitoring, outreach, AI tools, and measurement platforms are part of your daily workflow, not a learning curve.
- Collaborative spirit and genuine enthusiasm for Builders’ cross-partisan mission - you understand that reaching both sides of the aisle is a feature, not a constraint.
- Familiarity with the Texas political and media landscape - knowledge of key outlets, reporters, and civic players is a genuine plus.
- Existing relationships with creators, podcasters, or newsletter writers in the political, civic, or culture space.
- Experience in nonprofit, advocacy, or civic sector communications.
- Familiarity with op-ed placement and thought leadership development.
- Experience supporting executive spokespeople or public figures in media contexts.
Benefits

Role Description RSi is a healthcare revenue cycle management company. Every day, we route thousands of patient and account communications — inbound and outbound calls, IVR self-service payments, and staff collaboration — through the voice and contact center platforms that keep the business running. We're looking for a Unified Communications Engineer to own the day-to-day operation, configuration, and reliability of those platforms. This role sits at the intersection of enterprise telephony and contact center technology, reporting to the Technology Manager, IT & Innovation. You'll be responsible for the systems that route inbound and outbound calls, deliver interactive voice response experiences to consumers, and connect RSi staff through modern cloud voice services. Because RSi operates in a healthcare revenue cycle environment governed by HIPAA, FDCPA, Regulation F, and the TCPA, this role carries real compliance weight — every dialer campaign, call flow, and IVR menu you touch has direct regulatory implications. You'll also play a meaningful part in RSi's active mergers and acquisitions program, where consolidating and integrating acquired telephony environments is a recurring workstream. What You'll Do: - Administer, configure, and maintain RSi's cloud unified communications platforms, including RingCentral and Microsoft Teams Phone, across users, sites, and departments. - Provision and manage user accounts, phone numbers, calling policies, call queues, auto attendants, and voicemail configurations. - Manage number porting, extension planning, dial plans, and directory accuracy across all voice platforms. - Serve as the escalation point for complex voice issues that frontline support cannot resolve. - Configure and support outbound and inbound contact center platforms, primarily LiveVox, and additional platforms such as TCN or RevSpring as the environment requires. - Build, adjust, and monitor dialing campaigns, call handling logic, and agent routing in coordination with Operations and Compliance. - Tune call pacing, abandonment controls, and time zone and calling window rules to remain within regulatory limits. - Support integrations between contact center platforms and RSi's collections and payment systems. - Design, program, test, and maintain interactive voice response call flows, spanning vendor call flow builders and, where required, scripting and API-level integration work. - Translate business and compliance requirements into working IVR menus, prompts, and self-service payment experiences. - Maintain version control and documentation for all IVR call flows so that changes are traceable and auditable. - Validate call flows end to end before release, including consumer-facing prompts, payment paths, and fallback handling. - Apply a firm working knowledge of VoIP fundamentals — SIP signaling, trunking, session border controller concepts, codecs, and quality of service — to diagnose and resolve call quality issues. - Partner with carriers and vendors on trunk provisioning, troubleshooting, and capacity planning. - Administer Teams Phone as a core enterprise voice service, including enterprise voice policies, calling plans or direct routing, and device management. - Configure all dialer and IVR systems to operate within TCPA, FDCPA, and Regulation F requirements, including consent handling, calling windows, contact frequency limits, and do-not-call enforcement. - Ensure PHI is protected across voice systems, voicemail, and call flows in line with HIPAA and RSi security policy. - Maintain configuration records and change logs sufficient to support internal and external audits. - Work directly with Compliance and Security before deploying changes that affect consumer contact. - Support the assessment, migration, and consolidation of telephony and contact center environments inherited through acquisitions. - Monitor platform health, call quality, and campaign performance, and respond to incidents and outages. - Maintain clear, current documentation for configurations, call flows, integrations, and standard operating procedures, and provide knowledge transfer to the service desk and operations teams. Qualifications - 3+ years of hands-on administration of enterprise voice or contact center telephony platforms. - Firm working knowledge of VoIP, including SIP and general session and call quality troubleshooting. - Hands-on experience administering Microsoft Teams Phone. - Demonstrated experience designing and programming IVR call flows, including menu logic, prompts, and testing. - Hands-on administration experience with RingCentral or a directly comparable UCaaS platform. - Direct configuration and administration experience with LiveVox contact center and dialer platforms, including campaign and IVR setup. - Working familiarity with the regulatory obligations that govern outbound calling and consumer contact — TCPA, FDCPA, and Regulation F — and the ability to configure systems accordingly. - Strong troubleshooting discipline, clear written documentation habits, and the ability to work directly with Compliance, Security, and Operations. - Experience with TCN or RevSpring, including RevSpring IVR payment and outbound communication features. - Scripting or API integration experience, for example Python or REST, for building IVR and payment integrations. - Prior experience in a healthcare revenue cycle, collections, or other regulated contact center environment. - Experience integrating or consolidating telephony platforms during a merger or acquisition. - Relevant certifications in Microsoft Teams voice, RingCentral, or contact center platforms. Benefits - Competitive pay with ample opportunities for professional growth. - Fully remote position with a stable Monday–Friday schedule. - Collaborative, performance-driven environment with expert leadership. - Mission-driven work supporting essential healthcare services. - Recognition as a nationally respected leader in healthcare revenue management. Physical Requirements - Comfortable working at a computer for extended periods. - Ability to occasionally lift items weighing up to 15 pounds. What to Expect When You Apply Our hiring process is designed to find exceptional candidates. Once your application is received, you'll receive an invitation to complete an initial skills assessment. This step is essential: completing this assessment promptly positions you for an interview and demonstrates your commitment to excellence. We believe in creating exceptional teams, and this process ensures that every member at RSi has the opportunity to thrive and grow. Ready to be part of something special?
